Which is the coaches job. Especially on a short week.

He can play T,C, or GUARD!! (plz see Andre or C.Boling against Eagles 12/13/12)
I would say keeping Andy upright is a pretty big NEED wouldn't you? I will reiterate, I have stood next to the man,spoke with him,he's highly intelligent, and that country boy has a mean streak. By his second year he will be a pro bowl caliber interior lineman. When it comes to football his resume makes Zeitler's and DeCastro's look like it was written in crayon. My opinion may be biased but seriously go read his wiki-bio. I do agree that he probably won't be around by rd 2.

You guys are making way too much of this. The short week with the Thursday game is harder on the O-Line than any other group trying to bounce back with little rest. Combine hat with the fact that they only had one week of game tape to watch since Philly changed their defense and all the stuff they do up front... Well, I wouldn't put too much stock in tht one game.

All good points that most of us are aware of. The Bengals have accumulated a pretty nice collection of young talent on the line. They had a rough game against the Eagles when pass blocking.They still ran the ball very well. I'm pretty sure that everyone that posted in this thread agrees that B.Jones will be a serious asset to any o-line. We hope he is there in the second but we are about 90% sure that he won't. He's probably the closest thing to a sure thing that there is in this draft. B.Jones could replace Andre if the team is unable to resign him.He is C.Boling times ten and is immediately the best center on the Bengals if drafted by them.
