JoePong Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 If Levi Jones is ready to play to start the season and Willie is still out, should Kooistra still start at RT? Or should we move Andews back to RT and Whitworth back to LG? Or maybe leave Andrews at LG and play Whitworth at RT? And if Kooistra does stay at RT with Levi back, should Andrews or Whit start at LG? Lots of possibilities...What would be the best lineup?

derekshank Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Whit should be in the starting lineup regardless. Andrews has shown more as a Guard than a Tackle... and I like Kooistra - but think that they should split the duty, as Kooistra hasn't ever needed to do it for an entire game before.To be honest... even with the injury concerns again, I'm still more concerned about the defense.

Kazkal Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 I'd move Whitworth to RT,which is where I see his future after willie retires... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whodeynation Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 What about Kieft? Aside from the foot boo-boo, is he expected back soon? I heard he has been impressive..mauling and running and impressing early in camp. How many O-line will make the team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Andrews looked terrible at tackle versus Indy last season. Granted it's only one game, but I agree with derek hes looked much better at tackle.Whit at RT is a possibility -- he was pegged as an RT by most draft analysts -- but I don't believe he has worked there much. I think I'd rather leave Koo there at this point. Maybe it'd be different if Levi had been healthy and Whit had had a full camp at RT.

HairOnFire Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Whit should be in the starting lineup regardless. Andrews has shown more as a Guard than a Tackle... and I like Kooistra - but think that they should split the duty, as Kooistra hasn't ever needed to do it for an entire game before. Andrews has always looked better when working inside. On the outside he too often loses line integrity by doing his own thing, usually pushing his man into next week but creating gaps that other defenders shoot through.

I don't see either Willie or Levi here in the next two years, I think there bodies are just too beat up and have too much wear and tear on them. Levi will try to stick around to continue to collect a check which I don't blame him but I don't think he will ever be back close to 100% on those old man knees of his. The Bengals will be fine against regular teams but it will show against teams with great line play like the Chargers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
