Last season was a struggle, to say the least, for the Cleveland Browns offensive line. Tackles Greg Robinson and Chris Hubbard struggled mightily to hold up in the new offense schemed by Todd Monken. The addition of Kevin Zeitler as part of the Odell Beckham Jr. trade created a revolving door at right guard for most of the year.
While Joel Bitonio and J.C. Tretter were their usual excellent selves, the problems with the rest of the line seemed to shake the unshakeable confidence of quarterback Baker Mayfield. The one way to undermine a talented offense is to ignore the offensive line, and the Browns taught a masterclass on that in 2019.
