The o-line needed starters and depth, instead, they drafted backup defensive ends, then missed on Shelvin before drafting project OT D'Ante Smith. I wouldn't have had too much of a problem with either one if they hadn't signed Hendrickson or were intending on letting Hubbard walk but that's not what happened. They were working on an extension with Hubbard before the draft, maybe they wasted two valuable draft choices just to lower the price for Hubbard. I wouldn't put it past Mike Brown.
O-line after the 2020 season with an injured Rookie QB.
LT - Jonah Williams - an underwhelming 10 games in his first season after completely missing his rookie year, missed 22 of his first 32 games
LG - Michael Jordan - sigh - what a waste
C - Trey Hopkins - was on the only NFL roster that he could make and he still started 15 games
RG - Alex Redmond - reminded me of mid 90s RG Ken Blackmon as in he was only good at committing penalties and getting into fights
RT - Bobby Hart - no review needed
All that they had done in FA was sign Reilly Rieff, who actually played damn good until his injury.
So then in the draft, they draft a big Left Tackle and think that they can teach him to be a Right Guard, they draft a project late in the 4th round and a 6th round Center that has looked over matched since he got off of the plane.
Quote:People forget but Sample actually made a huge play in the Divisional Round that enabled us to beat the Titans that year.
The Titans game. The first post season game in NFL history where a QB was sacked 9 times and still won. It would've been 10 sacks, but there was a defensive penalty early in the game that negated a sack. I don't know what Sample did in the Super Bowl, but Burrow was sacked 7 more times and was hurried almost instantly on the last offensive snap of the season.
