The OL in 2019 won awards, were part of a record setting offense, 4/5 have started an NFL game, and two of them were on the NFL all-rookie team

I'm not sure why their NFL careers keep getting mentioned in this thread. No one said they weren't individually talented.

The 2019 unit gave up a shite ton of sacks, even with a Heisman QB running around and the best WR corps in the country running open. It's not really controversial to say the OL wasn't that great, despite the accolades.

They had the hardest schedule in the country and PFF had them ranked 30th in the country. There are a lot of teams with dogshit schedules ahead of us in that list too. It was a good OL. Also, Burrow held onto it a lot that year waiting for our studs at WR to hit their breaks and get open. Super aggressive downfield passing game leads to more sacks usually.

Joe Cool, simply being Joe Cool.
Maybe next year he can buy the entire DEF battle-used swords too....which means they won some battles.
Glad to see Joey B continue to do well and I hope they address their DEF so they can compete for the SB again.

I think he was going for a “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” kind of comment.

Or could just be he thinks these are fake.

? I’m sure many a Jap katana beheaded people especially after they commit harakiri someone cuts their head of so they don’t have to suffer as long. It’s even in the last samurai movie

I think I’d prefer the $85k Tundra Brock Purdy gifted his O line over a sword.

The Jap holding the sword beheaded people. The sword was just the tool

The katana gifts story would have been cool, but he had to come out and ruin the story by admitting his OL actually wanted guns but he was too uncomfortable doing that.

Anti 2nd amendment Joe. Maybe that's why his house was robbed because they know they aren't going to be met with heat over there.
