Lets talk OL

The first thing the Bengals need to do is resign Collins. Resign him and make him the starting RT. So that means move Smith to RG. Think Smith would be a better G then T. Smith has show alot this year. Just think if they move him to RG with his run blocking he would be a beast and wouldnt have to move as much to pass block. Now LG we need to find in FA (Mathis). So my starting lineup would be WHIT, FA, COOK, SMITH and COLLINS. My backups would be Boling, Williams and would draft another OG an OT but wouldnt need to so early in the draft. If Whit or Collins went down they could move Smith back to RT and Collins to LT if needed.

Briesel from Houston

Kinda of like a Bobbie Williams 6-7 years ago. UFA Guard

He is FA, about 30, and Houston probably can’t sign him due to cap problems

Their will be some cap casualties as well – need at least one starter in FA, if Castro falls take him, if not maybe Boling with Bobbie as backup as

No arguments here, Andre would be a much better G than T at this level.

Williams wont be a backup i think they will let him go

And pick someone up in the draft or FA. Mathis is def not happening. I do like the which of smith

Williams is (was) a VERY good run blocker

Unless they sign 2 big name FA guards, or Williams doesn’t fully recover from the injury, I see him coming back next year.

Of course, that’s assuming they don’t do the obvious and move Tubby to guard. Which, be honest, we all know they’re not going to do. Collins will be in the pro bowl next year for someone else, or the year after at the latest.
