What year is this? Get some new material.
RE: Adeniji on his opportunity - Joelist - 12-27-2022
Let's remember our only long term exposure to Adeniji had him not only playing out of position but fresh off an injury and also his only full season was the last one with Turner - and as we saw it takes time to unlearn the crap Turner "taught".

Adeniji seems like such a great kid with an awesome attitude. I pray he does well.
But my goodness, I am worried. My grandpa always said you can’t turn a mule into Secretariat.
Not saying Hakeem is a mule but he was a 6th round pick for a reason.
But, then again, Carman was a “2nd rounder” so the round taken doesn’t always mean much. Lol

Yeah, and Volson was a 4th round pick and is playing like maybe the top OL in his entire class as a rookie.
Plus, Adeniji has great experience and mentors.

Mike Piazza was drafted in the 62nd round(only reason he was taken then was because Lasorda was his godfather).
427 HRS
HALL OF FAME

Pray all ya want. It comes down to drive and execution. Think this interview is a good indicator of the former, let’s see him produce on the later

I hope Pollock gets at least a 4th round pick every year to get another glass eater in here for depth and fight for a starting spot.
Till we are solid at depth.
RE: Adeniji on his opportunity - Sled21 - 12-28-2022
Big Willie called Adeniji a natural born tackle. With extended playing time, we might just all be surprised at how good he is. (or maybe not)
RE: Adeniji on his opportunity - Garrus - 12-28-2022
I am hoping he will do okay. LC wasn't exactly the best pass blocker so as long as he isn't atrocious it shouldn't be that big of a drop-off. That said the run game may suffer now as LC was our best run blocker.

Yep, Brady in the sixth, and Akili Smith 1st overall....yikes.
RE: Adeniji on his opportunity - Speedy Thomas - 12-28-2022
This is a great film breakdown and commentary on what Adeniji provides.
Bottom line, not much fall-off from LC in pass pro, if any. Better lateral movement, but made some mistakes maybe due to inexperience, which are fixable. Run blocking: Hakeem is a different style of run blocker. Not as powerful as Collins, but more mobile. For example, he can pull all the way across to lead a counter left. Never could do that with La'El.
Having seen this, I am cautiously optimistic that he will be OK. We will find out for sure Monday night.

RE: Adeniji on his opportunity - ochocincos - 12-28-2022
Adeniji showed last year he can't hang at OG, but I always thought he was a better fit at OT.
I guess we'll see how he does the rest of the season.
RE: Adeniji on his opportunity - Go Cards - 12-28-2022
Hope he excels during this opportunity but will be happy if he can just hold down the fort until after the SB.

The coaching staff has had a long week off to prepare for this transition at RT, I feel comfortable that they will have a plan in place to maximize Adeniji's strengths and mitigate his weaknesses. For example, I'd like to see Prince lined up outside of Adeniji in the "big" sets; They could have Prince block down, while Adeniji flows ahead of the play like a lead blocker.

I think they have something to work with. He brings different strengths and weaknesses to the table, but certainly serviceable. The kid can move!

No, that was Tim Couch.
Akili was 3rd overall.

Yes.
I have much confidence in Pollack/Callahan/Zac to maximize what he does well and cover for what he doesn't.

Considering the Bengals are 28th in the NFL at 3.9 YPC I doubt he will be much of a downgrade.
