It's taken time as we should have expected, but we are starting to reap the benefits of good coaching. The line is far more in sync than Turner ever had it and is far more disciplined. It even goes to how they frustrated Watt last week which was interesting - help the OT with a chip but also they had a receiver or back coming out of the backfield who in essence "chipped" Watt again, preventing him from really using straight line speed to attack the QB. I expect a similar approach to Bosa.
Yes the talent on the line has improved in part courtesy of the picks we invested in the line which have rebuilt the depth chart but also courtesy of Spain transforming LG from a major issue into a strength and Riley Reiff being a large upgrade at RT. But the upgrade in coaching is also a big factor - Burrow has pockets and time the vast majority of his drop backs and didn't before - a damning indictment of Turner.
