claptonrocks Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 On Addeniji. This kid has been abused position wise since he arrived.. He's played RT RG LG LT to help out. I remember Manyweather saying he was a steal when they drafted him. He said he was a LT possibly LG.. Unforseen shit play from the RG spot and Pollack inserts him there.. Bad move.. RG is a power position.. Big mauling road graders . Its bully ball there.. Adenijji is only 302 lbs.. Hes more tech than physical. Stick him back to LT as a backup and he could provide quality depth there.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't all the Great Minds on this site convinced you that we don't have a Single Offensive Lineman on the roster that is any Good??

sparky151 Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 Well we do have a lot of young backups who certainly don't deserve to be starting in the NFL but were thrust into service. If it makes you feel better, PFF likes Fred Johnson and rated his 90 snaps last season as our highest graded o-lineman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince had an 88 pff after 50 snaps as an extra lineman in schemes. Insert him into stater and he was bad.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 Yes, like everyone else I don't want Fred Johnson starting for the team. We need 4 new guys who can play 1200+ snaps at an above average level. The good thing is that every free agent O-lineman's agent will be calling so we'll have options this year.

It's pretty obvious that Adeniji doesn't have the strength to start in the NFL. He gets blown back by nearly everyone he faces. Not just Aaron Donald. Even for smaller guys at LT like Williams, 315 in 2021, core strength is essential. Whitworth pointed that out about Oogie-Boogie not having the proper core strength when he left. He was right. Williams has been working on his body for several years and is still considered undersized as a LT. Adeniji will get bullrushed in pass protection at any spot he plays on the line. He can't handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we see him bigger and maybe better this year on the Left side.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRAPradio Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 More evidence (like we needed more) that we need help on the line. Burrow seems to be about average when it comes to NOT creating his own pressure. I think he needs to do a better job of taking a 6 yard sack vs. a 16 yard sack though.

I_C_Deadpeople Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 “You can build an offensive line without using all your first-round picks to do it. If you go back and look at the last five Super Bowl-winning teams, 25 starting offensive linemen, three of them were home-grown first-round picks. You just can’t have any tomato cans out there.” —Daniel Jeremiah of NFL Network, with some wise words about team construction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 Pollack spoke at the Combine today - here is some of it per the Enquirer- the kind of leader he's looking for may be instructive per free agency... Quote Over the next few weeks, Pollack will be evaluating the offensive linemen who will be available in free agency after a thorough self-scout of the players he currently has in his room. In his 16th season as an NFL coach, Pollack has established the identity he feels his group must have to be successful. “Just from what I see on tape and then does he fit in the room?” Pollack said. “Is he a leader? Is he a guy that’s going to be that alpha male? Is he a guy that’s going to be more reserved? I’d love to have more leadership in the room, love to have more alpha males in the room, can’t get enough of those guys. Would love to have more what I call glass eaters in the room. Can never have enough of those guys. That’s what this league requires. Those are the kind of offensive linemen that we’re looking for.” The attention surrounding the Bengals’ offensive line this offseason will be at an all-time high following how the Super Bowl 56 loss unfolded. Quarterback Joe Burrow, in his second season in the NFL, was sacked seven times in the loss to the Rams. Burrow was sacked 70 times in total, including the regular season and the playoffs. The 70 sacks Burrow took is the third-most in NFL history. Pollack specifically addressed the number of sacks his team allowed this season on Wednesday at the combine. “I hate all sacks,” Pollack said. “They all make me angry and upset. I understand why they happen but we don’t’ want them. I would love to be able to get zero sacks the entire year. That is what I am straining for and losing my mind the whole time every day about. That’s not realistic but that is what I am grinding on and everyone’s approach should be that way.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky151 Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 Wait, Pollack hasn't finished his post season evaluations of current players? Why not? Seems pretty late in the game to just now be doing that. The coaches should be grading each player based on their performance every week. The week after the last game they should have a full season writeup on every player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure but he should finish his 2021 work before he goes on vacation. Since the Bengals use coaches as scouts to evaluate free agents and potential draftees, he should do his vacation in June.
