I realize that they have Floyd and Miller on the outside, but I'd rather take my chances against them in the open field than against Donald and the other d-linemen in the pocket.
Burrow also would have had a better chance to throw the ball away while rolling out.
Rolling him out also would have helped the run game and vice-versa because the defense would be looking towards the middle.
I realize Burrow had his knee injury last season but was moving ok and rolling him out would have prevented injuring it more.
Anyone know why it wasn't in the game plan to roll him out more and why we didn't see any in-game adjustments to do it?
It was rare when just 1 person was being beat and it wasn't the whole line collapsing. I would guess it had to do with them not knowing which side was going to instantly collapse and therefore basically guaranteeing a 5-10 yard loss.
Burrow is too slow to effectively utilize the rollout game if the OT will barely get more than a hand on the DE like ours were doing. We were needing our TE and RB to stay in for a second to chip just to help out so there wouldn't be a quick dump off that wouldn't get blow up.
I'm not sure why they never tried Carmen in there when Adenji showed time and time again he was too weak. At least I don't remember Carmen being in there.
