But it seems at times during games they're/he's just determined to do a 5 step drop or stay cemented in the shotgun to the center of the pocket. Like you say an easy target point.
I hope they get the offense figured out against the Saints. It's torture to set and watch them struggle like the dickens when we know they're so much more.
He's not real comfortable rolling out and never has been. He didn't do that at LSU unless forced out of the pocket and he's done it very very rarely here. Success hit Burrow and the receivers (especially Chase) awful quickly last year and too quick for defenses to make real, lasting adjustments. NFL is the ultimate game of chess.The average fan thinks it takes 4-5 practice snaps to run successful roll outs. It can take weeks to get all 11 players on the same page and knowing each guy next to him is also doing.
Roll forward to now and you have 4 new OL (5 with the TE) and a QB that missed the entire preseason including several weeks of practice. You don't pickup comfortability in this league in just a couple games against anybody let alone seeing TJ Watt in week one and an excellent DL/Bck 7 in Dallas.
