Where are you getting these rankings?

PFF has them at #7 and #16 respectively

That's why I said they're coached up as a unit.

Just like the Steelers. Started the season ranked #28. Ended #10. And that was with mediocre talent according to a lot of posters here.

Individual grades matter little for line play. It's how they play as a unit. Their OL is ranked #4 in the NFL.

4th based on what?

Bengals scrub line giving Burrow all day.

Bengals have the Bills dazed and confused on defense.

Just makes me want to use our first three picks on the lines. It’s not sexy but effective

[NorthCoast]

So invest highly in your Tackles like many of us have been saying for years. Aside from Trent who is a stud LT, and McGlinchey at RT who is good, the interior of the line are scrap heap players. Their RG graded out at 49.6 overall, and the other interior at 69.0 and 64.9. Team lost 2 pro bowlers before the season and didn't miss a beat. They've been coached up as a unit and it shows on the field.

Bengals throwing the play book at them.

Bengals offense has the Bills defense totally confused. They don’t know what the bengals are going to call from one play to next

[Chucktownsteeler]

I was impressed last season with the way KP8 kept his eyes downfield while on the move.

[Steel Maniac]

You're missing the most obvious difference. SF OL is elite. There second level blocking is second to none. The Steelers OL, while improving, isn't near the talent of SF's.

Boom…….notice how 49ers and Eagles O-lines are so good.

[Steel Maniac]

Yeah, with QBs that can manipulate the pocket and keep eyes downfield you don't need the best OL. We really could use another weapon for Kenny.

He needs weapons but the team ( as a whole) needs so much. And not enough draft picks to fix it all.

[WindyCitySteel]

Oooh, Allen missed a big one there.

[Chucktownsteeler]

Bengals no line, no problem on that first drive

They have a couple nice weapons at WR. That matters.
