It’s no miracle that Hart started “playing better” the coaches finally started keeping a RB in to block and putting a TE on his side to chip. Just do that with Adeniji, he’ll be serviceable. Once they stopped doing so much 5 WR empty backfield crap, all the sudden the line got better and Burrow got better.

In particular once they had Gio back next to Burrow things improved. Gio is probably the best pass protecting back in the NFL and with him back there one blitzer or one leaker through the line wasn't death to the play anymore.

Fred should've been the starting RT since day 1 anyways.

Fred has COVID.  Is he back already?  He needs to be practicing if he is not back...that is the only reason I would say Adeniji over Fred right now.  Plus, the steelers are his old team so I think he might like a shot at them.

I think I heard he could be cleared by the Saturday but if he is cleared, he won't have practiced for two weeks. Don't think it would be smart to start him in that circumstance and would expect him to be active as a back-up only (and only then because they are short of Ts).
