Andrew Luck 2.0
#24
Luck wanted to play qb like a linebacker. Like Burrow, he sought contact. Burrow needs to learn to protect himself from himself. He seems to have abandoned any desire to slide when he takes off. It's got to change.

IMO the answer to these problem largely lies in the run game. The more they pass, the higher the chance of him getting hit. The defense knows what's coming. Even if they can't stop it due to the superior athleticism of the receivers, they still get to bare down and go after the qb on most downs. It puts the OL in a less than ideas position as well. They constantly retreat and rarely attack.

Teams who are good for long periods of time go through changes in philosophy. New England absolutely did more than once. Baltimore did just this season with Monken. I think this needs to happen here in the upcoming offseason. The Bengals willl never be a run-first so long as 9 is in his prime. They may shift a bit when he gets close to retirement, but no time soon. I'm fine with that, but they need to be run-capable even if they aren't run-heavy. They were for a bit last season and they were tough to stop. Run the ball, take pressure off the qb, keep defenses honest. Slow down the mileage on your 55 million dollar qb.
