- He doesn't seem to get pushed back very often. Solid anchor.
- He looked like the best OL out there for the Bengals (the other depth OL are terrible though).
- His lack of athleticism has been apparent at times. Not very good at blocking into the second level.
- He still has more to learn when it comes to block assignments. Had some clear mental errors, which resulted in big pressures/sacks.
I did not watch every single snap, and I didn't stop and rewind to look at things closely, but I was focusing specifically on him for about every offensive snap I did watch, which was over 3 quarters worth.
I can see him starting at LG if the Bengals don't bring anyone else in, and I can see him doing some good things, but I really do see him being a below average starter for a while.
Personally, this game solidified my desire to get a veteran to hold down the LG spot while Volson continues development.
Cool, I liked what I saw of Volson myself but Trey Hill specifically made a huge jump from the first Preseason game IMO.
Good news. Also Adeniji wasn't near as terrible this game.
