It's not like they NEED coaching to play, they've already made the NFL, so they must be already pretty good at what they do.
Because it did work for a lot of players.
For the 8 year period from '07 through '15 PFF ranked the Bengals O-line number one in the league in pass protection. And PFF's unit rankings are not based on the same subjective formula as the individual rankings that I rail against all the time.
Bodine just worked better in the buffalo system. Just like Rich Braham worked better in the Bengals system than he did with the Cards who cut him before we signed him.
