Anyone with even a fleeting understanding of the Bengals knows things went fully off the rails when Andrew Whitworth and Kevin Zeitler got away.

Cincinnati hopes Jonah Williams is the answer at left tackle. And if he’s even passable as a “rookie” this year it’ll be an upgrade. Better health for the entire offense will ease the burden on the line too — and so will the presence of better quarterback play.

If Burrow is firing the ball off fast in a smartly-designed offense to a healthy cast of wideouts and otherwise smoothly evading pressure like he has in the past, the sacks count is going to take a nosedive from last year’s 48.
