If anything you put Scharping in there.

This. If you're going to take Volson out of the starting lineup, you replace him with someone who has already proven to be a decent-if-not-good OLman in Scharping.

So what would Marvin do #1 - what do we do with Cordell Volson ?
A. roll the dice and let the rookie earn his stripes
B. bench his ass and bring in J. Carman
c. move Ted Karras to LG and put Trey Hill at C
d.other _________________
Marvin probably wouldn't have started Volson to begin with.
It would have probably been Carman getting the start for a while until he proved undeserving in regular season games.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
Sorry for Party Rocking!

Could have signed with us and tried to complete unfinished business.
Yeah the league minimum thing is what makes me think there is other issues with him. But Fred has spent whole off season saying he’s injured. Can’t imagine we offered him a contract if he was injured. It’s always felt like he played below his market value. I’m trying to find it now

Damn straight and your right. This is exactly what we would do. Nobody does hindsight 20/20 better than Bengal fans.

Why not ask what Super Bowl winning coaches would do?

Well, Marvin has the ring as the DC in Baltimore...I'm pretty sure that's about as decorated a coach as we've had unless you put a SB ring as a coordinator on the same level as an AFC Championship ring as a HC.

That may well be where we end up somewhere down the road.

of course they wont, but that is pure coach speak. Volson is on a relatively short leash

Well to do that you need someone Better to replace him and we dont have that on this roster. (maybe the new guy but hes only had the playbook 1 week)

Scharping is the only one I suppose ? Carman must have really screwed the pooch. And just no to Adeniji.

Leave Volson in there. He was going against future HOFer Hayward and that's no easy task on a debut. If Volson is still struggling after the Thursday night Miami game, then it's time to see about making some changes. I believe in this kid, he just needs reps, and he'll be just fine.

Why would anyone want Spain back? He was a big part of the problem last year with the line protecting Burrow. Spain in the regular season only had a 58.9 PFF in pass protection. In post season when he had to face better defenses he graded out at a 49.4 PFF in pass protection. That's not good
While I do think Spain is better than Volson at this point in time, he is still pretty bad in pass protection which is why no team has picked him up.
