This is a video showing some of Burrows best sack escapes and it’s just a quick fun watch.

With the added muscle on Burrow these will happen even more frequently imo.
One thing i notice too is Burrow takes shorter, more powerful steps when escaping pressure. There’s one in the video where he does a little hop out of pressure and goes right into a throwing motion and to me that play needs to be on every QBs tape he studies because it’s just beautiful. This video also highlights how Burrow is very deliberate about WHERE he escapes pressure. He understands every route being ran and appears as if he pre plans where he’ll scramble if he needs to. This is him helping his WRs be great. Alot of guys scramble out of desperation and they may end up scrambling away from where their WRs are so their WRs have to run the opposite side of the field to become an option for their QB. Burrow seems to have an insane ability to escape pressure exactly where he wants to.

This is really just a fun video highlighting who Burrow is as a QB

Watched a bunch of Burrow highlights cause I’m bored and it’s crazy to see how many times we had routes on the field that would’ve dissected the defense and we just couldn’t throw them because the line. On the play where Burrow gets hit almost at snap, does a spin and finds Tee for a 1st, Boyd was actually WIDE OPEN directly in the hole of the zone Baltimore was playing and Burrow had to ignore him because he had to scramble to his left. Boyd ran his route on the right side and utterly destroyed his man because the corner was so worried about Chase he gave no help on the corner route. If this happens a lot, our offense is gonna change SOOOOO much with a good o line. Upon watching these highlights through the lens of wanting to see if someone was open i realized our passing designs are INSANE. Like they are really
Good. It’s a shame we couldn’t utilize our whole playbook. There were some plays where literally 3-4 guys got wide open but the pressure caused Burrow to hold it which then let the D catch up. One play against Baltimore there were literally 3 guys wide open for an EASY 1st and the literal only reason we didn’t get it off is cause the line. I knew our line was bad but some of these plays really drove it home for me. He’s not even getting time to let routes play out in alot of his highlights. Thank God Chase and Tee are so gifted physically.
