The issue with this team right now is two fold. The OL has been anything but perfect, but a lot of it is on Joe Burrow himself. He looks terrible in the pocket...even when its a good one. He is skiddish, drops his eyes, doesnt set his feet, etc.
Part of that is due to the OL issues right now and from the past. Part of that is on him.
Everyone needs to chill and give it a few more games before we start calling for OL player "coaches". Jeesh.
It's actually a three fold problem. The two you mentioned and the play calling which has to improve. Need more roll outs to both buy time and create better/shorter passing angles. Nothing wrong on 1st/2nd down to take the easy 5-6 yards. There will be plenty of opportunities to go downfield but being off schedule so much kills that.
