I see al the statements on Price having short arms.
But when I watched him, his reaction time seemed to be incredibly slow. Defenders just blowing by him.
I not an expert but he looks like one of the worse lineman we have ever had and that is saying something.
The center we all dumped on who went to the Bills seemed to me to be a better than Price- and my memory of him was him getting picked up and literally thrown into Andy's face by the bigger nose tackles.
I don't know how they could miss so badly on Price and the two tackles we took in the same year. Truly three major setbacks.
Price has said in interviews that OSU runs a simple offense and he's had trouble learning the Bengals offense. Guys who aren't sure of their assignments tend to play tentatively and look slow on the field.
He had a lot of other issues coming out of college. His technique is absolutely atrocious and scouts were concerned about fixing it due to his bad habits being ingrained in his muscle memory for too long. He's also apparently a difficult personality to deal with, so there were concerns about how coachable he is.
He had great power in college, but that's basically it. To use a baseball term, he's a one tool player. Now he's in the NFL against guys with years in NFL weight rooms and he can't just overpower guys anymore.
