From '06 when we took Whitworth through '14 the Bengals used a grand total of THREE picks in the first 3 rounds of the draft on O-linemen. During that same time the other 31 teams used 143 picks in the first three rounds on O-linemen. So why doesn't every other team in the league have an O-line just as good as the Bengals?
The fact is that the talent on the O-line is elite because Paul Alexander has coached it to that level.
That's opinion.....objection sustained.
The fact is, we have two first rounders at tackle, a first rounder at guard, two high rounders at tackle on the bench, Boling was 101st pick and considered the best guard in that draft, and then there's the lone low rounder (a 4th rounder) that still has problems snapping the damn ball after two years at this level. Elite coaching my ass.....
