Just because Burrow is effective versus blitzes and such does not mean we should let opposing DLs pin their ears back. We need to become a lot more effective at screens, traps and draws. Even just a few such plays will cause defenders to pause.
Why run screens traps and draws when we are more efficient just throwing the ball against the blitz?
"Blitz" in no way equals "good pass defense". In fact many of the teams that blitz the most also have some of the worst pass defenses.
Winning football games is about moving the ball and scoring points, not eliminating blitzes. As long as the defense is having to pay for blitzing it does not matter how t is done.
