HoosierCat Posted March 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Geoff Hobson, the gift that keeps on giving. Quote The 6-4, 300-pound [T.J.] Johnson, a seventh-round selection in 2013, is coming off his best season and is a leading contender to replace Zeitler if they lose him. Johnson played a career-high 95 snaps and made his first NFL start at left guard in the season finale. Your Cincinnati Bengals, ladies and gennamun: the leading candidate to replace our all-pro guard is a 7th round pick with one career start.

Well, at least Paul Alexander is there to ready the un-ready. I think we can all just relax and let coach do his "work". <reaches for the cough medicine, takes a long pull>. I feel better all ready.

ArmyBengal Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I cannot see how Westerman isn't the leading contender to replace Zeitler at this point. He was actually a highly rated OG with thoughts of him going no later than the 3rd round. Hell, I think NFL.com had compared him to Alex Mack if I'm not mistaken. Minus a high round OG, which I think is pointless considering this team's philosophy on OG's, Westerman is about the only intriguing player for me. EDIT: Double checked and yep.http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/christian-westerman?id=2555131 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted March 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I wish I knew what the deal was with Westerman. You're right, he was a highly regarded prospect, yet with all the issues we had on the oline last season he didn't sniff the field. It feels like the pick has gone south fast, but we will see.

It might also be noted that he basically had his only season last year. Dude hasn't exactly been playing. One start last year in meaningless last game of the year. Now it's, "he's ready!" What a load. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see the need at 9, unless they have no intention to keep Whit, or think Jake or Cedric won't be viable at LT. Better to pay Whit and draft an elite LB or DE. LT busts are not uncommon so while Bolles looked great at the underwear Olympics, his film/college career does not merit a take at 9 the way Foster or Thomas does.
