Truly good coaching should have a contingency plan for when situations like injuries occur. If they don't find some sort of offensive footing soon, defenders are going to start dropping like flies from playing so fatigued. We're already seeing the level of play by the defense greatly diminished, after just 4 games.Shouldn't the offense run through the teams best player though? Also what play calling can be done with Joe's Calf. Can't play him from under center, can't get him on roll outs, and you can't run the read option with him at QB. The best they can do is what they are doing.

Yeah, Burrow is limited but a good coach will either scheme something that will work or put a backup in and scheme something with his skill set. If we didn't have such a good weapons I would say there's not much you can do, but good God we have arguably the best offensive weapons in the league with a solid OL. You have to be able scheme something with almost any backup QB in the leagueIf you are going to win with a backup QB then you have to have. A.) A great Defensive game and B.) A strong running game. Like we did against the Rams.
