Billy Price update

As for the problems at NT and LB, they go hand in hand.  A good NT allows the LBs to roam free and play downhill, by consuming two blockers.  When that isn't happening, any weaknesses at LB are exacerbated by them constantly having a Guard or Center in their face.

With respect to Center and Price, I think as the weather slowly turns the rushing attack will become a more integral part of the attack.  We have away games at Cleveland, pitt, and Balt late in the year as well.  I think getting Price back and having Redmond and Hart's ability to drive block will be a big factor.

I wish there was a veteran FA like when we got the incredibly out of shape, yet still effective, Sam Adams that the Bengals could plug in at NT.  I bet a lot of folks won't admit that we miss Peko.  To be fair, I think Peko really stepped up his work when he was no re-signed.  

I can't figure out Billings.  One minute he looks like a world beater and another he just gets washed out...
