Redmond was one of the worst in the league at guard. Both tackles also struggled giving up a ton of pressures. Price wasnt awful in pass pro but also didnt stand out and struggled with 1vs1 run blocks against IDL. Boling also had a career worst year in pass pro.
That said... they did improve drastically over 2017 which had to be the worst offensive line play I have ever seen.
Pressures is pretty subjective, but even if you said the Bengals were a dead last 32nd in Pressures Allowed, that would still average out to a 14.5 average with their other stat ratings. If you said they were dead last 32nd in Penalties, that would drag them down to an average of 18.
To get a rating of 27th based on objective stats, you would have to insanely overweight Pressures compared to Sacks and Hits in your equation, which makes no sense. The offense can function if the QB gets pressured. It can't if he gets sacked.
Concrete data doesn't bear out their ratings. If Joe Mixon is only a "Good" RB by their rankings, how does he lead the conference in rushing behind one their worst ranked OL's in the league?
