Better offensive minds get better results with less.
Right. He's rolling out to the race with keys to a Ferrari, and it seems as if it would be hard to not have a formidable offense with Burrow and his weapons. He seems to be a likable dude , and I really liked how he involved the fanbase during the playoff run when showing up at local establishments in the city, but I can't help but wonder what the team's success rate would be at this point with a higher pedigreed coach. Maybe we would already be sitting with a Lombardi or two? The futility in developing a complimentary running attack has been annoying from the get-go. Through the first 7 games, they were the 4th worst league-wide in yards per game @ the ground. It did start getting a little better late this season. I wondered if he might have finally heard me after yelling at the television every week over the past few years (it even pissed me off during times of success w the team). And it wasn't all the OL either, as they also had the 4th fewest attempts during the span as well (the guards suck but the offense wo a rush attack begets a lot of hits on the qb regardless of the skillset of the line).
I'll stop venting now, as I could end up with a novel if I start yapping about concerns about the sustainability of this offense and the pressure it puts on the OL and Burrow himself.
