I really don't get it either, especially since our pass blocking wasn't great because the a way to neutralize the pass rush is to let defenders rush up field and then throw a screen to take advantage of the vacated areas.
The only problem is that screens work best when the defense blitzes because the defenders are in the backfield and you toss it over their heads to the back behind the line of scrimmage, but our line was so bad last season that we faced the least amount of blitzes in the league but still gave up the third-most pressures.
Hopefully this is Burrow's best line and they can be good enough to make running screens effective.
