The value of a 5 man protection scheme is that the O line own's 5 and the QB has the 6th. You want to be blitzed against 5 man protection because it means everyone out in the pattern is singled up or you have lite zones. Burrow thrived under pressure at LSU when in 5 man protection because he understood who was his responsibility and when they'd bring extra pressure he knew exactly where he wanted to be with the ball.
Expect to see them come out of the huddle 5 wide on A LOT of plays then motion the back in. This will tell Burrow pre snap if the defense is in man or zone. Once he has that read pre snap he will set his protection and start establishing pre snap where to go with the ball. I think for me, the biggest thing will be how he handles the Ravens blitz packages. They send a lot of pressure from a lot of places and do plenty of late rotations that make it tough on young QB's to account for everyone. This could be a place where someone like Bynes can help us understand what they like to do and their philosophy when getting Burrow ready.
