Didn't Taylor tweak the playbook when Burrow was drafted, he added alot of what what LSU was doing to make Joe's transition smoother. The offense was playing pretty well before Joe got hurt. The defense couldn't stop anyone late in the game. If the new look defense is making it hard for the offense to get going, isn't that a good thing?

Wasn't that because Cody Core and Alex Erickson were playing? You shouldn't expect the same from a Boyd/Ross/Erickson/Core (2018) or AJ/LaFell/Erickson/Malone (2017) WR group as a Chase/Higgins/Boyd group.

They really weren't, honestly. Even if you only count the first half of the Washington game rather than the whole game, and divide the points by the 9.5 games Burrow played... that's 22.4 points per game, which would be the 24th scoring offense.
