Agree with your thoughts but I think Burrow and the entire coaching staff creating plays are going to have to make changes. What worked in college for JB with the empty sets with all wide outs isn't working now in the NFL. It worked the first 2 years because it was JB, Chase and Higgins lighting up defenses but now 3-4 years in opposing teams have basically shut them down. And we are still trying to be the long ball home run offense. Other teams are on to us and Zac and Co. haven't adapted or adjusted still relying on JB making homerun big plays. We don't run enough even with Mixon looking better this year. He is basically our only RB.
When Joe is in SG formation empty set the D knows a pass is coming. We use no motion or different look sets. And with his calf injury limiting his movement it's even worse. We are far too predictable on offense. Teams in the league see this and have adjusted but it seems we haven't and keep trying the same few plays over and over resulting in so many 3 and outs. Tough decisions to consider and decide on. Do they start Joe this week being 70%? Guess it would be a bad look sitting the 275 Mil QB.
