In 2019 Bobby Hart played 92 more snaps than he did in 2018 (1086 to 994), but even more important the Bengals had 85 more passing plays (attempts + sacks) than 2018 (664 to 579). Yet Hart only allowed about a third as many sacks in 2019 as 2018 (4 to 11.5) and he cut his penalties in half (12 to 6). Only 2 of Harts 6 penalties were holding.
There were 64 players that started at least 8 games as an OT last year and played at least 500 snaps. If you look at snaps per (sacks allowed + holding penalties) Hart ranked 13th among those 64. He also ranked 25th in sacks per snap.

Sacks Per + Holding Penalties???
Man, you're really going out of your way on this one. Kids, if you wanted an example "you can make statistics anything you want" this is a perfect example right here.
What Fred is convienently leaving out are obvious things, such as: False starts, pressures allowed, run blocking, etc.
Whether or not you want to use the description "sucks", you'll find he's well below average if you look at his complete body of work. Run blocking matters (especially from the RT). Pressures matter. False starts matter.
Creating some made up metric of "Sacks per + Holding calls X 3.142 - the Atomic Weight of Helium = X" isn't an accurate or honest way to grade the position.
