Scripted plays

Once ZT and company bag their plan and turn if over to Burrow, they roll.

Look around the league and you see the exact opposite.  Baker starts almost every game with a flawless TD drive.  Ditto Darnold at Carolina.  I will throw in guys like Garapolo and Mac Jones as well.  But then when the game settles in and they are no longer on a play-scripted drive, they often struggle.

I hate to sound negative to the coaches again, but maybe they need to include Joe in the scripting of the opening drives, a la Peyton and Brees.

Some of the plays they came out running during the Jacksonville opening driver were actually pretty impressive, especially the very first play of the game.
