Our line is not the worst, but when you put them in pass blocking situations 50 times a game, they are gonna have some slip ups. The best thing for protecting Burrow would’ve been leaning more on the run game. Hopefully we do that in 2021 but it’s difficult when the running game is highly ineffective..Zac Taylor acted like JB was in a flag football league
Or Zac had his mind in PS4 mode with all the dropbacks
Vs the AFC North alone JB averaged 44.5 pass attempts
A game. Let that marinate...44 dropbacks and scan the
Field. Every AFC North team with good to elite pass rushers
Burrow never threw less than 30 times a game.
Vs the Browns alone he put the ball in the air 108 times.
Was the running game not working? Sure. But sometimes
You have to stick with it.
In the 2 wins with Burrow he only threw it 36 and 37 times
You cant expect olines to be like a wall of granite
When your QB is throwing it that much.
There is some darn good QBs on that list.
But they don't have perfect olines.
The % Burrow got pressured was less than Herbert
Cousins Wilson and Allen. He didnt even make the top
8.
So let's take into account JB was a rookie and ZT was
A idiot for dropping him back so much.
That was still less of a pressure % as compared to better
Olines and OCs
