I have more faith in our O-line this year, but we still have serious pass protection problems.

That's the thing - if you don't get more specific then you can't correct. Hopkins had a terrible game and they need to be ready to sit him in favor of Hill if he shows like that again. But the Tackles were flawless and the Guards stout. The big issues were Burrow taking too long on some plays but much more that Perine, Mixon and Sample all whiffed on pass protection assignments. 

What is the takeaway? They need to work hard on correct pickup of rushers by the backs. And probably Perine needs to be demoted to RB3 and Evans made RB2 as we saw in preseason and camp he has some ability in this area.
