R.I.P. Team Sewell

[*pally*]

The line may have been "not good" today but neither were they awful which is what they have been. Joey B had time to throw and Joe Mixon had room to run which is more than could do last year. I would say they were serviceable

The other sacks were on a) The silly idea of blocking an elite DE with a TE and b) We had two plays were the back missed the blocking assignment. Burrow had a clean pocket the vast majority of the time and Mixon had some room to run. And this was with Hopkins in particular being very rusty because ZT only had the first team offense play three snaps all preseason. 

TE on a great edge is never an ideal situation but on it can be forced on occasions like it was on that play. Interior blitz forced a Big On Big inside out protection which forced Sample on Hunter and a Hot Read. You can see Burrow Double clutch on that play and Sample blown by Hunter was just a bad situation.

In terms of lack of separation there were needs. Plus even though aj wasn't good last year he seemed to draw a lot of attention which freed up the others.

Sewell played well today. Chase played well today. This thread is pointless.

Absolutely! This offensive line has potential to be good and we need to give mad props to Frank Pollack for having the players prepared to play today. The lack of pre-snap penalties was encouraging and so was the inside run blocking and most of the pass protection. They have a long way to go but they are a lot better then they were.

Maybe you could've made better use of your time updating Opie's win total in your sign then.

Exactly.

Instead of people being happy the team won and good vibes around with of course a few threads to discuss the few things going wrong like Eli Apple's play, the 4th down play and free rushers on a handful of plays, we get the predictable type of crap just trying to keep stirring things up. It's not needed at all, yet... here it is. So instead of a night of being able to enjoy the win and have conversations about the better play calling and why so many people are falling on the turf in the stadium, we get the expected....

The Jamarr fans just refuse to let it go

Seriously think they like jamarr chase more than the bengals

Guarantee if the bengals lose a game like 7-34, they’d still say something in the vein of “at least jamarr chase caught a touchdown. The Lions lost”

Something like that

Another year, same old problems. Burrow was sacked 5 times. I can't see how anybody can defend the poor pass protection yet again. The Bengals did not do enough to address the O line this offseason. You just can't have Burrow keep taking hits like that. Over a 17 game schedule that would be 85 sacks. Burrow won't survive taking those hits. Would Sewell have made any difference? It's hard to say. If you had Sewell, you would at least have more options on the O line. As it is, the pass protection was bad

Sounds like your waiting for him to have a bad game so you can pounce. You're like seriously upset that people are happy he played well.

At least 2 of the sacks weren't on the Oline. Perine missed at least 2 pick ups that were his responsibility which directly resulted in sacks. I believe another was Burrow holding on too wrong but still, 2-3 sacks is fairly normal. Five sacks is obviously a lot more than we want to see again but not all sacks are on the Oline. 

Two were because of our Center who's also just coming back from knee surgery.I'm not sure if any came from where Sewell would have been playing.

I'm a Penei guy and I ain't letting shit go after one game.

Dude looked like a stud against a D line with people like Nick Bosa in it.
