I don't disagree with you. Heck, just looking at the science of it; He's high risk on the values of not only being a Black man (last I read Black folks contracted Covid 19 at about 3.5x the rate of White folk), but also being very large with the inherent health risks associated with being a very large human being.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

Not to derail the thread, but you can find all of that info on the CDC website. You have to google search it just right though, as they don't like folks to know the racial breakdowns. It might sound bad for Black folk, but the numbers are even worse for Latino and Native American peoples.
But, as for Warford, even though he is technically eligible to opt back in, I would be surprised if he did.

They’d rather just shuffle through the Redmond/Calhoun/Sutherland deck then put Adeniji in.

We’re either gonna ride this out all year and pray Burrow doesn’t get killed or make a trade for some real help. I don’t see us making a trade for a starting caliber right guard/tackle. So break out your rosary beads boys.

Pick up Justin Britt off the street to play RT, start Adeniji at RG...
This would help.

He’s technically played C, OG and RT. In college he was a tackle too, but I don’t recall if it was LT or RT. His problem is he’s tall and plays too upright, which is not ideal for the interior.

Indeed; he was drafted as a T, played RT with the Seahawks, was putrid, moved to G, still not stellar, then to C where he's played since and he's not great.
Not a fan.

I'd take Kenny Britt to play RG.

This is just a hunch, but maybe they don't want to throw him out there and ruin his confidence, because he is a rookie that they value for his long term potential?

I usually flame dudes for saying we will get our QB killed cause of a bad OL cause the NFL protects QB's...
But we need to protect Burrow at all costs, dude is getting hit like crazy man.

I get it, we all get it that Burrow is getting thrown to the wolves. It's the management's fault for not making sure that there would be adequate protection for a rookie QB. It's our coaches fault for not having the guys provided to him, properly prepared to do the job presented to them. There is an old saying that says "You go to war with the army you have, not the army you want".
Short of Jonah Williams, every man on that OL that has been rolled out there this season has prior NFL experience, they're all physical "beasts" of men, they know what the battle conditions are all about. I hold the coaching staff completely responsible for not having the guys prepared for battle. However, I cannot fault them for not throwing a rookie, late round draft selection out there to get ruined. Maybe, as some time goes by, Adeniji gets some reps to get his feet wet. If he shows promise, maybe then, later in the season you give him more extensive duty.

Always been a fan of the Scarlet Knights! My first teacher in my grad certificate program (super attracted to her lol) was friends with a girl who dated Brian Leonard AND she knew Ray Rice as well

Not Britt lol.
Don't forget; Hart has been bad, but RG is the position that needs to be solidified, more than Hart.

Honestly, Adeniji has lost a bit of shine since the season started because Jim Turner and Zac Taylor both said he was the best offensive lineman at the Senior Bowl and they were ready to draft him for several rounds before actually taking him.
Based on their evaluations of Michael Jordan, the back up right guards and Bobby Hart, I'm now convinced Adeniji is pure and utter trash.

1. I confess, I have no idea who Britt is.
2. I was going on the premise that he has to be better than Bobby Hart...
