People are blaming Cook because Zeitler had a bad game vs Dallas and Andre got spanked by Graham.

It just wasn't his fault.

That is all true. I would just rather have Robinson out there fulltime, that is all.

Not talking bad about Cook just wanting to see Robinson out there instead.

That's fine to want.
But the play from the C position hasnt been bad.
Individual bad performances from other guys have occurred.
Just coincidence.

I wonder why other teams haven't employed this Center by Committee approach?

Grudan and/or other coaches were wrong about the WR by committee approach, especially with Binns being part of that rotation as he is no longer a Bengal. And I think he and/or the other coaches are wrong about this as the center is the qb of the o-line calling out what the d-line and lbs are showing to the other lineman. Only position on offense that teams do a committee approach is at RB more than any other position. They might for a receiver spot, but that is probably because of no one standing out to be a starter due to lesser talent, like it was here early on.

Also to comment on Grudan, I dont understand how the playcalling at times seems like a bullheaded approach like the last game. Dalton wasnt sharp and was getting hurried/ sacked at the same time. Yet there were a lot of drop back passes of 5 to 7 steps back. I dont know, I like Jay and all, but he still has a ways to go to be a top-notch coordinator in the league.

oh you mean the moron that cant win a playoff game in 10 years knows more?

or the moron that can ever leave our team with some TOs at the end of the game knows more?

or how bout the moron who cant adjust at halftime knows more?

better yet the MORON WHO has a RB gashing a defense with a poor interior run D and ONLY RUNS HIM 12 times the whole game even though he had close to 90 yards on 12 carries? Is that the man you speak of that "knows more"??

I'd imagine if Andy was a little more established he'd say something. I wonder what Brady, Manning, Rodgers, Brees, ect... would say about a similar situation.

I call B.S. on what Gruden said. I don't think he believes a WORD of what he said. It's not his call--> Paul Alexander is calling this and Marvin is too scared to say no him.

Gruden's too smart to honestly believe what he said. He knows it's crap but it's not his call to keep Robinson in.

PAUL ALEXANDER IS BEHIND THIS ***** DECISION....

Then why do you pretend to know anything about Offensive line play?

You mean pretend that Fat Boy does't get pwned on pass protection?

Or that Cook doesn't get rolled like the Pillsbury Dough Boy?

Or that Boling doesn't get knocked around more than a 3 dollar skank?

Whitworth and Zeitler = the only men on the line and that's a fact toast.

yes, compared to the fans here who have never even coached a high school team to a winning record.

He knows a thousand times more about coaching than any of them. That is why he gets paid millions of dollars to coach an NFL team.

Uh, no, it is not a fact at all. Andre has been one of the better RTs in the league this year, and Boiling has been playing well also.

Compared to the same fans who've paid THOUSANDS to witness continued FAILURE of said product?

NFL is results oriented or you're canned, unless you're Mikey Boy's pool boy.

Three blind mice were a hit too.

Next fallacy.

You are funny, but this is getting old.

Profootballfocus ranked Andre Smith as the best right tackle in the league after 12 games.

Rotoworld's Nick Mensio ranks him as the second best Tackle in free agency this year behind only Ryan Clady.

What have you got to back up your opinion other than middle school insults?

Bengals have rushed for 189, 221, 128, 146 and 157 yards the last 5 games. That's an average of 168.2 ypg. Over the previous 5 they averaged 80.6 ypg. Where does the turd part enter, again?

Little thing called pass protection, lack thereof which directly led to our 3-4 home record.

I'd also rank the play calling in the last two games as definitive turds, especially the 2nd half of the cowpokes game.

Pass pro has been bad the last 2 weeks. Before that, 10 sacks in the previous 6 games. And that includes 5 against the Broncos who have a couple guys named Miller and Dumerville.

So, besides the pass pro the last 2 weeks, it seems the Bengals line has been performing pretty well?

Who played at center last two games?

You can drive around Smith in a humaround and Boling is flat out 2nd string.

Dalton has also been running for his life to escape sacks and has been consistently pressured which has led to a rash of incompletions in crucial drives which = a 3-4 home record.
