Their DL + edge rushers are all quality, but none of them are elite talents. Just 4-5 solid guys. A lot of their sacks/pressures come from stunts, sim pressure, and general confusion vs. pure beating their man 1v1.
My broader point, is our offensive line has shown they will get beat by greater talent, but I think, given the experience of our offensive line, I'm betting on the fact that we can communicate and handle their complex/confusing looks. Not saying it will be perfect, but I don't expect to see Burrow running for his life.
Nice post Lucius, agree with this. Burrow will be able to eat up the blitz in this game as well, unlike the last one where he was
all hobbled up and we lost by 3 points. This is what gives me hope going into this one. Burrow is healthy and we barely lost when
he was a shadow of himself. Not having Sam Hubbard to spy Lamar though will keep it close as Lamar should run for a lot, just
hopefully not Tuddy's.
