Notes From The Game

But with that said, the entire design of the offense is dumb. It's WAY too passive, too many routes are too close to the LOS which lets the defense crowd the box, way out of balance run versus pass and way out of balance shotgun versus under center. It's easy to defense because the scheme does literally nothing to make the defense defend the whole field. Only 16 rushes to 29 passes? No RPO concepts? Roughly 90% shotgun?

At some point Zac has to just overrule Burrow if he is audibling to this garbage and force him to play under center so the line can actually block down - the new times we did that it was effective.

Defensively we knew we'd have issues with the loss of Jenkins and Jackson. We should have brought up Rogers instead of who we did and run the defense in more of a 4-3 look with Njongmeta in the middle. That would have given us more strength inside.

They have a week to fix it all because losing to the Chiefs would make us 0-2 in the AFC and without vitally need tiebreakers.

 

Burrow is a slow starter. It's a thing. It's happened every year he's been in the league. He"I'll be playing at an MVP level by week 4.
