Where is the Improvement with giving up Sacks

[Joelist]

The sacks have been caused by Burrow AND our backs AND the OL - all three have had their issues. While I cannot locate exact numbers on sacks generally ascribed to Burrow and those ascribed to the backs, a couple of sites (really this stuff is hard to find weirdly) put 15-18 sacks on the OL and the rest on other actors. That doesn't excuse anyone but does show that pass protection is a whole offense exercise and all units can stand to improve:

- Burrow needs to be more aware in the pocket, move around more and take the quick pass instead of holding the ball

- The line itself needs to communicate better and stop being stoned in short yardage

- The backs and TEs have to stop missing their assignments

And the team needs veteran depth so that injuries won't completely unhinge things.
