His most snaps ever played in a season was 739, and that was his rookie year at RT with the Bills.
He allowed 7 sacks, 31 total pressures that year.


After that season, he shifted to playing Guard.
2020 - 383 offensive snaps (1/3 of a season really). 0 sacks but 15 total pressures.
2021 - 485 offensive snaps (not quite half a season). 2 sacks, 26 total pressures.
2022 - 350 offensive snaps (1/3 of a season). 3 sacks, 20 total pressures.

As a Bengal in 2023, he hardly played. 78 offensive snaps played.
Last year, he played 688 offensive snaps (about 2/3 of a season), allowing 5 sacks and 37 total pressures.

This dude has been Volson-caliber.
To expect him to be markedly better than Volson is wishful thinking.

With Patrick not having a good season at Guard since 2020 and Volson and Ford both around the 40 total pressures across a full season, it's really difficult to say either of the OG spots will have even decent pass blocking, let alone above average.

Either the team really, really blames the previous OL coach for the lack of development/production on the interior of the OL, or they plan on making a serious draft pick or to two to rectify the situation. Honestly? All four of our Guards are backup quality at best, as things currently stand.
