He said once he earned respect at LSU he talked them into more 5-man protection. It's why his number jumped so. Of course this may lead to a few more sacks but it also leads to a hell of a lot more big plays.

Coach O (LSU) said he was in a room with Burrow and 8 other lifetime football people and he said after 2 hours of talking it was obvious Joe was the smartest one in the room. Coach O also said: "Do you have anymore of them french fried potatoes.

It's definitely worth stating he likes the 5 man protection.  An article summarized it:

Quote:Statistically, it shows that when you're in five-man protection, five-man protections give up less sacks… A lot of people think when you get a lot of pressure, you need to bring the box in and bring in max protections, seven-man protections. But I think when you actually go five-man protection, you actually get the ball out faster. You limit what defenses can do.” – Joe Brady via lsusports.net
