Yes it is.
He did not say 5-wide made the blocking better. He said it reduced the pressures. It did that by forcing Burrow to throw the ball quicker.
If Burrow is capable of making a bad offensive line look good then why didn't he do it here last year? Why were so many fans screaming that we had to completely re-build our O-line to protect him.
NFL teams agree with me. College O-line coaches agree with me. The only people who don't are the ones who blindly worship Burrow and want to give him credit for everything.
I love Burrow as our QB, but some people here just go to far. He took a lot of hits last year because he held onto the ball too long. He was not able to scramble and complete deep passes like he did at LSU with Jefferson and Chase playing against colleges DBs.
