Billy Price making things difficult

[Fan_in_Kettering]

Billy Price and the offensive line are doing way better in pass protection so far in preseason but their run blocking is still horrendous; the tackles are still getting eaten alive on run plays to the outside. However, the run blocking is better than anything we’ve seen since 2018 so at least there’s improvement. Frank Pollack has a few years of Jim Turner stank to un-coach and I’m surprised the line has responded so positively.

Okay, back to Billy Price. Let’s not forget he was Frank Pollack’s first round draft choice in 2018 and let’s also not forget the Bengals started 4–1 that year before Price was injured. Billy was playing well under Pollack’s tutelage and it’s no surprise he’s playing well again. Billy may be trade bait, he may become a solid backup center, he may play guard, or it’s not out of the question he may win the starting center job.

Jim Turner coached players down and Frank Pollock coaches players up.
