That is a very good question. I understand Jax D hasnt got a bunch of sacks this season, but they have also not allowed a 100 yard rusher even when facing Derrick Henry. Redmond helped get Mixon going and there was a way better pocket for Burrow today. Big difference. kind of makes Turner look like an idiot though, imo.

Ah that’s right. PED’s. They clearly worked. Lol

Let’s slow our roll a bit here. Jags Dline has been one of the worst this season.

I made it a point to watch Alex Redmond today and I believe he made Bobby Hart play better.

The Jags blow , Redmond will probably play below average all year and that will be enough for the Bengals to not sign any free agent guards would be my nightmare. A Hart and Redmond combine to start 2021.

Can we just be happy for an hour? One stinking hour? Is that asking too much?

They had not allowed 100 yds on the ground before today.

I am very happy. Just pointing out that one good game by Redmond does not mean these Oline issues are resolved one bit.

It would appear our allotted time for feeling good about anything is right around 45 minutes.

And that might be generous with our fans

Thank you for a much needed dose of realism. Now if the Bengals can run against the Ravens then I think the offensive line might be for real.

He still had a few problems, but he played much better than I expected considering this was his first game action since last year. Appears to have at least stopped the bleeding. Now he just needs to stay healthy.
Still had 1 penalty, 1 QB hit and 1 QB hurry that I saw. Also, 1 whiff on a run block.

Zero Penalties. The Refs called his number but the replay showed it was Michael Jordan.

He horse collared a guy and was flagged for it. Didn't bring him to the ground but it was pretty apparent
It was a good effort. He impressed the hell out of me for his first action in a long while

How did this coaching staff come to the conclusion that Fred Johnson and Billy Price were worthy of PT ahead of Redmond?
I'm not saying Redmond is great, or he's the answer to all of our problems. But he's clearly better than Fred Johnson.

I think Redmond was suspended for the first few weeks because of PED’s. So maybe he wasn’t getting the reps in camp?

He started TC on the NFI list and couldn't even pass his physical until August 31. Hard to evaluate a guy that isn't able to practice.

Seriously, I just hope that he has a huge chip on his shoulder and takes it out on Jag defenders.
Man, am I so glad that he did show up with a chip on his shoulder..
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

I mean, he's been on the team for years, and has seen starts. He played under this staff last season. In fact, they rewarded him with a 2 mil dollar deal in the offseason.
I think they should have a great enough handle on the situation to be able know, even without training camp, that's he's more capable than Fred Johnson.

Was he threatening him and his family if he didn't perform better? Like the knife to the throat type of thing?
