1. Burrow looks great and impresses another one
2. Bobby Hart is trash and JT calls him out (not by name) on the first 3 plays he breaks down.

Thanks for sharing.

Not only was JT impressed saying Joe Burrow was already developing veteran/elite level pocket movement and awareness.

I think it was Joel Klatt that said Joe Burrow had a lot of Joe Montana in him. JT breaking down the play were Burrow dips out, dips in and then spins away from another, essentially avoiding 3 sacks, looks vintage Joe Montana.

Zac Taylor brought up how he's had to bring awareness to his offensive lineman that they need to engage with their blocker until a whistle is blown or they see Burrow without the ball.

Because Joe Burrow is gonna run around until he absolutely has to throw it, like on the play he reverses field and then gets jacked. JT said nobody expects the QB to reverse field on this play and you can see the right side of the line disengaged from their blocks.

You can see them look back and realize Joe is heading back their way and go "oh, snap." Which makes me think at least some of these offensive line mistakes can be coached out and get better with playing time.


JT also pointed out that the Eagles would bring blitzes from the right side, even when we stacked that side with RB's and TE's. Which to me means the NFL has already figured out that our right side of the offensive line is weak and they're gonna keep attacking them until they prove we can stop it.

The last thing that stood out to me was that JT was gushing about how well designed our offensive play calling was for the passing game, one time even saying that the middle screen was one the best offensive calls he'd ever seen.

JT points out how Joe checks at the line that they're gonna maintain the call from the sideline. Which to me means two things Zac Taylor called the correct play, based on the defensive personnel they had out there and that Joe Burrow recognises it.

Which makes me feel better about Zac Taylor, he might be an elite level passing play designer and caller, but as we know football is more than just one phase of the game.
