Our offensive scheme

I think the issue is largely scheme. Going Cover 2 basically blows our offense up.

In our SB year, how many big plays came from Chase or Higgins making a crazy good catch or run after catch? That's not a scheme, it's relying on individual talent to overcome lack of scheme.

I saw some next generation stats and Burrow only threw 5 or 6 balls over 10 yards. Dink and dunk.

Now that Burrow is highly paid, it takes salary away from other parts of the team. So you have less veterans and more young guys to make mistakes. And our scheme doesn't help them.

I do feel as if our offensive plays are never meant to get more than 5 yards and i feel like on D we’re rely on the idea of “rally to the ball” i bit too much.


Some games last year i literally sat and watched Lou allow 4 straight dump offs to backs. I wanna say Houston did that to us. Had whole drives where they called the same damn play cause Lou wouldn’t switch up
