Burrow was on pace to be blitzed 221 times before his injury. That would have been second most in the league. When the opposing DC is confident that he can single up your receivers because they can't win downfield, it invites him to pull guys out of coverage and send them after your QB.
Offenses aren't a one way street. Everyone can help or hinder the effectiveness of everyone else.
Yes, I get that....but even with the fastest man in the NFL, Dalton was running for his life more times than not. It looked even worse last season with no John Ross. Anquan Bouldin made a living being slow. It just seems this offense needs another half to full second at times and it hasn't been there. Then there's the awful run blocking.
