Yes the line improved later in the season. In fact once it had a stable lineup (Johnson, XSF, Hopkins, Spain, Hart) that got lots of reps together it was actually effective. We have the stats on this in multiple threads - pressures and hits nosedived and only 2 sacks in the last 4 games. Well, Jonah is back and he is better than Johnson and Reiff is a pretty large upgrade over Hart. The key right now is ensuring players like MJ and Redmond never see the field as a Bengal again. This is why I want to at minimum double dip OL.
With Chase, you can expect that 3 WR is going to be the base set, with possibly Perine and Mixon in the backfield together with Burrow. I would assume here that if teams try dropping 7 or 6 we could play power football and have Perine either be the bulldozer or lead for Mixon. I would expect that this is going to result in single coverage on either Higgins or Chase or Boyd which is great for us.
