Radunz is better than Daley. That is a problem right there. But I would get Radunz ready at LT during the bye and send Daley to Siberia.
Daly was worse than y'all are admitting
I heard he paints cats black heading into halloween

Same, I love Conklin too. He's a FA after this season as well if I remember correctly. Wouldn't be surprised to see us target him and try to bring him home. Move NPF to left, draft a guard high, put Conklin on the right. The line suddenly looks much better. Not sure NPF is the long term answer, but he's far from the biggest issue with the line.
Conklin was pissed at JRob for not picking up his 5th yr contract...I doubt he wants to come back
You know the thing is..it's not just us.
From watching games this season I would say there are only enough good lineman in the league to maybe fill half the teams with a solid o-line. Everyone else is just scrambling trying to fill gaps and voids as best as possible. It gets even worse when you have to throw in backups.
It seems that college is pumping out amazing pass rushers at about a 10-1 rate as opposed to good o-lineman. As teams stack up on these amazing pass rushers, it's making the mediocre lineman look even worse.

Major turnstile shortage in Siberia right now. Good fit.
Brewer is undersized for a guard, but is smart and loves the game. Could he switch positions? If so, to what? Oversized fullback?! Lol
The Bengals went all out on their oline this offseason and it's still been pretty atrocious. Some of that may be growing pains with having 4 new starters but still interesting.
Really makes you question letting Saffold and Conklin walk. Lewan-saffold-jones-davis-conklin vs daley-brewer-jones-randunz-petite fillet. Obviously injuries have lewan and Davis out for us right now but still.
I have hope for some of the young guys even struggling currently. If nothing else, they are getting game time action right now.
No matter how painful it is to watch, I think we may see some improvements by the end of the year.
Dennis Kelly is only playing special teams for the Colts.
I liked the idea of signing Billy Turner as a FA. He went to Denver and is currently a backup, although they're having a lot of OL issues as well.

Vrable was acknowledging today in his presser how bad the OL is and that "they have got to give the QB a chance to run the play".
I'm still curious why RT Daryl Williams is still a FA...had a good year with Buffalo last year
quite the low bar…
Le'Raven Clark is on our team, signed off Eagles practice squad couple weeks ago, he maybe much better than Daley. And if Radunz makes it, it will be left guard, but he was bad at RG yesterday
Not excited about it, but even our truly best OL of the early to late 2000’s had guys drafted late and some time needed.
it’s a bit much to anticipate the same, but some of those guys were so good that there is room between stud and total waste. Hopefully these guys get to at least a middle ground of serviceable.
He retired. Teams have wanted him and he's not talking to them.
Regardless, he would never be in shape for the next game. None of the FA currently sitting at home would be in “game shape”.
