Why not say, “ Our offensive line play is unacceptable from top to bottom, if they can’t get the job done, then we’ll find guys who can.” These are grown men getting paid millions to play a game and no one should give a damn if their feelings are hurt. Especially the coach.
Very very rarely do you get positive results from negativeative reinforcement. What would the Bengals coaches or management gain from publically shaming their players? Where's the win there?
Besides that, what would otherer players outside the org think? Who would want to signgn with a team that admonishes people publically?
Risk vs reward.
