It has been criminal of this organization the amount of hits Burrow has taken in his career (that blames goes on EVERYONE in that building). These next few hires are crucial for the future of this team and fan base. O line coach, d coordinator and d line coach has to be guys that prioritize the lines!!! Have to control the lines to allow Joe to work and our linebackers and secondary to play. Any secondary in the NFL is gonna suck behind this d line that generates zero pressure. Heres to a hopeful brighter future and a team built to play in the AFC North
Well said Utica. You can see the best teams in the NFL and they are in the Playoffs right now. Most all are built from the inside out. It is actually
pretty amazing we nearly made the Playoffs with how bad multiple players are in our trenches even with how good Joe, Ja'Marr and Trey were.
Imagine this team built like the Eagles in the trenches, or the Lions when they are healthy....
It is essential in bringing in the right trench coaches this time around to put us over the top. So happy Hobby and Pollack are gone.
