Is Alex Redmond the Bengals’ x-factor? – Cincy Jungle

That very same d-line held Derrick Henry to 84 backyards on 25 brings and Myles Gaskin to 66 yards on 22 carries the previous two weeks. Mixons 151 yards is rather excellent.

Yes, he wasnt outstanding (PFF offered him a run blocking grade of 55.9 and a pass blocking grade of 47.4), making comparable grades to Fred Johnson, who played best guard the previous 2 weeks. When you include the revolving door of best guard to his issues, bad things occur, like in Week 3 versus the Philadelphia Eagles, when the Bengals permitted 8 sacks.

#Bengals O-line coach Jim Turner stated chemistry is a problem with the line after having to replace Sua- Filo. That very same d-line held Derrick Henry to 84 yards on 25 carries and Myles Gaskin to 66 backyards on 22 brings the previous two weeks.

The Cincinnati Bengals offensive line went from looking awful to– dare I say– outstanding in one week. Joe Mixon controlled on the ground (25 carries, 151 lawns, 2 TDs), and Joe Burrow had time to toss without getting hit or pressured extremely much.

Thats where Alex Redmond comes in. Yes, he wasnt excellent (PFF gave him a run obstructing grade of 55.9 and a pass obstructing grade of 47.4), making similar grades to Fred Johnson, who played best guard the previous two weeks. And Redmond did have a bad holding charge. But theres something to be said about the familiarity he offers. Bobby Hart has enough issues of his own. When you add the revolving door of best guard to his problems, bad things happen, like in Week 3 versus the Philadelphia Eagles, when the Bengals enabled 8 sacks.

Something huge changed in Week 4, whether it was, as Sheeran notes, the tight ends stepping up in run stopping or basically an ideal guard with experience back into the lineup. Redmond is probably never going to provide even typical play regularly, but up until Xavier Sua-Filo can return from injury (he shed his walking boot recently), he may be the teams finest option moving on.

As John Sheeran mentions in the video below, the Jacksonville Jaguars include a weak protective line with only Josh Allen efficient in creating a pass rush and getting off the block. He states, tight ends Drew Sample and Cethan Carter did a good task of sealing their gaps and clearing huge holes for Mixon and Giovani Bernard. However the offending line likewise had fun with more cohesiveness.

Redmond playing at an even borderline-starter level is a substantial increase to the system in addition to the communication and chemistry he brings as a result of being on the group for 4 years. Both were problems heading into Week 4.
