Will it be after Myles Garrett and Z’Darius Smith abuse your team’s “major upgrades” at T?

Or will it be when you see how much money your superstars cost when they get off their rookie contracts?
You had your shot, Bud. You missed it.

There are no 7 step drops in this offense. Bengals are (T) 2nd in percentage of shotgun snaps and it's all pre-snap reads and timing. I've posted the stats for when Burrow had a decent offensive line last year, before injuries. Top rated QB in the NFL and only sacked 24 times in 12 games, which includes one game of 5 sacks.
The last 2 years he's played behind a bottom 5 offensive line in the playoffs each time and made a super bowl and another AFCCG. As bad as you say OBj is, he's still better than what they had.
The only thing keeping the Bengals from being the 2x defending champs right now is a really shitty, not just bad or average, offensive line. As long as they're healthy, this offense will be fine.
