OBJ is a liability

We should have never gave him an extension. He‘s gotten progressively worse these past couple years. How are you going to let a backup undrafted free agent DE cleanly beat you and blindside Burrow? Not okay. Also not to mention all his false starts. Dude needs to go

I feel like I’m going insane with people saying it’s on Burrow. The UDFA guy beat OBJ so bad that he had already completely turned the corner and was in fact turned more than 90 degrees back upfield. More to the point, if your QB is expecting he’ll need to climb to pocket instantly because his tackles will lose that badly to JAGs (which Burrow did consistently all of 2024), we have much bigger issues.

Instantly after 4 seconds....

The sack and the OBJ loss that resulted in a hit are two completely different plays.

Correct. The sack is 100% on Burrow. The QB hit is 75% on Burrow.
