I don't see how we could have an O-line where none of the starters have ever played together and one of them can not even practice.
Plus, if his knees are that bad I doubt he makes it through 21 games.
LOL there are healthy guys that can't make it thru 21 games. You sign if the price is right, it's all a gamble, Eyes on the prize?? Even if he misses a few games, you've brought Carman/Volson time to develop so they aren't immediate liabilities. You know, healthy back and don't want a Rookie starting immediately.

Tretter could get away without practicing in Cleveland because they did not have an O-line with 5 different starters who had never taken a snap with each other. I don't see how we could get all these new guys working together if one of them can't even practice.
If He was signed, then all starters on the OL would become mult-year Vets, wouldn't take them long at all to gel.
But i guess you're the expert on this right??
It's not up to us though, it's up to what the Bengals think gives them the best chances to win.
