That does not dismiss the Price (the consensus pick across the board once we were not the clock) has not been a major disappointment SO FAR... but lets not forget he is entering only this 3rd season with some of his first 2 years missed games with injury.. there are other players that have struggled in their first 2 years and then moved the bar... no way am i giving up just yet on a player just entering his 3rd year of playing especially a lineman.
I thinks it's mutually agreed upon by most who follow the Bengals that the OL was pretty bad, last season. For Billy Price to not even be able to win a starting role with that group, I think that says a lot. I'm not rooting against him, as I was a huge proponent of drafting him. I thought he was absolutely the right choice that year. I'm still hoping that he can pull it all together, but I'm not holding my breath.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
