Even during their Super Bowl run, the Bengals had a hard time keeping their quarterback upright. The line has been overhauled, but is it ready to keep Joe Burrow clean?
Despite the overhaul on the line, Cincinnati's pass blocking didn't make any marked improvements. The Bengals ranked 30th in pass block win rate in 2021 - the Super Bowl year - and again in 2022, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
None of the Bengals' starting tackles or guards ranked in the top 50 in pass block win rate at their respective positions. Karras, the team's center, ranked 23rd out of 33 players. It's no secret the Bengals' offense revolves around Burrow, the former No. 1 overall pick who signed a record-breaking contract extension on Sept. 9. But that could also be a factor that contributes to his sack total. In 2022, he ranked sixth in sacks taken, fifth in total dropbacks but was just 18th in sacks per dropback .
This offseason, Burrow met with Brown while both players were in New York for promotional events. They met in a hotel room and chatted over cheeseburgers. Cincinnati coach Zac Taylor said the unit made progress over the course of last season, despite what the numbers showed. He also said that the high sack total, particularly early in the season, was due to a number of factors.
