WRAPradio 301 Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 Fred Johnson need to be the backup tackle, not the backup guard. He got abused all night and Jim Turner's decision not to bench him is baffling. We saw what happened to Andrew Luck (took a beating and retired early). This line has to get better THIS year and that starts with finding the best five...it ain't Fred Johnson (at least I hope to God it isn't). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He probably played Fred Johnson because he was more receptive to Turner's plan of ringing Price's parent's house at 3AM to call his mother a whore & threaten to rape his sister. I wish I was joking but that (among other scumfuck behavior) is what got Turner suspended. Now he's our OL coach because we put such a high priority on character.

-GoBengals- 2,055 Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 Price had an ankle injury, which is why Fred got the nod. Price with the ankle on a short week was a close call, he is expected to be ready for the Eagles game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
I_C_Deadpeople 551 Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 Price hurt? Damn, he has been so durable.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PatternMaster 869 Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 Price looked ok when he got going in Week 1, hopefully he can come back and play at a high level. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Agree. He got good push and the pass rush was controlled better Quote Link to post Share on other sites

High level???... A 60pff is high level for Price... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
|High School Harry| 3,142 Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 I wonder if the combination of Drop Dead Fred playing ORT and Billy ORG would work any better? I was surprised to see Fred at Guard because I thought he was always considered a Tackle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe its just me overthinking this delimma called our Oline unit but his 6'7 325lb would have critical leverage problems at guard.. As the game goes on his stance gets higher with starter snaps now... Hell if theyre going to use him there at least rotate him even with Price to keep him fresh late... Same goes for 6'6 Jordan...keep him fresh too.. Such tall guards... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
