Very true. This is the area I expect us to really improve, similar to how Burrow improved so much in his long ball accuracy.
When you see jumps in these areas for players from year to year it shows you have young, smart players.
Same with Hubbard and his jump in run stopping the year before and pass rushing this last year and in the Playoffs.

Oh, a good run game will undoubtedly help.

Bad O-line is the culprit. With the additions of Cappa, Karras and La'el Collins we should be so much better now.
