The point. The focus should have been on the line. Building from the inside out. Burrow injury history hurts our long term success and while Chase (ignoring the defense in the playoff's) may have gotten that quick fix, if Burrow's career is shortened which would you want? Consistent winning or that 1 run.
But again, this thread isn't about Sewell.
So my argument stands, if we didn't have to buy a line (both sides of the ball), we could have bought receivers.
Penei Sewell would not have been as successful in Cincy as he has been in Detriot this is without question.
After 3 years in the league watching both Ja'Marr Chase and Penei Sewell you can get the idea what makes them special and even though Penei Sewell is a great pass protector the thing that makes him an elite caliber OT is he is a real weapon in the Lions rush offense. The Bengal's and Burrow's offensive spread em out high flying offense would be the exact opposite offense to showcase Sewell's best talents. If your a Burrow Homer stop reading now because you won't like this next part... Jared Goff is a better under center play action QB than Joe Burrow he's one of the best in the league from dropping under center. Everything about the Lions offense fits Sewell and the Bengals just doesn't
Also if the Bengals had gone Sewell they would have used the same though process they used for Chase when they took Terrace Marshall in the second round.
Side Note: I'm trying to get my niece who goes to WVU to hold a sign that says "Adam Schefter sucks hair monkey balls!" for thr Pat McAfee live show I'm morgantown but she's not going for it.... Even offed a Benjamin.
