have league's best O-Lines:

Who's got your quarterback's back? And
who's getting your quarterback
pummeled?
Even through a six-week NFL sample
size, it's mostly apparent that the team
that protects the quarterback the best
wins the most games.
I emphasize mostly.
I took a dive, with the massive assistance
of TruMedia, into how every NFL
team's offensive line has performed in
terms of quarterback pressures and sacks
allowed. I focused mainly on pressure
percentage for teams and individuals as a
determining factor in who's protecting
or not protecting their respective
quarterback well.
Bengals one of 3 best: The Bengals seem like a total
contradiction. They lead the league in
sacks allowed. And yet they're the third
best team in terms of pressure
percentage allowed? And Joe Burrow
unloads the football at the fourth-fastest
rate in the league at 2.43 seconds? The
sack-per-pressure rate probably tells
more of the story. If Burrow receives
pressure, he's more likely than just about
any other quarterback to absorb a sack. Left tackle Jonah Williams, the only
starter remaining from last season, still
seems like the sore spot along the front
five with a below-average pressure rate
allowed. He's also tied for second in
terms of most sacks allowed.
On the plus side, guard Alex Cappa and
tackle Lael Collins hold above-average
pressure rates and guard Cordell Volson
holds a nearly average rate. Those results
are far better than what Burrow and the
Bengals had to put up with last season.

Joe just has to swallow his play making pride and throw the ball away at the RB's feet when receiving pressure. 

Yet still the O-line should be able to give him that 2.43 seconds. 

Both Joe and O-line just need to do a wee bit better on the little things. 

Hopefully Jonah has some sort of injury and will get better as season goes along. Because his play is alarming yet in contrast of previous seasons.
