Offensive Line Strategy

I watched every game this weekend and what team did not have a QB scrambling around? Purdy on the 49'rs was running for his life most plays but he made plays out of that. Daniel Jones and Cousins were both running for their lives.

I believe Cinci. is in a much better place at this time than a year ago with a health JB who will now take off and get positive yards. DB's now have to turn around to see if he left the pocket which is something they never had to worry about last season.

I don't know if it's really overstated, but it does emphasize the need for a QB to be able to run or at least scramble to keep the play alive.
The less ability to move around, the more likely the QB will end up on the ground if they don't have a stout OL.

Burrow is far more mobile than the human tree that was Carson Palmer, but I feel he scrambles less than some of the other QBs.

We'll see how things fare against BUF Sunday.
