He was much better at C his rookie year than he's been at OG the past two years.
What do you do when Hopkins comes back? Do you bench Price? Or do you shift Hopkins to RG? Hopkins is better than Price at C, Price is not good at guard, and we did not like Hopkins at RG before.
Yes, I agree. Billy Price, when healthy, is a solid center. He's really not a guard; let's be honest about this. As for Trey Hopkins I wouldn't just hand him the job back automatically because the Cincinnati offensive line needs competition. However, we need to think about BJ Finney and Quinton Spain. As I understand it Finney can play center or guard -- either side -- and Spain is a pure guard. If I were Jim Turner I would get these guys in house as fast as possible and try every permutation of offensive line positions to arrive at the best combination. In the next few weeks we could see something like Johnson, Hopkins, Price, Spain, and Adeniji. Anything is better than what we had!
