People have no understanding of subtly. Of course they were going to say they were satisfied with the line. Do you honestly expect the coaches to stand in front of the press and the fans and the line sucked last year? Only a coach who is a fool and who wants to lose his locker room would throw his players under the bus.
Even after the SB when reporters brought up , Taylor wouldn't bag on them, but said "they got us here." So many clueless folks went off on that....the chicken littles came out in droves. And what did we do? We signed 3 new quality or better starters, which says two things....#1 The FO isn't clueless and #2 - Zach is not going to throw players under the bus regardless of performance. And if you can't learn to read between those lines then you and others like you are going to be upset.....a lot.
So after going with the line and having your #1 pick QB get his knee shredded it's not time to fix the line. But when you do the minimum then give up a league high in sacks and give up what I can only imagine is a post season record. While that same #1 QB is hobbled multiple times along the way. The fans that bought into that coaching staff are stupid for listening to their lies but also stupid for questioning the draft?
They brought in 3 guys while releasing one and drafting a 4th rounder. Not saying that's not good and I'm not excited for this team. But I think we could do more and probably owe Burrow more after the beating we've allowed him to take after the last 2 seasons. Maybe the way the draft fell is out of our hands but we shouldn't just accept that as a team. We should be signing someone like Tretter or possibly making a trade with a team.
