Regardless though, they have some serious issues with the cap and their starting defense. Plus, they don't have much depth on that side of the ball either, it sounds like.
I think they probably still win their division next season, but they won't be good enough to beat either CIN or KC. Might not be able to beat JAX in 2023 either.

Is there something about QB coaches-turned-OCs that makes them forget about the OL? I know that's why they have an OL coach, but as the coordinator they clearly have to be involved with works best for the players they have.
It just seems like there's been a run of these former QBs and/or exclusive QB coaches who are now OCs (or OCs who became HCs). Reich, Nagy, Pederson, O'Connell, Taylor, Dorsey, Kafka...
And there's nothing necessarily wrong with that, but it does mean you can't just sit in your office messing around with the playbook all day. At some point you have to get your hands dirty with the OL, and I feel like so many of these guys just seem to be really hands off when it comes to that stuff.
