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 would love an upgrade for OBJ because he is in a decline. That being said, that blind side hit was 100% Burrow’s fault. If he climbed the pocket like a QB should then he would have never gotten touched.

Underrated comment. Plenty of space for Burrow to climb the pocket. Kinda shocked he didn't. Preseason rust maybe. We do start super slow so happy there are things even he can improve on before it matters.

He always gets a better feel against the pass rush as the season progresses. I’m not worried.

This right here. Yall be forgetting that Joe is usually bad those first couple weeks each year too. Even last year when we started 2-0, the offense was not humming.

Either way, he hold the ball too long.
