I don't think you are wrong about that. The game has just passed him by.

How about your opinion of Pollack?  Can he still walk on water and cure the sick?

Yeah i thought once they had an injury to that polished O-line we would see a big difference and it would show, big time.

And it is.

Too early to say about Pollack, been impressed at times but i thought Redmond had some tools to work with with his size,
strength and ability to move. Have not been impressed with what Pollack has done with Redmond. Maybe Redmond just
isn't smart enough but i heard he was smart too in some of Hobspin's puff pieces.

True, it would be awesome to get something for him, just don't know if we should trade away our best player from our
weakest position group at this time. But who knows, maybe Vigil is our best LB'er right now, never thought i would say
that.

Malik Jefferson has tons of upside. We need more speed, better coverage and better tackling out of our LB's.

I was impressed with how they moved him all over the place as a rookie and played that well.

Hard to do. That heart problem seems to have destroyed his game.

Meanwhile, we're still waiting for either to contribute anything of quality and we're in Year 4. If they do ever become solid OTs (which I doubt), it's not going to be with the Bengals.

Dinosaur with stubborness, not good bedfellows.
