Remember of those 3 sacks Burrow himself caused one and one was Perine whiffing on picking up the blitzed (like he always does). The problem is the play designs and yes the play calling - also Burrow not moving in the pocket and holding the ball too long.
Where are the rollouts? Where are the traps and draws? Why are there no sluggos? Why do our screens suck (HINT: it has something to do with the formation telegraphing the screen and side of the field it is on)? This is probably the ONLY offense in football that does absolutely nothing to burn aggressive pass rushes.
Totally disagree with you. Other than 3 sacks, there were so co many hurries and many hits on JB that it was ridiculous. JB was a houdini a few times evading the sack. He very rarely had time to sit back and go thru progressions.
They need to get these balls into the hands of the WR's on quick hits, quick screen passes (not slip screend so to speak), etc. These WR's are excellent and these types of passes can be used as running plays because you have a DB out on an island and the WR is at least getting 5-6 yards many times. If that DB misses the WR is gone. They have to start pinching the edges more and using the entire field especially with a below average OL.
