A couple of good examples are the deep ball to the end zone, down the Left sideline. I don't think many QBs can drop a ball in the basket as well as Joe did, it's just too bad that the receiver was looking the wrong direction. Another was one of those quick release throws, where the slot man was wide open with room to run on a slant route from the right side. I think the ball just bounced off the guy's chest. Seems like there were a couple more good examples, but those two stuck out to me the most.
Yes, there were a few plays where the Receivers didn't help Joe out for sure. Love how he throws players open and how he
is so comfortable navigating the pocket. He makes defenders look silly and makes it so the Corners have to try and cover all
day which is impossible. Rare abilities that we have always needed in a QB.

My fear is the Bengals tag Green , give Mixon big money and sign a bunch of our own below average players and cry poor in free agency. There’s only one good free agent tackle in Jack Concklin from the Titians who the Bengals probably won’t overpay for. I know they don’t like to pay guards but there are some good young guards hitting the market in , Joe Tuney NE, Brandon Scherff Was , and Graham Glasgow Det.
Definitely have to help Burrow out and get the Line solid for him no question.

In Joe Burrow's situation, it's literally impossible for him to have been a "system" guy. Before he went to LSU, they had no wide-open offensive style. They literally changed their entire offensive mind set at the time Joe came to town.
And we should do the same after last season's poor Offensive production. I do like how Turner changed up the blocking scheme
and it resulted in Mixon and the running game really improving. Need to bring back Mixon to who is a great pass catcher and a
good back at picking up the blitz. We need to try and emulate LSU's Offense as much as possible to keep Burrow comfortable.
