Ryan Jensen MIGHT be successful in a wide zone he has better athleticism than Bozeman but you are taking him out of that power/gap scheme that is earning him his 10+ mil contract and throwing him into a scheme he may or may not succeed in...


Brian Allen one of the best wide zone center in the NFL. He is young and still developing with only an season and a half under his belt. He will be about the same price as Bozeman. That is the way I would go.

That's why I find it so odd people are obsessing over Bozeman.
He's been very successful in BAL, but they are a very different style than Bengals.
Just look at Bozeman's RAS if you want to see how unathletic he is.

The Bengals need (and want) athletes. Those are the kind of players who will succeed in the wide zone.

Centers I like:
Linderbaum (yes, even with the short arms, I think his athleticism, hands, and wrestling background compensate)
Parham
Jurgens
Lindstrom

OGs I like:
Zion Johnson
Sean Rhyan
Raimann

OTs I like:
Petit-Frere
Lucas
Walker

I know some are high on Darian Kinnard because he's nasty, but he's not athletic enough for Bengals. He could be real good with a team like Ravens though.
