Our offensive line gives up to much ground right from the snap. The entire line backpedals in unison all the way to where Burrow's original spot was for shotgun snap within like 1 second.

I don't know if this is totally from Pollack's coaching or not. But watching other teams you don't see them surrendering that much ground, instantly.

Before anybody jumps my ass I'm not in any way making excuses for Burrow and trying to pin all our woes on Oline. Burrow is hurt and can't plant on that leg. You can see it. IMHO he needs to take at least the next two games off.

I'm simply saying our blocking philosophy isn't helping.

It's scheme where the line gives up ground.
