Or if Moses performs better than Spain and Reif is better fit at LG then Moses starts at RT. If Moses and Reif are best then Jonah competes at LG with Spain. One injury does not hurt team as first guy off the bench is decent. Bengals are thin to start with --one injury means we are using the same guys that stuggled last year --see Johnson, Fred. Salaries are dropping and players wanna play --so pick up a vet and create competition
Turner had a lot of competition for spots and shuffling of the deck on the OL. It didn't work out very well. Continuity and getting comfortable with the guys next to you is very important, and it's something we've lacked the last couple of years.
The whole thing seems weird to me. Adeniji wasn't even listed as a T. WFT is prepped to roll with a rookie 2nd rounder in Cosmi at RT after releasing Moses and we're freaking out about a rookie 2nd rounder and 4th rounder as backups behind a quality veteran starter.
