I realize that they have Floyd and Miller on the outside, but I'd rather take my chances against them in the open field than against Donald and the other d-linemen in the pocket.
Burrow also would have had a better chance to throw the ball away while rolling out.
Rolling him out also would have helped the run game and vice-versa because the defense would be looking towards the middle.
I realize Burrow had his knee injury last season but was moving ok and rolling him out would have prevented injuring it more.
Anyone know why it wasn't in the game plan to roll him out more and why we didn't see any in-game adjustments to do it?
One of the safest plays in football is to roll out the QB to buy some time and throw even a quick 5-6 yard out especially to one the Bengals WR's where every CB has to play them honestly. It's always a sideline protection throw with the sideline being your friend if a corner is draped on the WR.Shocking we never saw that.
