Congrats Ted.
That would be awesome. I am sure Ted would be more than fine with it. He seems to love it being a Bengal.

What i haven't seen from anyone here is his ability to step in and play guard at a high level. Not something I want to see this year as I'm guessing Trent Brown may slide into the RG spot and Lee will likely end up on the practice squad and Hill playing center which would be worse than Ford at LG. But it does give us flexibility next year if replacing one of the guards becomes a need.
Ted had better grades at LG with the Patriots than at Center. I am sure he could fill in at LG if needed and Lee grew into a decent run
blocker, the thing about Matt Lee is he was a fantastic pass protector for the Hurricanes which is why we drafted him. Hard to teach
this skillset at Center.
BTW, do we still have Ben Brown on the PS?

Yes he has and that is the hope. If so, great things are in store for this Offense.
