Okay which previously banned poster do we have here?
Nicomo is correct - Burrow has self inflicted a lot of the sacks. Out of 32 teams in the NFL the Bengals have the 9th most time in the pocket - which means Burrow is having time to throw and someplace to throw from. He DOES hold the ball and he HAS made some perplexing decisions (two weeks in a row just stepping into the pocket would have turned a sack into a completed pass). None of this means Burrow is not a Grade A prospect - it means he needs to improve his pocket awareness and also move more in the pocket.
Was the line missing two starters and with green as grass backups out of sync Sunday? Yep - it happens. Do the Bengals need to get better at blitz pickup and backs pass protecting? Yep. Can the line get better? Yep. But it is not as bad as some try to represent.
