But we need to protect Burrow at all costs, dude is getting hit like crazy man.

I get it, we all get it that Burrow is getting thrown to the wolves.  It's the management's fault for not making sure that there would be adequate protection for a rookie QB.  It's our coaches fault for not having the guys provided to him, properly prepared to do the job presented to them.  There is an old saying that says "You go to war with the army you have, not the army you want".

Short of Jonah Williams, every man on that OL that has been rolled out there this season has prior NFL experience, they're all physical "beasts" of men, they know what the battle conditions are all about.  I hold the coaching staff completely responsible for not having the guys prepared for battle.  However, I cannot fault them for not throwing a rookie, late round draft selection out there to get ruined.  Maybe, as some time goes by, Adeniji gets some reps to get his feet wet.  If he shows promise, maybe then, later in the season you give him more extensive duty.
