It’s late August. We’re still wondering why Christian Westerman isn’t competing against Alex Redmond and Trey Hopkins to become Cincinnati’s starting right guard. Our logic seems sound. Strong. Seems like it.
We’ve watched and liked what we saw. Pro Football Focus lists him as Cincinnati’s top offensive player this preseason, with top grades as a pass blocker and run blocker. Football Outsiders shared that he should be the top option for that spot, too. Discount PFF and Westerman passes the seeing eye test.
