Game plan vs. The steelers

[Essex Johnson]

Well the problem is Burrow with your analysis.. what I mean by that he prefers and wants more empty sets, he has stated that and so has ZT... so I don;t see how we go away from what Burrow believes is his strong suit empty. As for run first, i like run second more... what I mean is play action/empty sets on 1st down, will hold the rush gives you deep pass early, check off, slants early, then come back with 2nd down runs . We need to keep this game with 3rd and shorts/mediums on offense.

Finally I want to see Burrow run a bit more.. the defenses are not respecting his ability to run at all in RPOs, he should us that to his advantage a few times a game...he has 7 carries in last 4 games, in college he average 9 runs a game... adding this back into his game will open up the offense more


On defense, we will need to contain Harris in both run and pass game, with Ben being no run threat, i like to see them spy Harris a bit.. I like to see them play a two deep soft coverage, Ben has been inconsistent and i prefer letting him make the mistakes than getting beat deep or drawing those pass interference calls on 3rd and long, which Ben loves to try to get...
