I think I've heard that said about the Bengals only a couple of times, "The Bengals O Line is three yards down the field before the RB even reaches the line."
Three free yards before a RB has to start squeezing through.
I just wonder what Barry Sanders would have been able to do if he played in Dallas during his career?
Maybe now the Bengals will have two 100 yard rushers in a game and two 1000 yard rushers in a season. And if this line pass blocks...look out, this team is going to win, even in the playoffs.
Nice post Neb, just makes me tingly inside.
I said it before with a Line that can block at will in the run game and teams cannot stop it we CAN win in the Playoffs...
Even with Marv as the HC.

For sure, Barry is without a doubt the best RB ever IMO.
To do what he did behind a terrible O-line is just amazing and i don't know of another RB that could do it.
