My Theory as to our Offensive Ineptitude

Dude is broken right now. Its really sad to see tbh.

I'd be concerned, too, except he still looks so elite and clutch at the end of games. I just can't help but think the issue basically boils down to the fact that he and the OL are not on the same page (hell, it's like they're not even reading the same book half the time). I think once they're in sync, even if there's a lot of pressures given up, I think we'll see vintage Burrow in the pocket, moving around, throwing the deep dimes, etc. And I think that'll happen sooner if Zac stops trying to run the ball so damned much at the beginning of games and on 1st and 2nd downs so much. Pass to set up the run from the start of the game and this line will gel quicker, Burrow will get in sync with the line quicker and our offense will look unstoppable quicker.
