There were two PLAYOFF teams that allowed more sacks than the Bengals this season. One was the Seahawks with a QB who can escape pressure regularly. Mixon was 2nd in the NFL in rushing yards after the bye week and a scheme change. The line gets first round pick Jonah Williams next year who Saban called his most talented player his senior year. Add Williams and a better RT with a QB who has pocket awareness and some escapability, and things are NOT dire straits here.
I can vouch for that -- furthermore Wilson wasn't even as agile as he has been in years past due to him working harder at improving his skills as a pocket passer this season as well as last. His legs aren't as good as they used to be even though they're still good. I think Burrow could pull off not having a decent O-Line in the same way Wilson has for the last 4 years.
