If you were to look at it logically then , yes.. we could be in worse shape than last years poor play with the most experienced starters coming back from injury, two unproven young bookend OT's and Bodine (slowly moving from mediocre to moderate...at this rate he'll be All Pro by 2025)
However if being a fan was logical I'd have sold out and bought a Brady jersey years ago.
I say we break the record for least sacks given up in a 16 week season and AD is barely touched all year.
This could be down to the OL or most likely down to the new offensive scheme Ken Zampese is forced to employ which sees the bengals run the ball on 513 consecutive snaps to start the season plus utilize a unique blocking scheme with 4 blocking FB's in front of Jeremy Hill - none of which he simply follows into the running lane.
The only side effect of this offensive shift is the premature retirement of Kevin Huber after week 7 due to his punting leg falling off due to overuse.
