While I suspect jonah could excel at RT, whereas at LT he's good enough. It's the nature of LT in the NFL, when you get beat, it shows - badly. And there are enough plays that he gets beat, it makes you wonder if they couldn't find a better LT in the draft. Just the nature of Bengals fans to remember all those solid seasons of Whit and question it when you see a LT get smoked a couple of times each game.
The fact remains, the bengals are weak at 3 of the 5 OL positions, it drags everyone down. While Reiff remains solid enough in 2021, but his legs are going. Reiff's superior upper body technique can't compensate for when someone gets around engaging his arms. In short, he probably shouldn't be the starting RT in 2022. So is your take to continue with the same LT/RT combination in 2022? Or do you have some other take that isn't "horrible?"
Jonah's skills are not a good fit at RT.
Look at what happened when the Ravens moved a good LT (Villanueva) to RT this year. He got abused.
