The sacks were very interesting because the guards and the tackles were better in pass protection. Trey Hopkins, the center, will improve as he recovers from injury; he was definitely the weakest link on the offensive line. Except for Hopkins the sacks came from blown assignments, not from bad blocking technique.
This is fixable. Frank Pollack is obviously coaching better technique but assignments are being missed and there were more than a few free paths to Joe Burrow. Jim Turner had the players mostly in the correct position but their technique was so bad they couldn’t sustain a block.
Some of those were supposed to be picked up by the running back. Remember overpaid Gio? If he was in yesterday's game Burrow only gets sacked 3 times.
