Letting Whitworth go and the Ogbuhei & Fisher experiment completely failed. This results in poor running lanes and poor pass blocking. The Bengals don't get the most out of Dalton, Green, Boyd, Mixon. It also means the Bengals D ends up on the field too much. Forget about running out the clock, Bengals can't block enough to come close. It also means the other teams QB gets plenty of chances to beat Bengals. Against good teams Bengals blocking has been so bad that Bengals were never in the game. I've seen Bengals call it quits in 3rd quarter just to keep Bengals QB from getting killed. Good teams destroy our O Line to the point the game never should have been played.
In the 1980's the Bengals had a great O Line and went to 2 Super Bowls. The Bengals have not won a play-off game since. Mike Brown on down to the new coaches need to see they will never get a play-off win without good blocking across the board from tackle to tackle. The new coach from Rams should know adding Whitworth got Rams to play-off wins. Without Whitworth Rams coaching doesn't look so hot. The X's and O's of entire playbook blow up as defenses pour through bad Bengals blocking.
So Bengals need Blocking. Mostly OT. Those who can't see that must be the people who say they never get to watch Bengals where they live. If you watch the Bengals, the No Blocking is an issue every week the last few years. As people complain about poor run game or poor passing game, smell the roses and see that it is poor blocking. Right now Bengals could use a bell cow at tackle, they will find trying to put a guard out there or other half assignment moves will be lit up by the good teams again this year. I'm not talking about when Bengals play a bad team and pad their stats. You all know what happens when Bengals play a good team, no blocking so 3 and out, 3 and out, 3 and out. BENGALS NEED BLOCKING.
