numbers. I heard someone ranked LSU's O-line #1 in the nation which was just crazy. Joe Burrow made that O-line look
much better than it actually was. I don't think he will have a problem behind our O-line if they keep improving and I highly
doubt they do not improve with Jonah and XSF added after last year.
But yeah, will have to run more Shotgun and adapt to that LSU/Saints system. Still can run it out of the Shotgun.
I believe this, combined with the addition of XSF and Jonah Williams (and a potential battle at RG with Adeniji and RT with Hart/Johnson), is why the Bengals didn't go after Josh Jones over the WR. Dalton had a quick release, but his mobility was below average. He always seemed to vacate to the right and rarely stepped up in to the pocket. This is one of the characteristics I love most about Burrow is how he shuffles around the pocket avoiding the rush but keeps his cool and his eyes downfield.
