The line was bad even when everyone was healthy. If we think we can roll in to next season keeping Spain at LG, Hopkins at C, Reiff at RT and just replaing Adeniji at RG and this line is going to even be mediocre, we are going to see Burrow get hurt. The problems on the Oline were not just because of Adeniji or Reiff getting hurt. They were bad in the regular season and severely exposed in the playoffs

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.
LA's defense is really good. If we had even a decent Oline we win the Super Bowl. Nobody here is talking about making this Oline elite. Most every free agent being talked about has PFF grades in the 70s. This is not elite level talent were are talking about bringing in, it is just upgrading the horrible talent we have now on the O-line to make the line acceptable.
