Though, by now, his body has gotten used to sitting the bench. It will be an adjustment to get his metabolic energy systems conditioned to playing regularly again. This could also lead to a drop-off in level of play as the season wears on, or leave him susceptible to injury as well. If he should win the starting Guard role, Bengals would be wise to have an equally capable backup in waiting.
Now, at face value, what I just wrote in the previous paragraph might sound a bit negative, but it's not intended that way. When I made the statement about garbage players, I was pretty specific to say "on paper", meaning that they haven't actually proven much in NFL action. I never singled out any particular player, in any attempt to defame them. Sure, it's the cold, hard truth. The truth isn't always rosy and sweet.
Westerman also just had food poisoning from what i just heard and has lost 12 pounds.
Redmond i think could have a good run at RG and he is a mauler with great size and namely strength.
