He's sounded optimistic since he got here. He's great with the media. It's the playing football stuff that's questionable. My skepticism is with him though, not you. Don't mean to shoot the messenger at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claptonrocks Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 Seems all of them look in great shape. JB and Chase look stronger... Volson looks like Quentin Nelson (330lbs).. Carman and Collins look slimmer.. Just like the way they've dedicated themselves to be in peak condition this season.. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My skepticism is with him though, not you. Don't mean to shoot the messenger at all. Collins was very good his last 2 years in Dallas. He was a good run blocker for us last year but struggled in pass protection here. If his back is better and his knee is healed to the point where he can play in 3 months, then that would help the team a lot. Maybe they'll even feel good enough about the situation to trade Jonah. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|BlackJesus| Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 I might be in the minority, but I have more faith in Collins than Jonah (who is not even there, but pouting). I have always thought Jonah was a G ... and not even a strong or stout one at that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 I don't see Jonah as a guard. He's not strong enough to move defenders back, maybe he could be good at pulling. He's a below average run-blocking LT with pass protection his specialty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too much... but I wasnt the one whos kneecaps were were popping out.during play.... Heal up Jonah.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer to that is zero. His contract option is guaranteed and he won’t be re-signed after this year. The Bengals won’t be spending any additional money beyond what he gets in 2023. Also, they replaced him at LT. Not exactly a move you make to avoid admitting a mistake. He’s not guaranteed shit right now except a chance to compete at a different position. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not guaranteed shit right now except a chance to compete at a different position. They picked up his option then replaced him, I think there's some buyer's remorse for sure. Now his only competition in camp looks to be another guy that's switching sides. I don't think they're over him yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That money could certainly be better spent on better players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
