Why Didn't We See More Rollouts?!

Burrow is too slow to effectively utilize the rollout game if the OT will barely get more than a hand on the DE like ours were doing. We were needing our TE and RB to stay in for a second to chip just to help out so there wouldn't be a quick dump off that wouldn't get blow up. 

I'm not sure why they never tried Carmen in there when Adenji showed time and time again he was too weak. At least I don't remember Carmen being in there.

Burrow's faster rolling out than he is dropping back and it doesn't leave him as a sitting duck in the pocket. Rolling him out some would also help when he stays in the pocket because the defense couldn't just call pressure up the middle or push the pocket inwards without even thinking about it.

That's why I can't walk

That's what I'm saying!

It also causes problems because it makes it more difficult for the defenders to cover because it's tougher to keep an eye on the QB out of the corner fo the defenders' eyes while they also have an eye on the receiver!

I doubt it because he seemed to scramble and move ok.

Besides, leaving him in the pocket left him more in danger.
