Offensive line depth is a problem, as is offensive line talent in general. But the line is not responsible for all seventy of these sacks. Burrow has a part to play in this too. So ASSUMING the coaches and front office make big moves in the off-season to improve the offensive line talent and build depth, what can Burrow personally improve upon moving forward to drive these sack numbers down even lower?
I have held off on positing this, because it seems nit picky - but if I notice it, then it is a thing.
When he receives the ball in shotgun, he is nearly always leaning or moving slightly forward to meet the ball, then he is stopping his frwd momentum and kind of reversing and taking his drop as needed.
It is a matter of tenths of a second, but it is something he can clean up.
Has anyone else noticed this?
