Defense needs to step up and put rush in their place.
It's simple. Joe is playing scared
Any confidence he possessed last season has been evaporated. And unfortunately this offense lives
And dies on Burrows confidence level
We have to be more creative with our underneath stuff. Boyd's route on that 3rd down he just went 5yds and stops and turns around. I suppose that could work if the defender isn't right there. Why is he not running across the field. At least make his defender chase him.

Hurst had his man beat. Joe could have easily hit him, but ran around instead of planting.
Think we can all agree that Burrow can get rid of it faster but damn this line has been a major disappointment so far this season. It’s shocking how bad they are playing.

if you're gonna disagree with the facts, at least try to make a better point than that

He’s had many opportunities to throw the ball away in last 2 games, but doesn’t do it.

It was literally the only ONE thing that needed fixing... and they failed.
They failed, but you can't say they didn't try. Cappa and Collins were considered two of the best o-line players avaliable.

Playing scared?? Not sure how you get that. The guy has been sacked how many times? He can only do so much by himself
Can McPherson just say 'looks like we're going to the Super Bowl' before his next kick so we can stop being so concerned about the Bengals this season.
Hilton trying for that pick.

It's almost as if they don't have pass plays designed to get 4 yards when they need it.

Yes, he himself has said he tries to keep plays alive to make something happen. It is a flaw of his as well as a benefit, but the specific reasoning isn't due to him caring about his completion percentage.
Defense gonna get a pick 6!

Hurst was running free inside the defender. It should have been pitch and catch.
Trey H and DJ Reader are my favorite defenders. They work so hard
