Unleashing Joe Burrow

I’m saying when Joe Burrow DOES drop back to throw he looks deep first.  As for the pass vs. run debate I still like to see more runs than passes.  Attempting 40+ passes is not advisable unless a team is WAY behind.  

“Slinging the ball all over the field” only works when the opposing defense respects the run.  If a defense has no idea what’s coming they’ll have to hedge their bets and protect against both pass and run.  Against the Bears it was hard to throw because they knew a pass was coming and this brings me to another point: The empty backfield.  I don’t think that’s a good fit in Cincinnati at this point.

While I agree with what you are saying in principle, the teams that have the "worst" run/pass balance in the league are three of the best teams in the league.  Tampa, LA, and I forget the third.  Maybe Green Bay?  It can be a useless stat as pitt was last in the league last year in the same measure (I refuse to refer to them as one of the best teams) but they had so many screens (led the NFL) that it was really an extension of their run game, and got the added benefit of padding the fat pig's stats.  

Right now, my biggest concern is scheme/design.  The short passes are low %, highly contested.  The run plays are not being executed well at all, even in defenses where they are NOT stacking the box.  

Where are the crossing routes?  The screens?  The misdirection?  It really disappeared week 2.  Coaches have to do a much better job this week.  Season feels like it is hinging on this game.
