The idea that Jonah isn't good enough to play T is just ridiculous. He has done very well for a guy playing his first season. His run blocking leaves some to be desired, but his pass-blocking overall has been impressive. Being a young T, he is going to get beat. It is simply going to happen. Look at some of the young tackles around the league...
Stats coming from PFF.
Jonah Williams - 595 snaps played, three sacks allowed, two penalties
Andrew Thomas #4 OA pick in 2020 draft - 695 snaps played, six sacks allowed, two penalties
Tytus Howard #23 OA pick in 2019 draft - 662 snaps played, two sacks allowed, 10 penalties
Jawaan Taylor - 717 snaps played, six sacks allowed, four penalties
Mekhi Becton - 404 snaps played, three sacks allowed, four penalties
Jedrick Wills - 680 snaps played, four sacks allowed, six penalties
Jonah is playing just fine, but he obviously needs to continue developing (especially in the run game). If the Bengals do pick #3, in my mind the pick has to be Sewell. I think he has the potential to be the next Andrew Whitworth for this Joe Burrow era. If that happens, then Jonah being kicked inside or even over to RT is going to happen. However, to say that he needs to go inside because he isn't playing well enough is silly.
