Spain signed

They made it rain on Spain, but he's nothing more than plain.

Yeah but that's obviously only because they had exhausted all of the active OL they had. I'd imagine this week that they'll call up both Calhoun and Spain and if either Johnson or Adeniji go down then they'd kick Sutherland and/or Jordan out to OT as Sutherland has OT experience and they've talked about using Jordan at OT in injury situations.

They'd laugh till his little bulldog ass cut block them a few times. Gio is tiny, but he has no fear, if they lined him up at tackle he'd go down trying.

And honestly, it would be almost entertaining.... almost.

Do none of the Dlineman have experience on Oline? Get Hunt some reps lol. Only joking, he isn’t nimble at all.

Which was in my post a couple spots higher. I said Sutherland and Spain would be the backups, but if anything happened to them, then Sample is the emergency guy. I haven’t read anything about Calhoun being called up, but it would be a good idea to get every health Oline guy active.

McKenzie has experience at OG.

before anyone panics  It is too late in the week for another team to claim him. With all the injuries, it prevents the team from making a corresponding cut.  With the new practice squad rules Spain can still be available to play on Sunday. He gets moved to the active roster over the bye

Thank you for clarifying that! I will admit I got nervous when I read "signed to the practice squad". Best case scenario trade billy price for a bag of swedish fish and  XSF and this guy turn out to be both above average guards.. The center from Seattle I have a good feeling about.  They are trying.. That's all we ask... We are do for some good luck..

I didn't realize Johnson was shifted to RT and Adeniji put at LT. I just knew Hart went out and Adeniji went in.
It does sound like the starting OL will be as you said, with Sutherland and Calhoun as backups with Spain as the emergency.

If Price performs well, do we still trade him? He actually looked okay and graded out decently when he filled in at center last week. If he shows up in the Titans game and gets the job done, do we trade him still or hope we can develop him still?


We've been due for good luck for about 20 years lol

[masonbengals fan]

I’m happy Mr Spain join the squad and anxious to see what he brings to the table.

The way we are losing lineman on both sides of the ball, I don't see any more trades from either line unless a corresponding incoming player is part of it.  We won't be trading any lineman for draft picks.

I am rooting for Price to perform well.

Very well may be one of the worst o-lines to take the field that I can remember. 

At least we get to see what Adeniji can do, and what Fred can do at his more "natural" position. Grasping for straws here.

Price did well last week - I am rooting for him to make it two in a row.

Will be good to have him against Pittsburgh.

That would be bad for Burrows health. 

Burrow is not a China doll , he is yoing and move around and it is real football you can't hide him in the closet and they will scheme the best they can ie run the ball more, quick passes. Beside Tenn dominates in time of possession and with the injuries I see us not having the ball much and probably 3 and outs this week

Gio would end up like Josh Norman...

If Sample were to come in at tackle this week, there is going to be virtually nothing they can do to keep Clowney away from Burrow. Tennessee would line Clowney up over Sample every play and have him feast. Burrow isn’t a China doll, no, but all of those hits add up. Andrew Luck wasn’t a China doll, either. He could move better than Burrow can and was significantly bigger than Burrow is and he still retired due to his accumulated injuries.

Me too!

Billy Price came into the NFL with some sort of chest injury and quickly injured his foot during the first few games of his rookie season. He’s definitely a fish out of water at guard but he’s now healthy and heavier and back at his natural position at center. To my eye with no data analytics to back it to Price appears to be far better against 4-3 defenses than 3-4 defenses.
