Not trying to come off as negative... but just being honest here.

Reiff's grade certainly is helped by the offense in Minnesota being run first. Teams couldn't just line up and tee off on rushing the QB, they had to respect the Vikings ground game.

The Bengals need to get it right with the sets and play-calling with their current roster. If they leave Burrow in empty sets in shotgun again on a majority of their snaps, teams are going to speed rush this line to death.

If they switch things up, and get Burrow under center or even in the pistol with a TE on the end of the line and Mixon next to him it will do more to keep defenses honest then anything else they've done this off-season. Throwing as much as they did last year is not sustainable, even if they had 5 clones of Munoz on the line.
