Some of the homers were really touting his pass protection when we signed him, but he is constantly getting beat in the a lot of the clips from camp. Just saw one from today of Slaton beating him for what would have been a sack in a game.

Either way, it would behoove this team to go out and try and get some more guard help. Could they explore a trade? 

Remember that Patrick's PFF grades from the past few years were not while he was playing RG.
He hasn't played significant RG snaps since 2020.

2024 - 64.6 overall grade (60.3 pass block)...474 snaps at LG, 88 at C
2023 - 50.5 overall grade (40.6 pass block)...953 snaps at C
2022 - 55.9 overall grade (30.8 pass block)...154 snaps at LG, 10 at C, 105 at RG
2021 - 57.2 overall grade (67.3 pass block)...57 snaps at LG, 822 at C, 32 at RG
2020 - 64.8 overall grade (61.5 pass block)...3 snaps at LT, 220 at LG, 8 at C, 708 at RG

So he's really not been that impressive in general, but he also hasn't played much RG for like 5 years.
Dude potentially just isn't a good fit at RG, especially for what the Bengals are trying to run.
