Not good. Sources tell me could be season ending. Know FA C Jeff Faine will visit tomorrow.

unleashed Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Well, sounds like he's got us by the balls then. Not many veteran centers who could come in. Pay whoever won't let dalton get killed. I wonder how bad Boling would be at C and try Roland and Collins thursday at guard....I dunno. Sounds scary as shit to me now that I look at it.

happyrid Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Fuck, this would be a massive kick in the nuts. Cook is very underrated. And he's the QB of the line. Why did they keep him in the game after the injury? Bengals doctors are straight up shitty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrlnutz Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Dunno if Faine has anything in the tank. Might have more luck moving Boling to C and finding a G on cut down day than finding a starting caliber C. Boling was a backups that took snaps at C right?

But the line was already inconsistent and not quite on the same page.. Now we will be replacing our center 2 weeks before the season, and he will have rookies playing on either side of him.. It's not a good scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengals1181 Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 First step would be to move Clint Boling to center. Then you find a G/C to plug or backup LG. I'd like to see Roland play the entire Colts game at LG and Boling get a fair bit of time at Center. Roland shows potential as a guard where he doesn't have to play in space and his lack of speed get exposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
