Our WRs would have better separation numbers if Burrow didn't float the deep ball. That gives the DBs time to close on the ball. That is what "slams the window shut".
The sep numbers are on passes CAUGHT, not thrown. Looking at Tee Higgins catch charts, he only caught 12 or so passes beyond 15 yards all season. The WR separation numbers have nothing to do with Joe Burrow or his deep throws. If anything, it would be the opposite conclusion. The WRs are not separating much on their routes and are operating in a phonebooth, so to speak. Burrow's windows were much tighter last year given that AJ Green was at 1.7 yards of separation avg per catch. Boyd and Higgins were ok, but not killing it. Didn't look at the other guys.
