This is an area where stats don't always tell the whole story. Burrow is on record as saying he doesn't mind taking a sack, situationally. He'll hold the ball longer to make a play and as long as the situation dictates, he'll take a sack and move on to the next play. Plus, as he gets experience, that will morph as well.

Let's be honest. Burrow already has a metric shit-ton of experience with getting pressured. He's never really had a 'good' Oline. With an average one, in the middle of last season, he was lights out. Brown will be an improvement over Williams at LT, so we'll see if the Bengals throw Jonah over to RT or if they go another way. I'd still be inclined to try and get a guy like Darnell Wright in the draft to play RT. But this gives them more options if they want to go TE then S or CB in the draft.
