Cordell volston??
#20
I have seen some people claim that lots of teams develop 4th round picks to start on their o-line, but that just is not true. So I was very impressed when we had a 4th rounder not only start, but start as a rookie. Even more incredible when you consider that he came from a FCS school. And it is funny that you spell his name "Volston" because my friends claimed I like Cordell because my last name is "Ghulston". For whatever reason I became big fan of Volson. But even I can see that he is not a high level performer.

I think O-line is the hardest position for fans to judge because we don't always know what their assignment was. Also QBs who hold onto the ball longer to try and make a play rack up high sack numbers (Roethlisberger, Russell Wilson, Burrow). But right now our O-line is clearly struggling. Our "pressure rate" is low, but that is just because we throw so many quick short passes. Bengals are dead last in the league in "air yards per attempt". And teams are not having to blitz a lot to get pressure. Bengals are 5th in the league in pass attempts, but 27th in blitzes faced. And our run blocking is not any better. Bengals are 21st in "yards before contact" on running plays.

So even though Cordell is one of my favorites, I am fine with replacing him.
