I don't understand why they run so few motions. Usually it could help reading a defense better or perhaps getting a better matchup if throwing it. Maybe even pull a defender away from where they are running it too.
Anyways not that it matters but the bottom 8 teams with least motions all loss for what that is worth. Not proof that it is a must by any means, but I would think using it more often can only be a benefit.
My best guess is Burrow doesn’t like them.
Same how he doesn’t like turning his back to the defense
If that’s true then it would make sense he doesn’t like shifts defenses make to respond to motion
He seems to be a snapshot QB. He takes a mental snapshot of the defense immediately post snap then he makes reads based off his guess off the snapshot.
