Understand there is more to this than just "not looking". When Corners play man in general they aren't looking at the QB just occasionally looking in when they can, hence why running QB's tear up man coverage because everyone in coverage don't see him running. When a Corner is in phase they can essentially peak back at the QB to know what is going on but they are never starring at him rather watching the WR's eyes for when they need to turn. Now when a Corner is out of phase, and this is what Burrow is talking about, they are playing catch up to the receiver and often doing a lot of hand fighting to regain position. It is when the Corner is out of phase that Burrow is saying he will put it up and let his WR have a chance at the ball.
