No he will not be rushed back because Joe is smarter than that. His dad played college and pro ball as well as being a long time coach. He understands the nature of injuries and I am certain that he is advising Joe through the entire process.
As to the O line...again here I would disagree with you. They brought back one of the best O line coaches in the game right now. In his single season with the Bengals the line showed improvement and he should have never been let go in the first place. They added Riley Reiff filling the weak link at RT(does not matter if only for a season at this point as you only play a season at a time). They were in the market for a high caliber OG and got that prospect in Jackson Carman. That really leaves one OG spot open and we have very qualified candidates to compete for that position.
Why wouldn't the team be interested in players at any position if they were potential upgrades to what we have in the depth chart now and give the team a better chance of winning?
Spot on about Burrow, he isn't stupid and he has a lot of football guys in his corner...
Also, a lot of the players some guys were pining for were just their favorites and were overpaid, like Thuney and Orlando
who both gave up more sacks and had more penalties than Reiff last season. It is all preference. Some just cannot get on
board with the players selected for some reason. Looking at the players I preferred the way we went about it and prefer
the players we got and at what price. Getting Carman and Shelvin and D'Ante knocked it out of the park in my eyes.
That isn't even including our FA where we improved our pass rush IMO.
