Sample had his moments blocking when they're not asking him to do too much. He seems much better at run blocking and when he gets out in the secondary.

After watching the 1st 2 games I want to agree that this line is gonna get Burrow killed. But I just saw a stat from Ben Baby that going into MNF the Bengals ranked 7th in pass block win rate. Which definitely seemed confusing to me but it does seem most of the sacks especially from the oline are communication errors. Also I just saw one of the sacks against the Bears was due to a WR not running a screen they were supposed to. I noticed it in game because Jonah and Spain released they're guys and headed out like it was a screen and Burrow hesitated for a sec then tried to run but Mack beat XSF and got the sack. It looks like it was probably supposed to be Chase and looked like it could've been a big play.
