We're the only team in this division without a pass rush and it shows. Whether that's draft or free agency I'm not sure, but that has to be priority #1B this off-season with getting Burrow an offensive line being #1A.
Agreed have to get a pass rush going on, it IS our 2nd biggest weakness behind O-line IMO.

I have always soured on teams that overpay DBs when they have jack for pass rush. If you gave me a choice of a terrorizing DE or guided missile OLB or a shutdown corner, I'd take the DE or OLB any day. I guess we gotta talk about OLBs since we using more 3-4 looks.
Well said, nice post. Get an End or a terrorizing OLB and Draft trenches. This is the way to build the team around Burrow rather
than overpaying for a CB. Even though I do like WJ3 and I am a bit skeptical of Waynes if we get a good pass rush it will cover
up our back end as Alpha says. Would rather pay Alexander and keep him around. Damn good Slot corner, I really like Alexander.
