Hoping pass protection is much better this year for Burrow, with Jonah on his left side, Jordan improving, Hop being decent
it could be. Hope XSF is an upgrade at RG or Price shows up and starts playing decent. Maybe Fred Johnson pushes Hart 
and either Hart becomes good or FJ does. Adeniji I really like as well. Think we could really improve on the O-line this year.

We need it badly for Burrow and company to succeed.

Compared to last year at this time, we are already leaps and bounds improved.  Even if you say "well, Jonah hasn't done it live" or something, they had John Jerry and Andre Smith splitting time at LT in week 1, a 21 year old rookie pressed in to duty at RG, Hopkins first year as full-time starter at Center.  They are already in MUCH better position than last year.  

If XSF pans out to be better than Miller and Hart continues to reduce his penalties (he was already a fairly solid run blocker) then the line should be solid at the very least.
