What the hell happened to Billy? - Bengalholic - 10-28-2019
Billy Price had a PFF grade of 22 yesterday, and a pass blocking grade of 1.6.

1.6. On a 0-100 scale.
This guy was a first round pick.
I had such high hopes for him, but he seems to regress a little more each time he takes the field.
RE: What the hell has happened to Billy? - THE PISTONS - 10-28-2019
Yeah...he puts up some of the lowest grades I've ever seen.
Honestly...I think it's time to cut bait on him after this year.
He's actually a worse Guard than Center.
RE: What the hell happened to Billy? - psychdoctor - 10-28-2019
I would try him at center again but here is looking like a bust.

Hopkins is a quality starting Center. He's a priority to retain.

I'm not ready to give up on him just yet, but damn, he has to start showing some kind of consistent improvement soon. If not, it will become a wasted 1st round pick...one that I was stoked about at the time.

What's happened to him? NFL players are finding ways to exploit his limitations, which we knew he had when he was drafted. And he hasn't been able to or never will be able to overcome (some of) them.

Obligatory "**** you, Detroit" post.

He is a quality center but he gets no push-up to line scrimmage. I would just try Billy at center to see if he still has it he wasn't all that great of center either but he wasn't this bad.
RE: What the hell happened to Billy? - Fullrock - 10-28-2019
A 1.6 pass blocking grade? Good lord, can't you just stand in front of someone and score better than that? That's like posting a single digit on the ACT test.

Well...on the bright side, MJ has been worse so they'll keep trotting Price out there. But, he needs replaced.
Interesting, Jerry has been decent at Tackle. IF Glenn comes back, play Glenn at LT and Jerry at Guard.
RE: What the hell happened to Billy? - CoCoNuT - 10-28-2019
I really wonder which is more the case... are we picking extremely poorly or our line coaches have been that bad.

Good point about the limitations, but a guy like Hopkins has limitations as well. The difference is that Hopkins has worked / found ways to deal with them and turn himself into a decent player at this level. Unfortunately, at least to this point, Price has not.

Turner??
RE: What the hell happened to Billy? - Atomic Orange - 10-28-2019
Can he play fullback
RE: What the hell happened to Billy? - RunKijanaRun - 10-28-2019
Maybe it’s time to stop drafting Buckeyes.
Price was a shitty pick in a long, long line of them.

True, but Hopkins is in his 6th year as a pro. Price is in his 2nd.
It makes sense to keep Price as a backup through his 4th year and hope he blossoms into something by then, but he's not worthy of starting right now. Unfortunately, the Bengals don't have a better option at OG, as Michael Jordan is just as bad (or worse).
RE: What the hell happened to Billy? - Big Boss - 10-28-2019
Cedric Ogbuehi - Round 1
Jake Fisher - Round 2
Billy Price - Round 1
Yeesh. Not a good string of luck with offensive linemen at the top of the board in recent drafts. And the jury's still out on Jonah Williams.

They have produced some good WRs, RBs, and defensive players in recent drafts.
OL, QB, and TE have been terrible when it comes to NFL.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>There's been 155 offensive linemen that have played 50% of the snaps this year. Billy Price is graded as the 155th best by PFF.
