oldschooler Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 Billy Price embracing comeback opportunity in second year 107SHARES SHARE TWEET EMAIL By: Chris Roling | May 25, 2019 12:21 pm ET Volume 0% Cincinnati Bengals center Billy Price sounds ready for a big turnaround as a sophomore. Price’s journey to the NFL got off on the wrong foot with the pec injury suffered at the combine. He then made it into two games as Cincinnati’s starter at center before leaving with an injury. When he returned, Price had an up-and-down performance while also playing a part in Andy Dalton’s injury. EmailSign up Like this article?

It is very, very nice,” Price said, according to Jay Morrison of The Athletic. “But it is a lot of responsibility. I have to make sure all of the rest of my guys are on the same page. I said it last year and didn’t live up to it.” Like everyone else, Price is seeing plenty of changes to the Bengals under Zac Taylor. His line has been particularly hit hard in this department, with first-round pick Jonah Williams assuming left tackle, Cordy Glenn swinging to guard and free-agent add John Miller taking over on Price’s right. It’s clear Price is taking a leadership role in this regard when it comes to getting guys on the same page. If he’s healthy, the time spent learning last year should help toward his goal of a second-year leap. Price understands his talk last year didn’t translate to the field. But he’s clearly embracing it and the best thing he can do now — which applies to the entirety of the line — is get right over the summer and gel with the unit so Dalton’s clean for a full 16 games.

snarkster Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Guess just about everyone has pushed Boling out the door, penciling in Miller at RG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boling is nursing a mysterious injury that is definitely, certainly 100% not a bone bruise. Anyway I don't think Price looked like anything worse than a rookie NFL center on a bad line with nobody to lean on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|High School Harry| Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 How can he have a come back in his second year? Its not like he went anywhere or even had to live up to previous years performance. I just look for him to come in and kick some ass now that he knows what he's up against and how the game is played in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
