But even when Burrow was throwing, even Richard Sherman commented on the lack of number of pass blockers for Burrow. Couple that with a shotgun offense and an offensive line that struggles more often than not for clean pockets, Burrow is going to get 'Andrew Luck'ed in a few years as someone else put it last night.

Richard's comment confused me. We were running Mix, AND using him on screens as an extension of the run. I also remember Drew Sample in the backfield to block on a few plays. The back was in the backfield to help block too with Drew. WTF was he watching? Fair to say it in previous games, but the first half they were actually doing what he said they weren't.
