See what I am proposing is not tanking, as it does not involve deliberately losing. You still play to win, but you also do it with a longer term view.
Get all the youngsters lots of snaps ESPECIALLY if you anticipate they will be moving into the lineup next season. This gets them seasoned now so next season they go in with practical experience.
This one you do even if Burrow was fine - break down the defense and drill them relentlessly on correct tackling technique. Also work the kids HARD on reading and reacting correctly and drill the D linemen on edge setting. Do it until they are sick and tired of it and they respond by doing it right.
This is one that will take a little time. Break down the offense and rebuild it according to what the players do well and have a coherent identity in there. Bring in an offensive "consultant" with actual success in the NFL for this also. This will also extend to the draft where we might want to go G early and if a good one is there get us a true FB. And set up the plays so the OL can attack and use their size and power to impose their will instead of reacting and falling back. Also restructure the route tree and the routes themselves to help receivers get open. Make the life of the QB easier.
Most of this can be done while still playing to win.
