He also wasn’t going to be able to participate in OTAs due to recovery from injury. This was all known before he set foot into PBS. If the Bengals really wanted a C who would hit the ground running, they should have found a way to get Ragnow, but that’s in the past. We just have to hope the snap issues get figured out over the next 5 weeks.

I did not know this! So we picked a 1st round draft pick, who has only played 1 season at center and on top of that, snapped EXCLUSIVELY out of the shotgun and expect him to be our starter and anchor of the offense?
What kind of rationale is this? More like wishful thinking? :paul: :paul: :paul: :paul:
Can we do an even trade with Detroit for Ragnow by next week??
We can add Detroit to our buddy list like Buffalo. :andy: :andy: :andy: :andy:
Personally wouldn't mind Price moving to RG and Westerman playing C. Also would like to know if Hopkins could play RT full time. I think that would be our best line personally.

Ragnow could be the most solid, but the Lions just put him at Guard and just heard Ryan Glasgow's bro is the starting
Center so i guess that is why they put him at Guard. Still like Price tons and am very happy with the pick. I believe there
was no other way to go, we made the right choice. We will just have to see how it pans out.
But the upside of Billy Price is the biggest i have seen out of a college Center....
Smart, insanely strong in the run game with a great anchor and great feet. It will just take time, Ragnow would be just
solid right off the bat and that is why i wanted him over Price for us right now.
Way too late for this to happen.
Plus Hopkins is no RT, he is a Guard and not that great of one, he is not better than Redmond or Westerman.
I've heard many linemen and coaches talking about how a lot of college linemen coming to the pros are not ready for the pro game. I think it's a little early to hit the panic button on Price, to say the least.

I know it is hard for us though, me included, i pray for it everyday...
Oh I think so to ! And I'm not saying he's a long term project, not at all. But to go from college to the pros and in just a couple weeks to have it 100% nailed it is expecting a little much. It's like going from T-ball to facing live pitching, it takes some reps.
Price will be just fine come regular season I do believe. And if not he can play guard and transition to C down the road.

Here is top hoping it doesn't last long, but I'm gonna take it lightly until its happening in games. Then I'm all for cryptic pissy tweets!
I'm down with a moratorium on Cryptic Pissy Tweets (now known as CPT's) until the regular season starts, but can we still have occasional crankiness and an every now and then ***** session?

Paul Dehner Jr. is also the shmuck who, along with Mo Egger, mocked Bengals fans for talking about how bad the Oline and Offense was at the beginning of the 2016 season. Guy knows no more about football then my shoes.

I don't understand how you can say Westerman or Redmond are better than Hopkins when they have played only what 2 games .Also Hopkins improved at the end of last season and one of his strengths is his versatility in playing other positions.

This could be because Glasgow doesn't really have a shot at success at any other position in the NFL other than C whereas Ragnow was expected to be a solid-to-studly NFL player at both OG and C.

I asked Jim O about Redmond playing RT and he said they wanted him 100% focused on RG for now.
