Boling- Westerman- Price- Redmond- Glenn
Redmond is one of the strongest, if not the strongest, guys on the team. His run blocking suits RG very well and he is going to be a mauler. Run right all day long, pass whenever you want. Boling might be very underestimated as a LT as he does have really good mobility, and is more finesse than mauler. Westerman is not as quick, but has that nasty, road-grader mentality.
Either way, it should be fun to watch the offensive line shake out. It is common that teams go from bad to really good in one season in the NFL. The offensive line of the Bengals is going to be a much different group from last year, and that is a good thing.
I'd be all for this. I think we get the 5 best linemen on the field, Boling has demonstrated his ability at LT, and the right side of the line would be all power. Hope they give it a look.
My fear is that they'll be so intent on working Og or Fish in at the RT position that they won't entertain the thought till it's too late to get them acclimated.
