I'm not a fan of ZT not making OL change either, but at the same time its not like we are deep in that area. Johnson got his first start a RG which may not even be his best position, but its hard to judge a guy after one single start. Now if he doesnt show improvement against the Eagles, I will be really shocked to not see changes made, however at the same time, Billy Price has apparently been sightly injured like he has his entire short career here. Have we even seen him play 100% healthy yet? Not that I'm too optimistic about him, but it seems like he get banged up a lot. We really need to find a way to open up holes for Mixon because it takes the pressure off Burrow. That's #1 on the O imo.
Another side of the story is like it or not, both the Chargers an Clowns have very stout DLs. I know its easy to throw the Clowns under the bus, but the truth is, they have a roster loaded with very good talent. They could easily end up a playoff caliber team if they find a way to pull it together. Its just too early in the season to tell. Not too mention you never know how it will go in the battle of Ohio. They hardly ever go as expected based on the stats of both teams.
I'm more worried about the DL at the moment, and the tackling issues of the D as a whole. Burrow is finding ways to move the ball and should get better, but if we cant stop the run we are screwed. We are getting gutted by RBs and it has to stop. That would go a long way in fixing everything, including the offense, imo.
