- Joe Burrow’s rookie season ended with an injury, how can the Bengals protect him more in 2021?
Ja’Marr Chase Scouting Report: • Why Ja’Marr Chase lets...
This week’s film breakdown analyzes Cincinnati Bengals Quarterback Joe Burrow. Burrow’s rookie season had its ups and downs but unfortunately ended in a season-ending ACL injury in week 11. In many ways, the Bengals coach Zac Taylor did not set Burrow up to succeed, and by changing his own offensive philosophy, put Burrow in danger. Is there hope for the Bengals in 2021 and beyond with Burrow and Taylor? This episode uses the all-22 coaches film to analyze Cincinnati Bengals Quarterback Joe Burrow.

Here’s my Ja’Marr Chase Scouting Report: th-cam.com/video/FMUZHR3jHgo/w-d-xo.html
I didn’t agree with the Bengals choosing a receiver, but I definitely like that they got Chase!
This is just what the doctor ordered I mean Joe Burrow what a way to end his amazing rookie season and can will back back soon 100% healthy hppefully
This video is garbage. We have enough talent right now, that i guarantee we will put this video deep in the dusty cracks of youtube where it belongs. Just ask Frank Pollack. I see you forgot to add him into the video. Arguably the most important addition this off season. Check the history books. Burrow will light it up this year once he shakes the rust.
Great in depth look...really helped me understand the problem better
@@danielelad1823 Appreciate it Daniel!
@@matthewgrundy3366 The history books haven't been kind to you my friend
As a chargers fan, it was heartbreaking watching him get hurt. The shot for shot with him and herbert each week was awesome to watch. Can't wait to see them face off next szn
Give the Chargers Burrow and they win a ring immediately!
No worry. Their new Left Tackle JaMarr Chase will protect him.
they HAVE a left tackle MORON Jonah Williams learn to read a bit before you post stupid shit
Show some respect to Riley Reiff
@@Argos-xb8ek Jonah Williams*
Yeah prob not but actually having a line coach that isn't a piece of trash who doesn't know how to develope a modern NFL protection scheme for empty sets will. But hey..it's def WAAAY easier to just say offensive line competence fell entirely on drafting Sewell, so I get it. I mean who wants or needs to actually THINK about it 🥴
That made me die!!! Thanks man 😂
I like how Jonah Williams is the only linemen putting a some fight
Anddddd hes hurt..
@@dylanf3108 and yet he's still a better left tackle than Sewell
Don’t forget Hopkins. The only decent linemen last year.
@@FeletiVaea tore his ACL in week 17..
@@Count.Ravioli Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahaha
Joe Burrow might be the next Andrew Luck. A number 1 overall pick with sky high potential ravaged by injuries because of inaction to protect him.
His o line isn’t even THAT bad anymore, he has an average o line, he will be fine.
@@michaeldavid145 idk an acl injury is no joke look what happend to Carson Wentz
@@michaeldavid145 No, it is THAT bad.
@@kidpresident_06 It isn't.
@@michaeldavid145 didn’t bro tear his ACL and MCL?
Protect this man at all costs!
I'm gonna be so sad if he ends up having a career like RG3's.
I'll be so mad and sad at the same time
Joe burrow is too good of a passer, he doesn’t need mobility
I'm a long time Bengals fan, who also coincidentally went to school in Athens, and if they ruin his career due to lack of protection, I will burn or sell all of my Bengals apparel.
RGIII's game was predicated on the RPO and qb run option...once he was hurt and didnt have the mobility he was done. It was inevitable that he was going to get hurt...if you use a QB like a HB you are an idiot.
He is more like Carson Palmer than RG3. Burrow is a good pocket passer and has a similar demeanor to Carson. Burrow will be good no matter where he goes, but for Bengals fans' sake, I hope the organization does not make the same mistakes as they did when Carson was around.
Joe Burrow's football IQ is definetly impressive. I certainly agree that Zac Taylor and the front office failed him. I love Chase but Sewell would have filled the waaaay bigger need. Hope Burrow will get a decent Oline at some point.
The OL is decent. Part of the reason he got hit so much is because the line was so injured throughout the season. Getting them healthy, plus adding Carmen and reiff, plus adding frank pollack will definitely make the OL much better than people will realize
@Bananacut still getting penei would have been a better pickup as he looks like a generational talent and WR are easier to draft in the second round
@Bananacut I think Julio was, not to discredit your point.
Calvin Johnson and Julio Jones, both are huge and fast receivers. When they have those physical talents, it is easy to see they will be great. Chase is only 6'1" , he has the speed but not nearly the size to warrant a high pick.. Bengals screwed up biggly..
@@Sebastian-vp9cb AJ green was picked over Julio
The pride of my LSU Tigers. Been saying all offseason i would love to see the Burrow, Chase reunion but they should/ve taken Sewell. You have to protect your investment first and foremost.
Eff the Bengals forever, how did they not draft a LT after your QB got injured the year before due to protection issues. I hope the ravens sack burrow 12 times injure him & burrow quits the Bengals.
@@courtlandwilliams2275 wtf is your problem. You shouldn't wish injuries on anybody that's despicable
@@courtlandwilliams2275 calm down dude! Looks like Bengals are happy with their pick.
@@CodeineAbdulJabbar come on now. As an LSU fan, how could you not see this pick changing the Bengals ?
@@s0ldieralways they already had a bunch of good weapons I just thought they really needed to protect burrow. He got hurt because of his piss poor o-line
"Welcome to the NFL."
In college, you can become the #1 pick. In the NFL, that stuff just doesn't fly anymore and you have to do something better.
Great video Alex.
Right!! Can't just copy and paste. Watch Burrow's LSU film, he was still getting hit a lot after the ball was out.. sketchy stuff. Thanks Paul!
I feel like hitting on Penei Sewell and a 2nd Round WR is easier than hitting on Ja'Marr Chase and a 2nd Round LT.
I'm just gonna hang this comment in the louvre Zach
Of course it is, but the Bengals think like the Bengals.
Now carman the tackle they drafted to be a guard isnt starting one week into preseason we are witnessing talent being wasted
@OldTakesExposed
Wrong
I like how people don’t talk about how the line got better all year. The game he was injured for instance the o line was actually playing great until the accident.
Our current starting OL combined for 6 total sacks, when burrow was sack 32 times. No one wants to talk about how injured we were too
@@jwash5784 Your line is still ass... Keeping talking yourself into thinking passing on Sewell and Slater was the correct move..
@@arcajeth626 how can you say our line is bad when you cant even name who starts. How can you have an opinion on a team that don’t follow. 🤷🏾♂️
@@arcajeth626 then tell me your arguments. I dont care what you think, i want numbers. Keep in mind. Most of the line was hurt. We had on play 2nd and 3rd stringers.
@@harambe894 next season will either prove me right or wrong. I really like Joe Burrow so I hope I am wrong, but I doubt I am..
If Joe Burrow keeps getting obliterated, it will be a massive loss for everyone
Who's here after the Bengals won the AFC North?
A 2nd round Olinemen is going to fix all of this, dont worry
At the guard spot? Where the Bengals actually needed help? Maybe lol good thing they aren’t relying on just ONE second round lineman tho lol stfu
@@bckfrmthded i get it, we both want the best for Burrow, but dont take it so hard. Sewell could slide into guard btw
@@LaMarcGasoldridge So take a generational tackle and slide him to guard? I like how y’all just assume it’ll work
@@LaMarcGasoldridge how do you even know he can play guard well
Why y'all getting mad at a shitpost lol
Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins weren't enough I guess. Brutal decision I think. My lions got a sicko tackle tho 😘
They both are awful trying to get separation deep and they slow
Sewell will be an all time great, bank on it..
@@kbailey5867 lol everyone just thinks adding Sewell would just fix all the problems 😭 he doesn’t even fit what we needed at the moment anyways. Tee and Boyd are great but both run like a 4.5 or 4.6 which would be the slowest receiving core in the league. Adding chase will just help everyone play to their best abilities since they won’t smother them and stack the box
@@JRadiCal33 if you just needed someone fast, you don't use the number 5 overall pick on it. Higgins and Boyd are great receivers, it's rarely an important trait for a wide receiver to have to be extremely fast.
@@mobbinReelDeep fac
Great content as always. Watching Burrow I knew he was good and doing good things, but really getting to know exactly what he's doing and why that's great is awesome. Hope to god the OLine gets better with what they did and this man recovers and plays great again.
Thanks Mateo bro! I hope so too.. I hope it's just a weird blip in his career. He can't develop with the kind of pressure/OL play he had in year 1
Poor Joe... He was still amazing though!
I think the Bengals have improved on the offensive line. Getting Riley Reiff was a quality signing. And drafting Jackson Carman and Trey Hill to rebuild the interior to go along with Trey Hopkins was great value. I don’t think the Bengals messed up by not drafting Sewell because the tackles were not the problem, it was the interior. Michael Jordan isn’t a starting caliber lineman, Billy Price is a certified bust, and Quinton Spain is clearly washed. Jackson Carman is most likely better off at guard, and Trey Hill is a VERY underrated player. He should compete with Spain for the right guard spot. Think I’m wrong? Go watch his tape against Derrick Brown. It’s damn impressive. I think they’ll be better on the offensive line, while Burrow gets his right hand man back. It’s a win-win.
Not drafting Penei Sewell because you signed Riley Reiff to a one year contract (void year) is why bad teams stay bad
Riley Reiff on a 1 year contract shouldn’t stop you from drafting a franchise LT in Sewell or even Slater. Yeah you now have quality on the offensive line, but if you want to go empty like Taylor wanted to do early in the season last year (even with the dialing back they were still the team that used that formation type the most) the offensive line needs to be strength, and more importantly, the tackles need to be a strength. Riley Reiff and Jonah Williams isn’t a strength. You draft Sewell and he doesn’t perform as well as Reiff or Williams outside. That’s alright, he can be a very good swing tackle and you have enough depth to keep a talent like Sewell on the bench or he can be an all-pro level guard (something I don’t think Carman can be). Especially in a division with Myles Garrett, TJ Watt, and Baltimore, offensive line should always be a priority in that division. You could still build the interior later in the draft if you take a OT at 5 and you could’ve gotten Dyami Brown or Terrace Marshall (who is an LSU receiver with a connection to Burrow) in the second and then you turn the offensive line into a dominant one and you can run any type of formations or concepts you want
@@OSUFilm It wasnt JUST Reiff, clown
@@bckfrmthded yeah and rieff ain’t that good he was the worst lineman on the Vikings last year which says a lot
The addition of Frank Pollack is also huge. The former o-line coach was clearly not fit for the job.
IMO the Bengals didn’t do enough to solve the o-line like the Chiefs and Chargers, but they will be significantly improved. Their last o-line coach was regarded horribly by the league. Frank Pollack on the other hand is one of the best. Also their 2 weakest links Michael Jordan and Bobby Hart won’t touch the field. Quinton Spain and Riley Reiff are huge upgrades. As long as they have continuity, I think the line should play closer to average.
shhhhh no logic here, Sewell was literally the only way for the line to improve
Uh the KC line has been drastically upgraded. Idk what you are talking about there
@@ericsnyder5427 sorry if it was unclear I said the Bengals should’ve upgraded the oline as drastically as the Chiefs and Chargers
@@biznichin13 You dont take a wr over a possible HOF LT, the Bungles are the Bungles..
@@biznichin13 look up the meaning of literal.
The Way Bengals fans talk about Riley Reiff you’d think he’s an all pro
Passing on Sewell because of signing Riley Reiff to a one year deal is just mind boggling.
Not to mention Jonah Williams the left tackle has played 10 games out of 32. I don’t get it
Just to select a Wide Receiver 5th overall. When statistically you have better chance ti find a stud receiver later. Stud tackles go in the first round.
Chase was the pick, I don't see how people think one rookie o lineman was going to fix everything on the line. There is weaknesses everywhere and it takes time for the o line to mesh and become one unit. If chase is good enough to help get the ball out of burrows hands quickly, then then that's an immediate help.
People are legit retarded thinking Sewell would just save the oline.🤦🏾♂️
@@hustlasink8960 Its not about saving the oline in year one, its about building the line around Sewell. That's how successful franchises win superbowls. You build from the trenches. The Bucs last year proved to everybody that beating the Chiefs is done through the trenches of both Oline and Dline. Bucs drafted Wirfs and Wirfs becomes the best RT in the league, protecting Tom Brady.
What happened to Burrow happens to a lot of QBs the list is long I wish coaches stop acting like QBs can survive in a bad game plan
Sup Luke lol
Bengals fan here, I agree.
At least the Chargers and Lions did the right thing.
And Chiefs
@@ChiefBlue4298 LOL Packers passing on Creed Humphrey for Josh Myers will always be a 💀💀💀💀💀 but I'm a Lions fan so I enjoy watching Packer fans weep over the stupid draft selections their front office do.
Great video! Thanks Alex!
Appreciate that Moises!
here's the thing about this year's draft class, the OL class was insanely deep, so the bengals could afford to take chase, who burrow already has incredible chemistry with, at 5 and wait to take an OL at 38 because a 1st round-caliber prospect was bound to fall to them, you could make the argument taking jackson carman at 38 was the wrong move, but the strategy was at the very least sound
Jackson Carman would have been drafted day 3 if the Bungals didn't draft him
*Sam darnold has entered the chat*
On the post at 6:20 if that was Ja’Marr Chase hed be gone. Dude brings what higgins and boyd dont. Speed and separation. Penei Sewell wasnt the only option thats just being ignorant.
Penei was the best option by far
Still the most impressive rookie I’ve ever seen considering the circumstances!!
Andrew Luck?
huge fan of the guy. It hurt me to watch him take that lick from chase on that goal line run even as a WFT fan.
He's a freaking warrior! Toughness is not the issue whatsoever
As a lifelong Browns fan and a resident of Ohio I hope Cincinnati doesn't ruin this kid. I'd luv to see Burrow vs. Mayfield because the Roethlisberger vs. Flacco of the 2020s.
Same!
Excellent video. Great job with analysis and narration.
Much appreciated Patrick!
Amazing. love this content. I am learning a lot about the sport, now is my favorite. I am from Colombia and started watching nfl a few years ago.
Que bueno! Si tienes una pregunta, mensajeme por Twitter @AlexRollinsNFL!
No excuse, When your the 1st over pick QB you either show some promise and lead your team to the playoffs or your just another replacement like Bradford, Winston/mariota, and possibly kyler Murray. Cam, luck, wentz/Goff, and mayfield all got it done by year 3. Don’t give me that “joe has no help”. If he’s the real deal he’ll take the bengals to the next level. Right now, the bungals knows it’s already a 50/50 they sign joe after his rookie contract. He’s one injury away from possibly never seeing the field again. Cincy did a poor job by buying into the hype of burrow. If they had a brain they would of sign a veteran and let burrow learn especially after a one year wonder in college who had possibly the greatest wr duo ever in chase, Jefferson, and marshall. IF, and I’m pretty sure the bengals will be picking in the top ten for he next couple years, joe will be out of cincy and possibly become one of those good old TH-cam stories about “what if/has been”.
Burrow is the real deal, but he's playing for the Bungals who for some odd reason refused to give Burrow any help whatsoever during his rookie year. This is suppose to be their franchise player but they are not setting him up for success. I don't know what is the agenda of Mike Brown, but winning isn't one of them. You are talking about the worst owner in NFL history.
Do the bengals not understand how terrible of an organization they are? 32 sacks cause your QB to literally get hurt for the rest of the season and your first round pick is a WR?! In yet another deep ass wide receiver class?! Let’s not mention you don’t have an indoor practice facility!!!!
It's hard to watch. Hopefully their offseason OL acquisitions prove us wrong
Bengals did draft Carman Jackson, the Left tackle out of Clemson that protected Trevor's blindside while he was there, in the second round.
We also drafted 2 other solid linemen in the later rounds, also we signed Reiff in FA.
We also fired our previous line coach, Turner and hired Frank Pollack which was definitely the biggest upgrade in terms of improving our oline.
I feel confident in our oline this year.
They've certainly made changes, but I'm not sure how big the improvements are. I'm hopeful Pollack will work wonders, but I'm skeptical
6-25-1 record as HC? Yikes. Maybe the GM position should be looked at aswell for keeping him around. Matt Patricia had a better record (slightly) and got fired mid season. Feel bad for Bengals fans.
Very good video keep up the work
Thank you brother!
Starting Tackle wasn't even a need going into the draft. Line will me better just because of Frank Pollack
Only about 5 teams in the NFL can claim LT isnt a need if they are in a position to pick Sewell and the Bengals arent among them.. Miles freaking Garrett is going to eat your lunch twice a year for the foreseeable future.
They have Reiff on a one year deal and Williams is injury prone it’s a need and you can easily push one of those guys into guard. Penei takes the RT position from average to great and Reiff takes the LG position from terrible to average boom I just upgraded two positions in one.
Good rookie qbs don't save franchises when the franchise expects them to do all by themselves
Man I remember when I was a freshman in HS I got sacked 8 times in the first half of the game. One of the stud athletes I played against was Golden Tate. I went to Lawrence County High School we played Giles County every year. He was a running back. And he did everything for his team. His level of talent was so far above everyone else on the field it is kind of humbling to see a guy like that was an above average NFL receiver. Guy was a freak of nature. If he got in the open field there wasn't a player out there that could catch him.
Thanks for sharing that man, must have been awesome/awful to play against him! What's crazy is every NFL guy is like that, the best of the best
One reason I couldn't stand watching Mike McCarthy's offensive scheme his last 5 years in Green Bay was because of the unbelievable frequency that the Packers offense was in 5 wide. 1st and 10? Yep. 2nd and 15? Yep. 2nd and 5? You bet! 3rd and 10? Most likely. 3rd and long? Count on it! 3rd and 2? "The defense will never see it coming!" 4th and... anything? Of course.
The good offensive line covered for so much shit play calling.
Dallas, Dakota Preacott, look out... The one thing you can count on McCarthy believing, AND believing more after his "self scout" is that the Highly Successful NFL Coach can only be correct. Any other view is so wrong it's insulting.
If Jonah and Carman can get their shit together this season, atleast the tackles are gonna be able to block
Bengals fan terrify me. How they aren’t FURIOUS right now makes me think the entire city of Cincinnati knows literally nothing about football. I used to think they deserved better, but now I’m not so sure they deserve burrow if they’re gonna support him getting his cheeks separated on a weekly bases. Like do they not know they have to face the BROWNS, STEELERS, and RAVENS defense every year?!?
Bengals fans are used to incompetence. Until 2013 the Bengals had only one scout. They currently have only 7.
To sum up what Alex is saying is, Burrow's injury was due to the empty set that was abandon week six and even though Joe wasn't hurt til week 11, really wasn't a factor.
iow, Alex talking in circles again..
Can you do a video on route running? I'd love to see it!
Check out any of my WR episodes!
This is like when Freddie kitchens tried to turn the browns into the chiefs even though they were a team built for the run game. It's completely ignoring your needs and not knowing your personal. Do the Bengals need another WR? Sure but really with the 5th pick in a STACKED wr class when you desperately need oline?
I don’t think it’s really that cause stefanski was giving baker a lot more pure dropbacks and less play action later in the season and the offense got better but kitchens had a very very short gameplan with a “fuck it” mentality. Worst decision when your qb was bruised, wrs just went through offseason surgery. Little to no consistency with that offense if your trying to get a rhythm going for passing
Bengals signed OL, drafted an OL in the 2nd, and got a proven OL coach. If they kept their WR trio of Boyd, Higgins, then Tate that would be maybe the 25th best receiving corps in the NFL. Chase gives them a chance to be near the top instead of scraping the bottom.
This is literally the most tired and lazy argument ever. Anyone who flatly states that the Bengals are trash for passing on Sewell is just showing how little they know about football and how much they watch espn. Why are they not trashing the Dolphins too? They picked a worst WR over Sewell and had a worst OLine than the bengals last year. And the bengals removed their two biggest liabilities from the starting lineup. When Burrow got hurt, they were on their backup to the backups in interior Oline. They added a 2nd rounder, who was projected by some to be the second best GUARD prospect in the draft and signed Reilly Reiff. They aren't world beaters, but they are remarkably better than they were at some points last year. And again, if you had actually watched the bengals, those were the two worst players on the Oine. Also, none of their receivers were getting separation. if you had watched entire bengals games, you would see Burrow had extremely tight windows to throw to, and Chase will be a huge help for that.
Did you know that AJ Green got 104 targets last year and caught less than half of those? That is who Chase is replacing. Did everyone want to see the other Micheal Thomas getting 104 targets? Or Auden Tate? Those guys aren't NFL recievers. And we needed someone who could come in and play and contribute right away, which Chase can do and it's a much lower percentage on if a second rounder could do it, especially since a large majority of the 2nd round recievers were slot WRs, exactly what the Bengals already have. They needed a good X receiver. And now they got one.
I think the Chase pick worked out…
Zac Taylor should never have been hired and the Bengals should be given to an owner who actually cares and is willing to spend money.
Burrow has blame too. this is the NFL, not some college bullcrap. MAke the quick pass, get rid of the ball, survive the 1st year, wait for the troops.
This video breakdown is the best thing I’ve ever seen. VERY WELL DONE.
Appreciate it Jon bro!!
You should do a video analysis of Jackson Carmen. You’re obviously not sold on what he can add to the team. I’m curious as to why.
I gave Penei Sewell a higher grade than Chase and OL was an obvious position of need
@@AlexRollinsNFL that’s understandable. Where did you have Jackson Carman ranked?
you know what might help... an indoor practice facility
Lame ass joke
@@bckfrmthded it's no joke. just fact
@@TheFastfoodgaming who gives a fuck about practice facilities? You clowns focus on the dumbest shit, but won’t research a roster or free agency moves lol stfu
We have a indoor facility if the weather gets too bad that is a 10 minute bus ride away smh
WHoevers reading this I hope you have a good day and Jesus Christ loves you and died for you. God bless.
Can we get a video on the Lions potential O line being a top 5 with the addition of Sewell
They will regret passing on Sewell, it’s just so predictable
The offseason addition of Riley Reiff should help and liked the draft additions too. Frank Pollack is a way better oline coach too. Burrow is a stud. But Zac Taylor's seat is getting real warm. Maybe they can get Joe Brady?????
Reiff is on a one year deal and is decidedly very average if you get Penei you move Reiff to guard and heavily upgrade two positions.
He got hit a LOT just seeing the Eagles game in 2020 he got hit or sacked often and once was hit by an Eagles DL late
Not even a Bengals fan, though I’m from Kentucky and that’s our default setting, BUT, seeing how poorly the O Line performed last season was genuinely concerning to me. Joe is a natural star, he has nothing but talent and potential, but they’re really playing a dangerous game by giving him THAT O-line. This season better show major improvement or they’re going to ruin the value and potential of this team.
Um this aged well
No one wants to talk about how our oline was hurt all year and we got lineman in FA and the draft
People know they made some minor moves and moderately upgraded the offensive line, but we also know how great Sewell and Slater will be and the type of offensive lines all the top qbs in the league have and have had..
@@arcajeth626 that also is due to great qb play. I’m not disagreeing Sewell was the better pick, but it’s still too early to say if chase was a bad pick. Season hasn’t started yet. A lot of the time though, a great qb and receiving core can make an average oline look elite. Last I checked, the chiefs’ tackles weren’t all pro until Mahomes arrived. Not saying they weren’t good because they were, but they certainly weren’t making pro bowls every year. I’m obviously nervous heading into this season, but there’s a part of me that believes the bengals made the right long term decision in taking chase because he’s just too good of a prospect to pass up on. Sewell has a ton of potential, but there has not been a lot of Oregon prospects that have panned out in the league. Herbert is literally the exception to that rule right now. Honestly, the Bengals have done more for that line this off-season than any of the past 5 seasons. The way I see it, if they keep with this trend, the Bengals will have an electrifying offense either next year, or the year after that. Only time will tell though. I ain’t writing them off just yet for taking Chase over Sewell.
I think you need to understand that most of the pressure was from bobby hart and Michael Jordan. The cut hart and Jordan is a back up now.
And through 7 games, the difference has been amazing.
I'll hate seeing Burrow get hit.
Lmfao they really targeted Queen with there whole gameplan lol.
Anyone saying "bengals are idiots" clearly pay no attention and their opinion should be acknowledged as nothing more than that of a "casual."
Bengals have a good LT (Williams), a good center (Hopkins) and signed a decent RT in the offseason (reiff). They also have 1 decent guard (spain). Last year they had a HORRIBLE RT, williams got hurt at LT, the guard play was awful, and the o-line coach was incompetent and they fired him and brought in a good o-line coach. I wouldn't have minded Sewell at all, but I felt uneasy about selecting a generational tackle to play guard at 5 overall. Meanwhile, Bengals were last in the NFL in explosive plays last year. Higgins and Boyd are very good, but they arent amazing deep threats. Chase is an amazing deep threat and will solve the explosive play issue. People say, "It doEsnT mattER, hE wONt haVe TimE to thRoW." Except he will have more time this year, because they improved their o-line a LOT. Now they have a decent/average o-line, and a top 3-5 wr core. They draft Sewell, they still have an average o-line next year, and a mediocre wr core. I could go own for a lot more but I think most people who need to hear this dont have more than 10 brain cells.
Miles Garret says hello to your "good" left tackle and to Burrows one good knee.. Good luck...
So they improved their line (which I actually agree with) but by drafting Sewell it'd still be average? Hardly logical. Plus, it seems a lot more likely that Williams would be the one kicking inside to play guard, not Sewell lol.. Possibly even Reiff tbh, because he's clearly the weakest option of the three in that theoretical scenario 🤷🏻♂️
So.. Yes, they still improved the line and it seems many are overlooking the investments they made there simply because of the decision to draft Chase instead of Sewell.. But had they drafted Sewell it definitely significantly improves the OL, saying otherwise is absolutely ludicrous.
Besides and lastly, I wouldn't necessarily call Higgins and Boyd "mediocre" either 😳🤯😅 but adding Chase to that certainly makes this a very scary group.
Williams hasn’t even played half the games he’s been in the league lol.
Ja'Marr Chase better be a HOF receiver because the Bengals basically risked Joe Burrow's career by taking him over Penei Sewell.
Empty sets? Really? Bengals are now officially getting criticized for ruining burrow by playing to burrows strengths 😐😐😐😐😐
Being good at something in college doesn't mean it translates well to the NFL my man!
@@AlexRollinsNFL yes true, but in burrows case it did. It was still a very big strength of his in his rookie year
Empty sets weren’t something the Bengals had the personnel for lol they deserve criticism for not playing to there strengths. You have to strike a balance between what the QB does well and what the rest of your offense does well.
IM real Cincinnati BENGALS FAN 😸 IM DEAD ALL THIS BURROW OFFENSE LINE DIDNT BLOCK FOR HIM STUFF.. YOU SAYING A CHEAP SHOT 💉 BY DEFENSE PLAYER THAT INJURYED BURROW WAS THE OFFENSIVE LINE FAULT. MAN YALL HATING DONE GONE 2 whole new level.. It's bad sportsmanship from THE NFL ANALYST. I call it like see it 👍🏾🧡🤟🏾
I appreciate the leveled argumentation here, but absolutely everyone seems to be ignoring Riley Reiff. While he isn’t an All-Pro, he is *at least* average (and probably better than that). He’s a huge upgrade over Bobby Hart. The biggest failings of the line were on the constantly-injured interior from the likes of Michael Jordan and Billy Price. Those guys are not starting this season, and Penei Sewell isn’t a guard.
You have him on a one year deal and Jonah is injury prone. On top of this you don’t have to move Penei to guard but you can move one of those two (Reiff played well at guard) and then you’ve upgraded two positions. Also you could move Penei to guard which is what many great OTs did at the start of the careers easily like Ogden for instance.
I’m sorry but the Bengals have a decent o-line this year. You don’t have a solid reason to knock the Ja’Marr Chase pick cause they followed it up with Jackson Carman in the same round
They lose their franchise rookie QB to a gruesome knee injury, so what do they do? They draft a wide receiver. Such a Bengals thing to do.
Thank you bengals for your incompetence when it comes to drafting. Since y’all passed on Sewell. Rashawn slater was able to fall right to our laps without trading up to get a GREAT 1st round tackle for years to come. Now Herbert won’t be hit and sacked like he was last year. ⚡️⚡️⚡️
As a Ravens fan I’m happy too.
Shoulda taken Herbert
Can you not pretend we didn’t address the O line in FA and in the draft. Although we passed on a blue chip prospect ie. Sewell, the Bengals need is guard, not tackle. Jonah Williams is decent and don’t think he’s deserving of a demotion. So where do we play Sewell if Reiff is on the roster to play RT? Guard perhaps? Hedge our bets on an unproven guard playing out of position. Just not seeing the fit here imo.

They need a offensive lineman because Joe Burrow other knee about to be destroyed
wow. he was sacked the 2nd most in the league even after missing the last 6 games
Some freezing cold takes at the end but I enjoyed the film review!
Bengals offensive line problems are being blown way out of proportion. Dolphins line is way worse yet no one said anything once they got waddle instead of Sewell. The bengals line is completely different Aswell as nearly half of Joe’s sacks actually being coverage sacks without a true #1 receiver.
Your QB should almost NEVER be hit on a three step drop, rhythm throw, particularly when in shotgun. I saw so many hits, and far too many of those were in stride, full force, driving through the QB, but clean and legal hits, given up by the Bengals.
Hey, Cincinnati, here's a tip, whoever is going to be released by the Packers at the end of the preseason, TRADE FOR THEM before they release them!
Colts fan here. If Burrow becomes another Luck, Bengals have no one but themselves to blame. Fix that O-Line. “BuT iT’s bEtTeR tHaN lAsT sEaSoN!” Don’t care. Better doesn’t mean it’s good. Protect the quarterback and you protect the franchise and your jobs
Have to agree with another commentor that not mentioning the SINGLE BIGGEST ISSUE with their line play the past 2 years was the worthless Jim Turner who, short of throwing tantrums, insulting and hazing linemen prospects..hasn't the slightest idea on how to be an NFL line coach. Now RE enter the guy who DOES very much know how to develope an effective offensive line..add a good vet and some solid draft picks to the good ones they already have and bingo...you have a line that you won't be able to recognize effectiveness wise from the last 2 years worth of a shit show for a coach and system..period. No they got this draft and pre draft very very right as far as doing what's best for Joey B..and it's garbage to suggest that the team isn't trying to do all that OR win now now now. Absolutely ignorant to think otherwise
Joe Burrow is awesome, incredibly smart and talented. Zach Taylor is a bum, never liked him but Burrow definitely got comfortable holding onto the ball all day at LSU, he has to release the ball quicker more often. Watch how much time he had at LSU on some of his highlights 5-7 seconds, hardly happens in the nfl.
You guys are discrediting some of the work the organization has put in place to protect Joe Burrow and help the run game with the signing of Riley Reiff and the other signings we had Penei was a great tale bl t but we needed another true deep threat we've needed one since 2017. I believe that we picked up lineman good enough to plug and play
@ what point does Zac hire Ed O as an outside consultant.
It's so frustrating because the Chargers O-line was absolutely terrible too. Except they recognized their teams needs and went out and addressed ALL 5 O LINE POSITIONS in both the draft and free agency. They did it right. If on my the Bengals would do the same for Burrow
The Ja'Marr Chase pick was one of the worst picks in the draft imo. Not because I don't think Chase is an incredible talent and can be a HoF player, but because Sewell was avaliable. Burrow was 14th in QB hits and 10th in sacks and his season ended in week 11. He would have been top five in both categories if he played the full season. If the Bengals continue to rely on the passing game as heavily as they did last year, then you can never have enough WRs, but the same group that failed to protect him last year is back again. Sewell isn't going to fix that but it would have been a much needed improvement and a step in the right direction.
Every year there’s a new superstar that’s gonna take over the league, but how often do they actually do it.
He'll be fine. Main problem they had was Michael Jordan was total dogshit and there wasn't really any depth at that position. Not to mention going from Turner back to Pollack is a monumental boost to the quality of their line. Dude's a 10000x better coach than Turner.
tbh it wouldnt have been a mistake picking 5 Olinemen or 4 and a TE with their first 5 picks. No QB is good if they are injured. No qb is better than average if they are running for their life every play. Fix the damn Oline and you fix your QB and play calling.
It's borderline criminal how they utilize Burrow, with way too many drop-backs (and no run game), and fail to protect him. They are ruining a gem of a QB. Same old Bungles. They never learn.
As a Bengals fan I think Chase was 100% the better pick. Willie Anderson was working with Jackson Carman and he told Zach how much promise he has at guard. I think our o line will be fine, we replaced our two worst positions and if the line plays good I can see the bengals be a real threat in the AFC
No, they aren't ruining joe burrow, they already have 2 starting caliber tackles, and drafting sewell would make it 3, and don't give me the move over to guard bs thats just gonna be the same situation, jackson carman has experience at guard.
My guess as to why the bengals didn’t draft Sewell is just the strengths of the draft. The next one is a strong OL class while this one is a strong WR class. Now that doesn’t justify not taking a potentially generational tackle but it does make more sense that way.
I mean. His knee got injured facing the number 1 pass defense in the league that they were moving the ball against WITH a patchwork O-line. But these are the types of stories people click on because the title fits the narrative they're used to hearin.
This a poor agenda based video to make it seem like burrow will get crushed the bengals line is much better this upcoming season with a key receiver for the future. I can see us goin 9-8 WhoDey!! 🐅
Most of the sacks were coverage sacks or came from Bobby hart and Micheal Jordan both of which are buried on the depth chart. Im not saying o line is fixed but when you have the chance to take a generational type WR talent...you do it. We drafted the best overall player in the draft class that has to be a W
Shoot, I thought it was just the line that sucked. I pity those guys, everyone thinks they're bigger losers than they are, just because the coaches keep calling the LSU offense
It seemed like the issue was interior pressure all season
