Cincinnati still has a “first contact” problem in the run game and by this I mean the linemen — with the exception of Billy Price — still don’t sustain blocks long enough to turn their opponent this way or that way.  It’s better already but improvements need to be made.

This isn’t a complaint and I’m happy Frank Pollack fixed the pass blocking first so Andy Dalton can throw without worrying about getting flattened.

I tend to agree with your thinking.  I fully expect the line to take time to grow and solidify as a unit.  Meanwhile, if they could just work on executing some quick traps, generate a little movement, that should encourage the backs to get their tails up in the hole, rather than dancing in the backfield.
