So ill start off by saying im not at smart as a lot of guys on this board when it comes to certain things, but one thing i have read a lot of is how Burrow is responsible for quite a few sacks, and obviously our Oline needs some work, but is it really that far away from being serviceable? it seems most want a complete overhaul, But im looking at this (and im tossing random numbers, cause i dont know the real ones) lets say burrow could have avoided 7-8 of the 51 sacks he took last season (2021) and lets say Reiff didnt get hurt, and having him in there could have prevented another 5 sacks now youre down to 38 from 51, and then there is spain maybe he could have prevented 1-2 from occuring. Now im not saying we dont need OL help. but i dont believe we need to replace the whole line. I would like to keep some $ and resign Bates. and help the defense as well. What about J.C Jackson to replace Waynes, and not resign Apple. I could be way off here, but i just dont think we need a complete new line. I hate to use the word serviceable, but I just dont think we need to spend every penny available on the Oline like a lot of guys here. You could say we got thrashed by LA in the SB because of our line, and you wouldnt be wrong, but their D thrashed everyone. If those numbers i mentioned were able to be attained, that would literally put Burrow in the middle of the pack, or average if you will of the 2021 sack totals.
