That's a coaching failure on Zac and Brian's part and Burrow has made some pretty bad reads / decisions on his part. Everyone just looks confused and out of whack in the 1st halves of the 1st 2 games, and at times in the 2nd halves too.
Then, there's the stubbornness that keeps wanting to employ the wide zone too much in the run game when they really don't have the players for it and it's constantly failing due to quick penetration and lack of athleticism on this line.
The overall offense scheme is just a muddled mess right now. The coaches seem to be trying to figure it out on the fly, and it's led to heavy doses of passive, predictable play calling.
so what is sentiment after Jets sack hm 6 more times and Flacco kicks ass on Sunday? Im sorry for Debbie downer but I see no glimmer of anything changing anytome soon at least. Other "good" teams still are winning and winning BIG...other teams adjust and they have a plan on how to execute with whats being thrown at them. Im tired of the lethargic 1st halves and hoping for them to wake up later
