The OTs are in a tough spot, honestly.
Adeniji has been struggling since taking over as starter at RT.
1 sack but 10 total pressures in the past 3 games.
He has better athleticism though that probably suggests he'd be better at LT than RT, assuming the left side has the speedier, but less powerful edge guy.
Carman wasn't getting pushed back on skates like we've seen with Adeniji at times, but man...he is not athletic enough to recover whenever defenders spin, shake, or really anything other than try to bull rush.
If Smith gets passed over in favor of Adeniji and Carman, I have 0 confidence he'd be any better than them.
I can't in good conscience recommend Prince either, as he was atrocious last year.
We're probably going to just have to hope that these guys can do just enough to reduce the pass rush enough and that Taylor/Callahan can scheme so that Burrow isn't having to rely on being upright for 4+ seconds on most pass attempts.

Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
Sorry for Party Rocking!
