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.
Well then why did PA pick Bodine for his system if he didn't fit it?
Trying to put square pegs in a round hole is what it was.
The Line sure blocked much better once they adjusted the scheme last season, this is not a coincidence.
PA just didn't have it anymore, lets call it like it is and this is another big sign of this truth.
Bodine was really bad here, he goes to another team and a new Line coach, plays well.
PA was here, went to another team and got fired.
