No team can afford that. We have added some damn good proven vets to the OL though which will make us much better.
Truth, same with La'el Collins. Dude was extremely talented but was an UDFA.
Who knows how good Cordell Volson will become or Jackson Carman if his back is alright.
Yes, all the OL we brought in are good pass blockers but are fantastic, mean, technically sound run blockers.
Our running game could be #1 in the NFL this season with these guys added. Already like Jonah, Carman and Volson's run
blocking too. Glass eaters on down the line just like Pollack said he wanted.
What character issues are you talking about 3wt? La'el? He is the only one that has ever had them on this OL?
Yep, Defenses are no longer going to be able and just stop the run and pin their ears back and get after Burrow like the
last couple years. They will have to respect the run game and with better pass protection we just don't know how good Joe
Burrow can be, I have no idea how good this Offense can be honestly. Cannot wait.

To be fair LC and Trey Smith are aberrations. LC was easily a Top 10 pick if not for his GF being murdered. Smith was projected a 1st or early 2nd rounder from early in his college career until the medical issue surfaced.
