The only reason Jonah's overall PFF score was high in 2021 was the slanting run blocking score and lets face it a huge part of that was because Quinton Spain was so very good at zone combo blocks. Even if you don't believe that part which is definitely true the Bengals have changed their rush scheme going forward from the wide zone in 2021. Do you really see Jonah Williams as a gap/power tackle? I know he might be the RT but damn that is not the scheme/position I would have drafted him to play in. 

It's no secret that Jim Turner drafted guys who were more athletic than power to run his zone scheme.
Jonah Williams
Michael Jordan
Hakeem Adeniji

John Miller added in 2019 offseason but let go after 1 year because coaches didn't think he was good enough fit after all.
Spain was added midway through 2020 because Redmond was trash, but Spain performed worse under Turner in 2020 than he did under Pollack in 2021.


Pollack, while saying he wanted to run wide zone initially, has morphed the OL from a majority wide zone style to more of a gap/power style. And he's gotten more mauler-style guys on the OL to do it. Volson, Karras, Cappa, Collins, and now Brown all fit that mold.
Jonah and Adeniji are the last remnants of Jim Turner, and they will be gone after this season, if not before.
