Hopefully Burrow survives the season intact.

Both run blocking and pass protection ARE better but compared to the last few seasons of awful offensive line play ANY improvement is visible to the eye. The line is playing better but are they good enough?

Absolutely not.

Both guys named Joe, Burrow and Mixon, aren’t getting enough from the offensive line yet. As Big Boss says, short yardage situations are iffy at best and Joe Burrow is still getting knocked around like a crash test dummy.

What I have yet to see in both run blocking and in pass protection or sustained blocks. On run plays guys push their assigned defender once then stand around. On pass plays they don’t remain engaged with their assigned defender.
