On the season, PFF has tagged him with 4 sacks, 8 hits, and 15 hurries for a total of 27 pressures.

In the past 4 games (CAR, PIT, TEN, KC), PFF has tagged him with 1 sack, 2 hits, and 3 hurries for a total of 6 pressures.
That's an improvement given Volson's first 4 games he had 3 sacks, 4 hits, and 6 hurries for a total of 13 pressures.

Volson does seem to be (a lot) better compared to earlier in the season, but he's not quite a stone wall yet.
It's probably not a coincidence that Jonah Williams has also been performing better as of the past few games.

The Bengals OL is finally gelling, and it's coming at a good time given the more difficult schedule.
And Volson doesn't have to become an elite or even above average guard.
If he just continues to play solid and keep the pressures low, that's good enough for me.
