He was def trending up. The only thing that gives me pause is, in the Bengals first 4 games this past season, Volson was good in 3 of them and people started getting giddy until he came crashing right back down.
The one..well, two positives. 1. The injury may have saved some team some money since he didn't get a full season of his early production and 2. His "bad" games are actually pretty average, whereas Volson's bad games are terribad.
You don't really wanna see your Oline guys give up more than 2 pressures per game with a few 3 pressure games lightly sprinkled in and you want them to stay away from the 4+ pressures completely. In 2023, Fries had 3 games with 3 pressures and 2 games with 4 pressures, while Volson had 3 games with 3 pressures, 2 games with 4 pressures and 2 games with 5 pressures. This past season he had 1 game with 3 pressures, 1 game with 4 pressures, 2 games with 5 pressures, 1 game with 6 and 1 game with 7.
That's bad to the nth power.
