I have always thought Bodine was a little better than what we give him credit for, but no more after yesterday. I know I'm beating a dead horse here, but he stunk it up pretty bad yesterday. On 1 play you could see Andy trying to get him to snap the ball and Bodine is taking his sweet time doing whatever centers do and we had to call a timeout. Our last drive he got his ass handed to him by Peko on 2 consecutive plays, pretty much killing any chance of a 1st down.
Mark me down right now for on Billy Price bandwagon!

Wait, is Bodine terrible or average?
Let's be real, though, he's not good. The best thing you can say is that he holds his blocks well, even if he's being pushed into the QB's lap.

One other rant, don't want to start another thread, Vinney Rey can't tackle for crap. He's slow and is nothing more than a drag down tackler. Anderson hit him head on and bowled him over to score. In fact tackling was atrocious mostly. Burfict seems to be the only one who hits people and they usually stop in their track...

But he can bench press a house. Of course that could just mean he has really short arms. How come we never hear what he can squat and dead lift?

Why would you do that to Billy Price? Let him go to a good team, not one where his talents will be coached to nothing.

I kind of worry about billy Price. I know he's been praised as a center, but when he was guard he got killed a lot on pass pro.

When we first drafted Bodine, I was so excited. He opened some pretty good holes for Gio Bernard to run through, while at 'Carolina. This was one time where I had initially thought that the Bengals actually made a good choice that filled a position of need.
Now, were half way through his fourth and final season on his rookie contract, and most of us have been wishing he was not on the team for the past two seasons.
I have to wonder a bit, is this a case of a player really being that bad? Or is it that the coaching isn't doing something right, in order to get this man to play up to the expectations? I will admit that I didn't watch him all that closely in college, in order to know if he was any good against behemoth NTs versus the odd front. However, as a pro, he has never been able to handle a NT one on one. So, in my mind, he's got to go. You simply cannot expect to succeed in today's NFL with a Center that cannot at least stalemate a NT 8/10 plays.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

Give me Vinnie Rey over vigil any day of the week. Vigil is not very good. Vinnie is at least at least an average player.

Bodine is the weakest link !
And that's a hell of a note on this O-line.

There is another--Jordan Evans. Why he is not an every down player boggles the mind.

I hope the Bengals draft Quentin Nelson next draft. At least they will have a solid guard.
There are so many holes in the O-line to fill in next draft. Sad thing is, there doesn't seem to be a lot of exceptional tackles next year coming out. Means, Og and Fisher may still be around for at least next season. Boiling has had a bad year as well.

Ok? Someone slammed Vinnie but I was pointing out he’s still better than Vigil. He’s certainly the weakest of the LBs

Shaking my head that you think Vinnie is better than Vigil..... he's not. And Vigil continues to improve, while Vinney is on the decline.... I like Rey, but he is what he has always been... a solid backup. Anytime he is pressed to start for an extended period, he wears down and his play drastically drops. It's been that way since he has been here.

The fans see this, the media sees this, PFF rankings show it. Why can't the Bengals coaching staff seem to understand it?
BTW... I hate looking at Paul Alexander's face when he is on TV. He has that look of your wife's brother who lives with you for free. He knows you cant stand him, but there is also no chance in hell that he is going anywhere.
