Solving the REAL Problem

Watch film on Russell Bodine at North Carolina.  He was a mauler.

Watch film on Cedric Ogbuehi at Texas A&M.  He was wicked good.

Watch film on Jake Fisher at Oregon.  He was one of the best.

Watch film on Andre Smith at Alabama.  He might have been the best college left tackle I've seen in the past decade.

These fine players came to Cincinnati and now their techniques are ruined.  They are empty shells of their old selves.  It's visible, palpable, and everyone can see it except Paul Alexander.  The Piano Man has ruined the techniques of America's best linemen and Andy Dalton will someday pay the price for his ineptitude just like Carson Palmer did.

Get a new offensive line coach, one who is not enamored with the obsolete zone blocking techniques of the 1990s.

I remember Willie Anderson putting out a tweet about Cedric Ogbuehi and telling people not to give up on him and that the kid had talent. He offered to come work with him and get him straightened out. 

Personally, I agree with you. The talent is there, the technique is all wrong. Munoz, Willie, hell even Joe Walters is hanging around doing things, let those guys go work with the young guys on the line and there would be improvement.
