Improving the offensive line will allow for more checkdown options for Joe Burrow.
Here’s how: If the center, guards, and tackles do their job then it frees a tight end or a running back to become the checkdown receiver. Right now Joe needs the tight end and running back to backfill the big five up front who aren’t able to provide adequate pass protection. Free those guys up to run shallow checkdown routes and life will immediately improve.
Joe isn’t “causing” sacks per se.
