Zac said he is considering bring Redmond up from PS to start. The decision will be made on Wednesday. XSF will be out at least 2 more weeks

At least they're trying something. Still wish they'd try harder. The RG is not the only position on the OL that needs fixing.

I can't tell if that's a threat or solution. What are we doing at RT?

It's hard to picture him being any worse. And I can't believe I'm even saying that and thinking Redmond could be any kind of solution.

In 2018 Redmond had a 57 PFF grade, this year Price is 38.8 Johnson is 48.8 and even Michael Jordan is 54.3. As sad as it is to say, if we got 2018 Alex Redmond we would be getting an upgrade at any guard position we have currently.

and yet it was G Keaton Sutherland who was just called up. Of course this move could still happen, we will have to see

I think we will protect/promote him for a trial of 2 games or so and if it doesn't work, we don't need to give up a roster spot.
That's how I see it.

Redmond would still be better than Price and Johnson at RG.
Back when he was the primary starter in 2018, he was at least decent at run blocking. His pass blocking and penalties were frustrating, but not as bad as what the Bengals are currently rolling with.
Let Redmond start and then be primary backup behind XSF once XSF returns.
Don't allow Johnson to play any interior OL spot.
Only allow Price to back up C.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
Sorry for Party Rocking!

Ugh sad but I’ll take it lol. Besides the steroids ,numerous penalties and the fact that Redmond isn’t good he’s still better than Price and Johnson. There’s no quick fix to this line. We need to find guys in the draft and free agency next season so we don’t have to ever bring back Alex Redmond or start Bobby Hart.

You could probably pry away Z from the giants. How funny would that be? Pass him off for not being worth what he wanted, and still end up paying him 10+ a year.
I'm sure there's some other ~30 year old guards we can overpay for this year and maybe next to bridge a gap. Even though they hold draft pick near and dear to their heart, they have to supplement that position with some more talent. Use a third or lower and add some rotational pieces as needed per team. There's gotta be a way to find at least average at a guard spot. Got to.

Smith opted out for this season. Jerry is still on the street

Question is, is he still the same guy after he's had to come off the 'roids?

Leave it to this organization to redefine stupid.
Trying to upgrade a position is not bringing back a player that you cut a month ago.
And worse yet no other team even kicked the tires on him.when he was available.
Yet our brillant front office and coaches feel he can improve a position that over
The last 2 years is among the NFLs worst when you rank the teams.
Again this franchise refuses to go outside of its comfort zone.

I wonder what Larry Warford is up to? Never mind, I just read where he opted out of the season.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

I was actually being facetious. I don’t want either of those two any more than I want Redmond.
