Time to give some props to Frank Pollack

RG and RT are better now than they were when Adeniji and Prince were starting there last year.

I dunno if Karras is better than Hopkins was in pass protection toward the end of last season once he fully recovered from his Dec 2020 injury, but he's definitely better in the run game.

It's the left side you could argue is somewhat worse than last year though.
Jonah hasn't been the same guy he was last year, and Volson looks to be (somewhat) worse than Spain, at least up to this point.
In 494 pass block snaps this year, Volson has allowed 27 total pressures, including 4 sacks and 8 hits.
In 611 pass block snaps last year, Spain had allowed 23 total pressures, including 5 sacks and 3 hits.

With all that said, Volson is not a complete liability like Adeniji and Prince were last year.
He's shown enough to likely give the coaches confidence and stick as the starting LG for next year.
Jonah's 5th year option was already picked up, so he's likely going to start next year too.
If the Bengals are going to draft any new OL early next year, I would expect it to be an OT. That OT can be the swing OT for a year or two, and potentially take over as a starter if/when Jonah departs in 2024 or for Collins in 2025.

Right now, let's hope the Titans game is a sign of things to come and not an outlier.
Bengals can really go on a run if the OL can keep the pressures down in this tough remaining stretch.
