Volson's debut

[Sled21]

Talk about being thrown into the fire, he is matched up in his first game against Cam Heyward and Larry Ogunjobi. While I don't want to jinx him, I think he is going to rise to the occasion and hold his line.

Outta the blue?  It's been this way for a couple weeks now.

... well you know, top draft picks used to be groomed and pampered as a Bengal before they were put out in the fire back in the day.

[Housh]

Steelers are going to pick on him and probably do all types of stunts and other BS

He’s going to have a LOOOONG day. Cam, TJ, Larry O……..going to be tough.

Fun fact.  I believe Carman's first start was Week 3 last year against the Steelers.  If you'd like to see a summary of how he played:

The Bengals gave up no sacks and won 24-10.

Another fun fact....I believe Jonah Williams' 1st career start was against Joey Bosa.    Bosa had 5 tackles and a sack.

Volson's likely going to have some gaffes.
But he's also going to have some good snaps.

[*Go Cards*]

fingers crossed that he holds his own

Big day for the Big Nasty, a great experience.

He's not a top draft pick.... Just happened to beat out the guy who was. Now we're counting on a fourth rounder outta a small school at LG.

Let's hope he's up to the task.

So is the Max guy just not up to speed yet? I think I’d feel better with him in there.

I know we got an elite QB and elite WRs but id like to see us really establish the running game early and get these DL on their heels a bit. Will help get our new OL settled in a bit.

Scharping is most likely the insurance policy if Volson completely falls on his face.

I liked this quote from Jonah the other day from a homepage article.
"I like how well we work together. We come out with a certain brand of toughness and unity. Our goal as an offensive line is to go make the defense feel bad."

We've heard a lot of talk about glass eaters and body guards. I think we are trotting out 5 starting OL ready to kick some ass.

Small schools mean nothing. You know who else came out of a small school? Kenny Anderson. He may not have played against the top collegiate talent at a small school, but he either has it or he doesn't. With his size, strength and mean streak, I hope he becomes a dominate guard.

They do mean something. They aren't a reason to completely dismiss a guy, but most small school players don't land starting spots in the NFL for a reason. They're subpar athletes, lack effective technique, or any other combination of reasons. For every Kenny Anderson, there are numerous Brad Sorensens and B.J. Colemans. 

The same goes with Volson. I am not very optimistic about his chances based on what I have seen so far, but I hope he proves me wrong.
