Given how Volson has played now halfway through his 3rd year and 26 years old, he's probably at or close to what he's going to be in terms of ceiling. At least for the Bengals in the current scheme.
If the Bengals end up out of the playoffs in a few weeks, I'd love to try Matt Lee at C and shift Karras to LG for the remainder of the season.
Karras is still under contract next season, so what if Lee at C + Karras at LG ends up being an upgrade overall going into next season?
That's my take as well. You hear people saying RG and LG upgrade for next season. I'm not so sure C isn't in there as well?
If Lee can be a starter at C, big if still. Perhaps Karras can play LG next season? But we still need a new and better RG and depth. And I'm not totally sold on going with Karras for sure as starting LG.
Or in other words we need a lot of help with IOL next season. And that's just for starters.
