Will We Ever Go All-In On Our O-Line?

I hope so brother because I think Burrow, Chase, and Tee would absolutely dominate the league.

2. We just set the record last year for most losses while scoring 33+.

1. Mike Brown never used to but I hope that this "new" front office does or at least our coaches can convince them that it's the only thing holding us back from a championship.

2. Yeah and that was with Burrow taking the fifth most sacks, the most knockdowns (by a large margin), and one of the highest hurry rates, so imagine how good we could be if we had an IOL.

This is even more obvious for the Bengals since they have invested so much $ into their skill position players - forces them to build the O line through the draft.

Yeah Mike never really prioritized drafting anything other than big names at the big positions (with a few exceptions) and never prioritized the trenches, which is where games are still won.

Look at how well Burrow has performed and think about it we can give him an offensive line to protect him before his body gets destroyed.

I know it's not as easy as snapping your fingers but let's hope we can put some effort into it and get it done.
