They basically cruised into the playoffs on the backs of a Charmin soft AFCW, only scored 17 against Baltimore and had to rely on playoff Lamar to tank the game for the Ravens, and scored 3 points in the first half of the Super Bowl. That's really not a replicable recipe for success in the AFCN.
I also really doubt that a B tier FA RT and a rookie LG added to the OL are going to give Burrow the kind of time to take the snap, smoke a cigar, check his messages, then see that Irwin has finally gotten open and get him the ball.
This is like forming a race team, getting the next Mario Andretti as your driver, then saying "F it, I'm putting all my money into the pit crew and dropping an Ecoboost in the engine compartment. I've got an elite driver. He should be able to make up for having a lot less horsepower."
Trent Brown or Jermaine Eluemunor are neither one "B" tier free agents. Brown is an absolute stud at RT as long as he can stay healthy. Eluemunor may not be the level that Brown is but he is certainly an upgrade from what we had with Jonah. So you do not think a free agent RT and a highly drafted interior lineman can fix this line so then what would be your answer to fixing it?
