Shotgun vs. Under Center and our effectiveness

Anyways our offense looks lost. The running game has been mostly ineffective out of the mostly shotgun O. It's either feast of famine !! We're either lighting the scoreboard up 350 yards passing. Or we look like it's the first day of training camp.

We abandon the run game way to early because it's getting nowhere. We're facing a Dline that could care less about the run. They're pinning their ears back, kill Burrow on two, ready break. They've got nothing to worry about because nothing but the bomb works.

I just strongly feel that if ZT and JB would incorporate something other than all shotgun all the time our offense would benefit. Less three and outs, less wear and tear on JB. And so on.

Maybe a healthier Burrow makes all this easier for Taylor to implement. It was a rough season for Burrow. Browning's thus far success with a balanced offense along with a healthy (fingers crossed) Burrow could hopefully lead to the offense clicking next year in the pass/run game and under center/shotgun formations with Joey B at the helm.
