Yup smoke screen for the draft but we have shown our hand now.

That may help explain the sacks allowed numbers lol
Cohesion and familiarty have always been important for good OL play. Looks like MO subscribes to this view as well.

So losing DJ and getting Williams makes this a wash? Williams is fine but not an upgrade imo.
You do know that DJ is injured? It might be a wash if DJ were healthy, but unfortunately he's not. Also, haven't seen when he'll be able to play. Or am I just responding to a 'troll'?

I think there's a real good chance we draft a tackle prospect at 27 and start him at LG next year. Let him battle it out with Williams in 2025.

I'd love a more plausible explanation for why Williams' market was so soft that doesn't have to do with him being exceptionally mid.

How do you know it was soft? I searched "Jonah Williams free agent rumors" and he was linked with the Cowboys, Steelers, Patriots, Ravens, Commanders and Giants before I stopped scrolling. The Cardinals were not mentioned.

Maybe teams wanting an OT are looking to this incredibly deep OT draft instead of paying the higher cost of a FA.

Instead of holding he just gives up the sack....

I'm usually glass half full in free agency but I am weary of the Bengals OL. I have heard that Zach Taylors scheme can make things difficult on the OL though.

He gave up 8 sacks last year. So 1 every two games. That will improve with Kyler.

I think it’s also worth mentioning that Kyler has a hair more escapability than Burrow…

Gave up a quick sack against us. (5:45)

Some real bad snaps on this little tape.
5:45 was the Dobbs pick 6.

Shortly after that was a sack from the left with this bunch formation.

Just watched the second of 3 sacks, LTs guy broke free to nearly sack Burrows and caused the pocket to collapse at 2:35 in the 1st. Williams ran into Burrows and should have been credited with the sack as a defender. This plah absolutely blew up all around.

3rd sack was at 11:32 of the 2nd and it was from up thr middle. Of the 3 sacks, Williams was not responsible for any of them aside from knocking Burrows down when the pocket collapsed.

Not to go all @Chopper0080

Uhh you guys are forgetting the sacks that Burrow saves by reading the defense faster and getting rid of the football. And Burrow is very mobile. He's actually stronger than Kyler as well so he'll spin out of plays where Kyler might just take the loss of yards.

Say what you will about DJ, but he was use to Kyler's mobility and style. There is going to be an adjustment.

However, lets not start using Joe Burrow as a reason Williams just wasn't as good the Bengals hoped.
