Now, I can't tell you weather or not he was just the product of a good college OL coach, but that guy had a lot of drive coming off the ball. I was actually excited when we took him, as I had actually watched him play several games, and was comfortable with what the Bengals were getting.
Yeah, i was excited about getting Bodine at the time. He was a mauler at NC and thought he would be an upgrade
over what we had, he was solid but had little upside but an immediate upgrade. He wasn't terrible his rookie season
but i thought he would of grown more than he has to say the least.
Just another example of PA taking a good run blocking college Center and doing nothing with him.
Might of became a worse run blocker in the NFL, similar to Zeitler who was a good run blocker in college.
With Pollack, he is the exact opposite of PA, great run blocking coach that also teaches good technique in pass pro.
