The team simply needs better talent in front of Burrow.  Jonah gave up a league high number of sacks, Volson struggled and Collins was inconsistent and often injured.  Those 3 spots on the O-line need addressed before next season or else it's going to be the same thing as the last 2 years.  Burrow getting hit left and right with little time to let routes develop with virtually no running game expecting Burrow to make miracles.

To be fair there was a lot of change at the position. They were really awful early on, got significantly better as the season went on then suddenly we were smacked with injuries bad late in the year.

Also Jonah got hurt what a few games into the season as well?

I'm not against picking up new pieces, but our starters if they stay healthy aren't bad. My biggest question mark is RT, but I feel like if Carman is going to play like he did in the playoffs then him and Jonah can be the book end tackles next year. Just got to hope one of the 2 can play on the right side.

Also Volson played solid IMO and people are wanting to kick him to the bench?
