Zac just isn't learning

As for Zac, i am not an expert just a fan so don't understand some of the play calling which frustrates me, but overall I agree ZT is getting better and his teams are well disciplined and trained well on the rules and thus don't commit a lot of penalties.

We have a killer schedule the last 7 games, tough home and road games. Let's see how they do, so far doing pretty well without Chase for 3 games and our shut down CB out for the year.

The DL needs to step up pressure to help the back end of our defense. The OL needs to continue to progress, give Joe time and he can light up defenses.

I'm not an expert either....but I've read how this offense works. No one seems to want to acknowledge it, but Joe Burrow calls most of the plays. The staff sends in two that he can choose from and an audible I do believe. Burrow has the freedom to pick based on pre snap reads. Some of the time, the plays sent in are not the best based on timing....coaches' fault. Sometimes Joe misreads the defense......his fault. We, as fans, don't know for sure about which is which. That's why, as the seasons wear on, the play calling "gets better". You have a young QB learning, and frankly a young play caller/HC gaining experience as he goes too. I don't understand why some people expect some savant from the word go. There will be hiccups along the way. 

It's like some fans think Bill Belichick just came into the league as Darth Hoodie, lol. He started out fetching water more or less. The younger the coach, the more growing into the position there is.

Again, I'm no expert by any means, but there were glimpses in year two (year one was a complete dumpster fire) that give me a little hope for Zac. I recognized what the play should look.like if anyone could block.
