sparky151 Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 There is no chance Jonah holds out. His future isn't in Cincinnati so he wants the starting job to maintain his market value for next offseason. I think he's likely to be the starter for the same reason he's still on the roster. My guess is Tobin doesn't want to add Jonah to the list of disappointing draft picks even though almost everyone here would say his career hasn't reached the expectations we had for him when drafted or even a year ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm afraid of: starting him for reasons other than being the best RT on the roster. Though he may actually be the best RT they have in the sense that if you only have half a leftover microwave burrito and some mustard packets in the fridge the burrito is the best dinner you have. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the rest of Joan Williams's career here I will think of half of a left over burrito. Well said. no 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

membengal Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 Cross-post from the OTA thread - (thanks griever for the find there) as it is useful in this thread too. Gotta say, per our previous discussions, he is moving WAY better and earlier than I might have reasonably guessed this soon after the knee surgery. He said three weeks or so ago how good he was feeling and how much better his back was feeling and I wondered if the rehab for the knee was helping in other ways and this is maybe an indication that it might be. That looks like a guy who will be ready at some point in 2023, either for this team or someone else... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How well they play is kind of an afterthought when 2 of the 3 potential starters have an extensive injury history. The starting RT job may well come down to who isn't hurt.

It's a Taco Bell burrito that we paid a filet mignon price for but it got all soggy on the way home and kept falling apart so now we're trying to turn it into an enchilada like that's going to fix it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
