“There was some good and some bad [from 2020],” he says. “I’d like to be more explosive. And I think I was really good in quick-game situations. On fourth down, we were really good. Empty, we were really good. But we need to be more explosive with play-action passes. All of our downfield passing needs to improve.”
Then, getting more specific, he adds, “I just wasn’t accurate as I was the year before [at LSU] down the field. And that was frustrating to me, because I’ve always been a good down-the-field thrower. Just getting back to the basics of that, really focusing on my fundamentals. I just started running and throwing a few weeks ago, so standing and throwing, and focusing on the fundamentals helped.”
Part of that led to a focus on getting stronger through his hips, to give him a shot to get more consistent juice throwing it. And that, as he sees it, worked. “Just getting my hips stronger through my rehab has gotten a ton more velocity on my ball,” he says. “I’ve been very happy with that.”

So the rehab has made him better at the two things he struggled with last year? Looks like this injury was a blessing in disguise

Thanks for sharing the interview.
At least Burrow reflects on his game. I'm sure most professional athletes do, but it's good to see an article confirming it.

Uh oh. Does this mean Jordan gets an award or something?

Let's not go that far.

Yeah, his downfield passing was his biggest problem last season. Happy he has been really working on this.
Heard Boyd said his hands were stinging Joe was throwing with such velocity...

Uzomah said the same thing. JB throwing with more velocity this year.
Throwing the deep ball is as much about timing and accuracy as arm strength. Hopefully he has improved in all phases.

Yeah Uzo had to put on gloves, wasn't used to that sting lol
True, probably why bringing in Chase was the move all the way. They have their timing down already.

Three or four more injuries and he will be Brady/Mahomes/Rodgers all in one.

So what you guys are saying is that by taking Chase over Sewell, we not only got an awesome receiver, we are also getting a better Joey Burrow next time he gets hurt...? Correct me if I'm wrong here, but if true, that means Mike Brown is really playing some 4D chess. Incredibly advanced thinking. Wow.

He has been all along. The entirety of the 90s was an elaborate series of ploys designed to bring us to precisely this moment ...
RE: new Joey B interview - BFritz21 - 06-08-2021
Love that he has more confidence to throw downfield and whatever because it's showing that he's building as a quarterback and he's committed to improving, but will the line give him time to show off these abilities?
Play calling also plays a huge role in this, obviously, which Zac and the rest of the coaching staff haven't given me too much hope in their abilities so far.

They are just joking around Shake.

I think he was playing along. But now that we’ve broken the fourth wall it’s come to an end.
