FWIW, Jonah Williams pressures allowed by season:
2019 - 0 (injured all year)
2020 - 20 (634 snaps)
2021 - 42 (1044 snaps)
2022 - 43 (1101 snaps)
2023 - 5 (116 snaps)
So Jonah pretty much his whole career has averaged 40-43 total pressures each season.
He's not really improved much at all.
So while you may be giving Dawand Jones the benefit of the doubt, some players just are already what they will be.
I know it's not fair to make that assumption on Dawand Jones, but it is a possibility, so I'm calling it out as one.
But why am I bringing up a comparison of Dawand Jones (rookie) to Jonah Williams (5th year)?
Well, the talk is about potentially having drafted Dawand Jones and having him cover RT instead of Jonah Williams, is it not?
At the rate Dawand Jones is going, he's on pace (keyword = on pace) for around 40-45 total pressures allowed, which is right about what Jonah Williams has done his whole career in the NFL so far.
So Dawand Jones rookie might not really be any better than what Jonah Williams offers the Bengals for this year.
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: 3-5 so far. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
