They think it's that we can't adjust to teams playing cover 2 and taking our big plays away. Then, Burrow holds the ball trying to hit a hr. And we can't run the ball, which would pull safeties up.
Well, if you can't run the ball against Cover 2, then it's the line's fault. They're 5 on 4 with the MLB dropping deep at the snap. So it's a bit of the old chicken and the egg. You have to be able to run the ball well enough to make the Defense play aggressively so that you can pass, or pass well enough to GET cover 2 so that you can run. It starts with the run game, and that's the O-Line.
