Obviously the OL is still a work in progress, and needs to continue to improve, but the fact is they have improved. Our weakest link right now is Hopkins, who used to be one the best we had.
But just throwing out the numbers without any context is something I’d expect from the national media, or fans of other teams. Not someone who watches every snap. The narrative that this OL is getting Joe killed is just flat out false. They’re playing like a middle of the pack unit right now.
Hell, if we’re just going to throw out numbers; Mayfield has been sacked only one less time than Burrow, and the Browns have arguably the best OL in the league. Joe and Baker have the exact same # of attempts btw.
You can have 5 All Pros out there, it’s not going to make Perine a better blocker, or make Burrow give up on plays and throw the ball away when he should. Context. I don’t know why we can’t want them to continue to improve, while still acknowledging they have been playing better.
Anyway, isn’t this thread about Ja’Marr Chase?
