The o-line could be better, but a damn site better than the last couple of years. Agree I give Lazor the credit! Pollack too, but if Lazor hadn't insisted on changes to the o-line blocking, we might not of gotten Pollack.
We're also averaging a healthy 4.5 YPC on the ground. Last year, we averaged 3.3 YPC through 4 games.
If this holds, it will be the best season by a Bengals o-line since 1988. That was the last time we averaged 4.5 YPC or better AND finished with 30 or fewer sacks. As someone who pimped Lazor from day one, it's nice to see the success come to fruition...and to those who questioned the Pollack hype, well...
