2023, injuries to Joe burrow severely limited the offense. It was only a 2 game sample, when burrow/mostly everyone was healthy, but the bills/niners only accounted for 4 sacks total.
Idk, I’m more optimistic this year. Could be a fallacy, but just where I am at.
Injuries will happen.
Question is is the depth there to compensate for it?
It hasn't been there in years past.
While unproven, at least Mims gives some optimism for depth at the OT positions.
I'm not expecting elite play out of either of the Browns though, but I do expect at least solid play.
IOL is probably what I'm concerned about.
Karras and Cappa are solid, but it's real questionable behind them. Will Matt Lee and/or Trey Hill be up to the task if called upon?
And last...Volson. Is he the Volson we saw the second half of last season, or will he regress back to the mediocre-at-best Volson we've come to know?
We'll have to see, but I don't see any stud performers on the OL right now.
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. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
