Probably nothing, but some food for thought at least. Can't say I've noticed Miller much at all this preseason (which isn't necessarily a bad thing).

I'm not ready to give up on Price, but there's the possibility that his foot is hampering him.  It might be better to shut him down until he's 100% then see where he's at compared to Trey.

Things will be very interesting next year if Trey wins the job.  The Bengals will have to decide on resigning Trey or rolling with Price.  Miller seems firmly entrenched at RG and by all accounts Jordan will be starting at LG before the end of the year if he doesn't win the job for week 1.  Then, Jonah will be back and they'll be searching for a spot for Glenn.

And even if Miller seems entrenched at RG, he shouldn't guarantee to hold that position if he's playing below average. I'd give Price a fair opportunity at RG if Miller struggles this season.

(08-21-2019, 12:21 PM)Whatever Wrote: Due to his draft status, you have to give Price a chance to compete somewhere, but you're potentially looking at him having to battle both Miller and Glenn for the RG job next year.  I wouldn't like his chances.

Hopefully, he turns it around and solidifies his spot this year.

Glenn is a good pass protector but a soft run blocker. Better to keep him at LT if we keep him.

That is until Jonah gets back. We will see what happens then.

Saw Price making great blocks and adjusting out there against the Skins.

Price will grow but if the foot is bothering him i am with you and we should rest him until the opener.

(08-21-2019, 02:08 PM)XenoMorph Wrote: Yeah but it seems like we are gonna find a quality LG out of Jerry Jordan Hopkins.       So playing a LG 10+ mil next year wouldn't be a need..

(that is of course assuming Williams its healthy and ready to go next season)  or course he could possibly be used elsewhere if needed.

(08-21-2019, 02:21 PM)ochocincos Wrote: It's possible to see some great blocks but still be ranked lower because of some of the other things we don't see. PFF isn't perfect but they are watching each individual player on every snap much more closely than we do.

Right now, Price has high peaks mixed with low valleys whereas Hopkins is just consistent.

More than likely. We cut him. Save the dough.

Not even sure about that as Hart is a more willing and better run blocker.
