The second video the CB stays where he is the whole time does not drop back any at all. You can put fault on Chase for not getting the play call and breaking to sideline. Burrow could have thrown the ball deeper and led Chase downfield since the CB was going to get blown by because his feet never moved.
You got to be on the same page though which they were not. Like Burrow has been saying they can get to another level lot of yards left on the field by not being on same page and drops. Chase had some focus issues before he went down to injury earlier this year.
The Chase fumble he had two hands on the ball, and he could have let go with the hand that was being tugged on. In his defense he most likely thought it was a DB pulling at his arm when it was a D-lineman number 9 that dropped into coverage. So, Chase might have thought he could muscle the guy and just shake him off.
The over the shoulder deep ball that went off his shoulder pad could have been caught easy just slowing up a bit to let ball fall in front of him more.
The CB sits and watches the backfield because a blitz was called, Burrow throws the ball so fast he didnt have to move, doesnt excuse Chase from missing the audible.
Fumble was an effort play.
Regardless, the context of the post was that our best players had some serious mistakes which rarely ever happens and doubt we see again.
