RG Options

[Bengalstripes9]

I was just scrolling X and Zim and others were saying how poorly Patrick is doing at RG and how he's not a fan of our situation at the position.

I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions to solidify that spot?

Do we need to look to make a trade?
Bring in a FA?

Or is there someone on the roster that we like?

I'm pretty happy with all the other positions on offense.
But it would be nice to solidify this position as well.

If they were smart? Jalen rivers. The most logical option is dalton risner in free agency.

I vote Dalton Risner. I dont believe he's played much RG and his pass blocking is better than his run blocking. But he looks to be our best option via FA unless Schreff can be compelled to play. The coaches can't be happy with Patrick and if that trend continues over the next week or so they need to do something. I can't understand watching him get beat as regularly as he has been and going into week 1 with him as the starter.

Bengals are in a vary precarious situation when it comes to both their Guard spots and their depth on the Offensive Line.

Lucas Patrick is not having a good camp. Cody Ford maybe the only other tackle on the roster and he doesnt give you the warm and fuzzies. I like Jalen Rivers but it's already iffy with one rookie guard. Volson they obviously want to replace.

I thught Risner was more of a LG, but was told he played RG and did well for Vikings last year. He has my vote. I just wonder why other guard needy teams have no signed him or other guards available.

The coaches has to be concerned Patrick is getting beat a lot in camp, one guys beating him is a rookie Stewart.

Front office dropped the ball on this one.

Options are pretty limited at this point. All they can do is cross their fingers. A trade is another option, but we all know how stingy the Bengals are with trades. 

I'd get the Saints on the phone and ask them about Cesar Ruiz. He's signed through 2028, but his contract isn't structured in a way the Bengals love. Maybe the Saints can throw some cash in. Throw them a 3rd or 4th round pick?

The only decent in house move is Karras to RG.

Burrow and Karras have too much chemistry built up regarding protection calls, reads, etc. I'm not making that move.
