At RG is Scharping the only option we have?  Because if he has to come in, I would hate to see that happen after the way he played last year.

Yeah, Adeniji has no anchor and just gets bullied at Guard, he can make up for no anchor at OT with his athleticism. Have to keep 
him as Tackle insurance dang it all. Scharping is more of a LG than a RG but at least he can play there and showing he can play Center
has made him valuable.

RG has no depth if Cappa goes down.

He's been mangled on the right side in actual real games.

I have such a dislike for Adeniji's performance that I probably am unfairly harsh on him.
I'd almost rather just roll with however Smith performs since at least he's more of an unknown over Adeniji.
I realize that's risky though because he might actually be worse. Scary if true though.

From what I've seen and read up to this point, my OL would be...

Before Collins comes back:
LT - Brown, Carman
LG - Volson, Scharping
C - Karras, Hill (backup RG)
RG - Cappa
RT - Williams, Smith/Adeniji

Once Collins comes back, he takes the backup RT spot and bumps off Smith/Adeniji/Carman.

I'll tell ya, Bengals just can't find anyone for the right side when it comes to depth, other than Collins.
I don't feel comfortable with any of Carman, Scharping, Smith, or Adeniji playing on the right side.
We really gotta hope Cappa stays healthy this whole year. That spot has probably the worst depth among the entire OL.

Great post. I am the same way with Adeniji, I might be unfairly harsh on the guy because he has sucked so bad in the postseason.

The thing about D'Ante Smith is he flashes some good stuff once in a while and then does something bad, but at least he flashes 
some good and I would want that over a guy who just gets bullied all the time. Hence why I like Carman, if he sucks, it isn't from 
being bullied, it is in his head or it is speed that beats him.

So true on the right side, have to hope Cappa stays healthy. He is our one good guy at RG. Thank God Jonah has shown he can 
play RT or we would be in a bad spot. Ford might actually sneak onto the team because he CAN play RG, even if he doesn't play 
it well lol
