Adeniji and Spain did decent given one is a rookie 6th round pick and the other is used to playing OG.

They had ability to play Price and/or Finney instead of Redmond/Jordan, but they chose to stick with Redmond and Jordan anyway.
When I mention Price, I don't mean put him at OG. I would have put Price at C and move Hopkins to LG or RG.

How long is it going to take before the Bengals realize that Redmond and Jordan just are not good and shouldn't be starting?
Do you think they replace one or both of them once Williams, XSF, and/or Hart are back?

The numbers for Spain here might cast him aside in some folk's mind, but remember, he played tackle against pitt.  And I don't think he has ever done that before.  He was really good at guard coming in as he did, and many of the Bengals (players and coaches) have commented about his energy.  I think he might be the best solution at RG or LG.

I am not so sure about XSF.  Aside from having an easy abbreviation name, like ADG, he has only played a part of one game.  That being said, Jordan, Redmond, Price, and Finney are kind of all the same, below average, temporary solution.  Quickness seems to destroy all of them (although I don't really know about Finney).

The tackle position is a little clearer:  Hart was finally playing solid ball before the injury.  We will see if that trend continues down the stretch.  Adeniji has been a real find.  Not many rookies, especially 6th rounders, came in and played well at OT off the bench as he has done.  If Hart falters, you have Adeniji as the potential RT of the future.  Jonah is our LT.  He has done all this in what is essentially his rookie season and with different players next to him all the time. 

The one thing we need for certain is a bully at OG that still has the quicks to be a good pass blocker but can anchor and pull in the running game.
