He definitely still has some inconsistencies, but he also shows reps sometimes that are good.
I do think he would be performing better if Jonah was doing better next to him, and vice versa.

Part of me does wonder if Max Scharping would be (a bit) better option though at least this season.
Comparing Scharping's 2021 to Volson 2022...

Scharping 2021 w/ HOU:
offensive snaps - 689
sacks allowed - 2
hits allowed - 4
total pressures allowed - 19
penalties - 3

Volson 2022:
offensive snaps - 682
sacks allowed - 4
hits allowed - 8
total pressures allowed - 23
penalties - 4

With all that said, I do fully expect Volson to continue in the starter role and do expect him to continue improving. I would have Scharping on standby though if Volson happens to struggle for a good chunk later this year for any reason, especially if the Bengals do get to the playoffs.

Is that really an Apples to Apples comparison?  You're using stats from Scharping's 3rd season as a pro versus Volson's raw rookie numbers.
