Criticisms of Bengals center Russell Bodine has his coach really peeved

CINCINNATI -- If you see Cincinnati Bengals offensive line coach Paul Alexander around town, do him a favor, OK?

Don't ask him about Russell Bodine.

Alexander was trying to get his haircut recently at a popular downtown Cincinnati barber shop when he was jokingly harassed about starting Bodine at center. Now entering his third season, Bodine has been the Bengals' starting center since his rookie year. Although he hasn't really had them in games, snap issues have overshadowed Bodine's previous offseasons. He's also been criticized by Pro Football Focus for his problematic protection skills.
