We saw a little of what they want to do when Browning was holding down QB in Joe's absence. The team went further in cementing that the offense was indeed going a different direction with some of the personnel decisions this offseason.
So it would appear that gone are the days of lining up in shotgun with 3 WR, 11 personnel, and dropping back and slingin' it 40-50X/game.
Yeah, when we all look back at it, Burrow being sidelined with the wrist may have been a blessing in disguise. We found out the run game performs better under center and Burrow to Chase/Higgins/Boyd not a ride or die scenario. It may have made them realize that outside of Burrow, this is still a pretty dang good team.
