The Bengals have done an excellent job building their offensive line this offseason. We’ve spent a lot of time breaking down the additions, the potential improvements, and the departures (Russell Bodine). An improved O-line should most certainly lead to more efficient rushing and a better offense as a whole. Though we at Stripe Hype are hopeful for the potential improvement along the line, PFF is not buying it.
After last season, PFF graded the Bengals’ line as the 5th worst unit in the entire league. That ranking may be generous, as the line was virtually useless against both the run and the pass.
