Again, back in a thread where everyone thought Joe was going to 100% when he took the field in September, I said this kid will still have mental blocks.  You won't see him at his best until the 2nd half of this season. 

You sure as hell aren't going to see him run this season.  That's one aspect defenses don't have to worry about this season like they did last year.  Burrows going to stand in the pocket and pick apart defenses or he's going to get sacked all day. 

There's going to be no designed runs.  No RPO's because he can't with the brace on his knee and coming off ACL surgery. 

So the play book is going to be so much more limited compared to last year in my opinion and I think you're seeing that now.  

Teams at least last year respected Burrow could take off with the ball at any time.  This year they don't have that concern.
