In that game.
.There are QBs in the league with statistically worse lines than us that have remained healthy..Many on this board including you I believe knowing our line advocated for Burrow to start and not sit at start of season.
Sacks don’t tell the whole story. He was being hit a ridiculous amount as well.
And ofc I advocated for him to start, but certainly not for him to be on pace for a record number of attempts as a rookie. Especially behind such a bad OL. An offensive genius like ZT should have focused more on balancing out the offense, instead of asking his rookie QB to throw it 40-60x a game.
