Offensive line depth is a problem, as is offensive line talent in general. But the line is not responsible for all seventy of these sacks. Burrow has a part to play in this too. So ASSUMING the coaches and front office make big moves in the off-season to improve the offensive line talent and build depth, what can Burrow personally improve upon moving forward to drive these sack numbers down even lower?
As Pistons said, he needs to step up into the pocket more and get the ball out quicker. Less of the Burrow magic unless we really
need it to win the game. If you are going to get hit make sure it is up top and not down around the legs. Also rollouts need to be
used more as we have all been saying if the pressure gets bad. Really hope the Offensive coaches all are watching the Titans and
the SB and seeing what they all did wrong. Burrow as well, he has lots of say in the play calling, he says so himself.
Joe Burrow loves the empty sets that get him killed. We need to improve the OL and he needs to be more patient with a RB or TE
in the backfield next to him. Better to get an incompletion than him gambling for the big play on empty sets.
