of faith in the guy coaching up a replacement for Zeitler, problem is who has faith in PA coaching up Westerman?

I really liked the Westerman pick but in order for him to replace Zeitler he would need to be coached up.

Zeitler is not a great Guard or anything but he is solid most of the time.

The two threads had aligned perfectly one on top of the other.  It read:

Letting Zeitler Walk Is A Huge Mistake

What We Can Learn From New England

They traded who was arguable the best guard in the game at that time as he was wanting a big FA deal, and they went with a draft pick.  They win championships, so they are afforded that "equity" to make such decisions.  Thus far, it seems to have worked.  They didn't pay top dollar to the BEST guard, so why should the Bengals pay top dollar to a guy that is, at best, a solid RG?

The Bengals can't let Dre walk, thanks to WJIII not getting any evaluation last year and Adam Jones being an idiot.  Dre better be careful, however, with all his tweets...that is not going to ingratiate himself to Katie and Troy in negotiations and he could wind up not being resigned if they can get a similar deal signed by one of the many FA CBs on the market.
