Taylor & Callahan Are Figuring It Out!

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

I think all the talk of Burrow's/the offense's slow start is is interesting, and some criticism on everyone is warranted. After getting zero snaps together in pre-season, we looked terrible vs Pittsburgh. Burrow's surgery hurt, and he was awful vs Pitt. But Harris' injury, Sample's boneheaded blocking decision on the PAT, and Chase dropping a TD also hurt. And the offensive line was TERRIBLE the first two games. Mixon has been poor to terrible all year. Higgins hampered by his ankle. And Burrow has forced it deep at times, iverlooking Hurst and Boyd too often. And the playcalling has been unimaginative, predictable via frlornation & personnel, vanilla, and at times, boneheaded (kick or go, run or pass, etc).

But still, Burrow has the highest 3rd down passer rating in the league. And Chase the most 3rd down receptions.
