Bodine was PFF's highest-graded center last week with a +4.8 in the Bengals' 24-19 victory against San Diego, and the rest of the O-line also received high marks.
Andre Smith (+4.6) and Andrew Whitworth (+3.6) were the first and third highest graded tackles, respectively. And Clint Boling (+4.4) and Kevin Zeitler (3.4) were third and fifth, respectively, among guards.
"Not to take a shot at those guys, but I think it would be hard to grade an O-lineman without knowing exactly what the schemes are there," Bodine said. "Obviously you can grade some pad levels, some pressures, some quarterback hits, stuff like that. But I don’t pay much attention to it."
But using his own eye test, both on the field and in the film room, Bodine said his high marks were deserved.
"Yeah, I felt like I played pretty well," he said. "Obviously there’s still a couple plays I’d like to do better for sure. But overall I felt like I played pretty well last week."
