I still can't figure out why they haven't brought him back ? Considering our other ummmm backups.
Spain's PFF grade was around 25 for the Super Bowl and 46 for the entire playoffs. That is horrible He got beat like a drum when it mattered most and he had to play against better defenses. He was a large part of the Super Bowl loss. If the Bengals make it back to the playoffs, is this a guy you think we can count on? You want the same talent on the Oline that lost the Super Bowl?
If you bring Spain back at LG and you have Williams at LT and you have Karras at center who posted a PFF very close to Hopkins at center when Karras played center, you would have about the same level of talent at those positions as you did last year. Thats not going to cut it. You cant go out there with the same level of play at LT, LG and Center and think the line doesnt need more work. I think the Bengals need to move Karras to guard where he played much better than at center and bring in better talent at center like Tretter. That would make the line much better. Having Karras at center and bringing back Spain is a much worse scenario.
