Practice is learning techniques, schemes, and to prepare for when it gets live, which the preseason is a nice warm-up for the season. Hopefully it gets our team flowing in a good direction heading into the real games.
I can't wait to see Burrow with his new weapons and a capable offensive line!
Yes, I know Sled says that practice is the most important but there is something to say about playing against another NFL team's
starters in the Preseason with your own starters. Gives confidence to the players and gains chemistry before the real games begin.

Maybe even a whole quarter in the last game
I’m just tired of starting slow and if i have to pick a struggle i pick being afraid every preseason snap to ensure he comes in the season ready
Well the year before last it was an appendectomy and then last season it was Training Camp where Burrow got hurt so shit just
happens regardless of if Burrow plays in the Preseason or not. But the OL not playing in the Preseason I think clearly has been a
problem the last few years and a reason why we have played so poorly early in the regular season.
This is good news that Zac and the coaches are recognizing this and are going to do things differently.

Makes sense, I honestly only like RPO's when Burrow calls them because he sees something with the Defense or he just takes
off when there is a big hole instead of the RPO's. As long as we don't run 100% Shotgun I think the Offense should be just fine
this season. We all know we will run a lot of Shotgun, but the problem was 100% Shotgun early last season because of the calf.
