I mentioned awhile back that Iowa runs the ball over 55% of the time and a lot of their passes are screens or play action from under center.  Can he handle the sheer volume of true pass sets he will have in Zac's offense?

Another issue that people are overlooking is the Bengals moving Karras can lead to a number of issues.  Karras obviously believes his best position and his best chance to maximize his value for his next contract is at C.  The Bengals have said he's the starting C.  Now, you want to move him to LG and have him compete with a 2nd round pick you have high hopes for.  Easy to see there being an immediate disconnect between the player/agent and the coaches/FO when literally the first promise you made him was bullshit.  

Similar to what we saw with Billy Price a few years ago.  He was fantastic when not covered by a huge interior OL, and could get out and lay a block on defenders in space.  In close quarters, he didn't have the arm length to keep bigger defenders from getting their hands on him.
