While Lee may have the physical talent to come in at Center, he is not going to have Karras' experience helping Joe dissect the defense. So you would be weakening two positions trying to fix one. 

Joe does not need help dissecting defenses. It’s one of his biggest strengths, and he was good at it before Karras even got here. His first center when he came into the league was an UDFA that they had moved from guard.

Correct, but the OL definitely needs someone who knows the playbook inside and out making the blocking calls from play to play.

Lee is the backup center. It’s his job to know. Anyway, we’ll see what happens over these last 5 games. I didn’t think they’d actually bench Volson, so maybe they’ll surprise me and we’ll get a look at Lee. They should be in full on evaluation mode at this point.

Oh, I agree, and even said so two losses ago.

Amarius Mims is now in the top right quad for pass blocking success when on an island.

Right next to Orlando Brown and approaching a lot of the elite OTs.

His week by week growth has been awesome to see - a perfect fit for the Bengals offense. https://t.co/2PBtf3XuQm

Amarius Mims is a building wearing ballet shoes. I’m very impressed.
