The Offense of line was not cohesive but out of all of the offense of linemen, I think Jonah Williams looked slow and was a huge disappointment. Clearly not football ready don't know if the shoulder was still in some way bothering him but Jonah really needs to get it together or it will not be long Joe will be hurt again...
Is it possible to consider La'el Collins for the left tackle position? he is massive in size just to buy some time for Joe on the back side...

Collins didn't exactly have a great day, either. Honestly, I get all of the concern about the OL, but I saw nothing that continued reps together won't fix. That was the unit's first live action of the season, first time taking the field together, with 80% of them not being on the team last year. There's going to be some issues while those guys get used to playing together.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

Collins hasn't played LT in 7 years. At LSU he only played LT for 1 year.

You can't just swap tackles. This isn't Madden. The footwork is totally different.
The interior guys...like Guards...maybe can be swapped. But, even that is a big ask.

Why? Right Tackle is just as important as Left Tackle in the modern age NFL. I mean we just seen a game where the Right Tackle had to go against the reigning DPOY.

Isn’t Collins going to be the one dealing with Parsons this week, too?

Maybe some reps they like to move him around as a blitzer and pass rusher but he's actually their weak side stack backer. Collins will be seeing another solid edge guy DeMarcus Lawrence.

Was more disappointed with Williams than anyone else on the OL this game.
Volson pretty much looked like any rookie guard not called Quenton Nelson would look like .vs. Heyward. Karras and Cappa were pretty solid, Collins was not great but he had not got a lot of training time plus Watt is Watt.
Bearing in mind the merry go round we have had with the OLine absolutely no need to swap...add him to the list of people who looked rusty and not up to speed week 1

Remember the first time the Bengals were on Hard Knocks and Mike Brown suggested moving a DT who was most likely going to get cut to TE to see if he could do it? And remember how everyone rightfully shit on MB for that?

It was a DE. And it was cause we were completely out of TEs for that days practice.
Remember how everyone mis remembers those events.

Haven't been impressed with Jonah since his first donned The Stripes.
Looks slow as was mentioned, and he gets beat way too often for a LT.
I'd go as far to call him slightly below average.
The Bengals should take the highest rated LT in next year's draft.

Spot on. Jonah, Cordell and La'el had a rough game and this shouldn't surprise anyone in their first action playing
together against a very good Stealer DL. Karras and Cappa played pretty great from what I saw though which was
awesome to see. All these guys will get better as the season goes on.

True, not a good idea at all.

The Offense Of Line is a hilarious way to spell it
Our Quart Tur Back really had a few bad throws
The Why Did Receive Her's also had some drops
The guys on Dee Fence played very well

Going back and watching the game again, the line wasn't nearly as bad as people think. Karras and Cappa were very consistent overall and had very solid games. Jonah had a handful of rough reps, but overall played better than what many are thinking. Collins was up and down, but was really solid in the 4th quarter. He looked rusty and spent too much time on the ground in the 1st half, but he also had some really outstanding reps mixed in there. Volson had a rough day as a whole, but if you watch every rep he had, there's also reason for optimism with him. His negative reps were the story, but man...there were some nice ones in there too, especially in the 2nd half.

It's going to take a couple more games to get it all together. Hopefully though we'll see a much improved Oline next week.
