For everyone concerned about the defense getting torched on Friday, this is from The Athletic...
Remember that Joe Burrow 6-of-6 touchdown drive that we wrote about after Friday’s scrimmage? Well, this is how the rookie quarterback’s first four drop-backs went Sunday in the team’s return to the field:
Overthrow. Sack (Sam Hubbard). Sack (D.J. Reader). Coverage sack.
And it didn’t stop there as the defensive line spent most of the practice in the offensive backfield, disrupting or outright erasing what head coach Zac Taylor and offensive coordinator Brian Callahan intended for Burrow to do.
“I think overall we had a really good day today,” defensive line coach Nick Eason said. “These guys are being very coachable and doing the things we’re asking them to do and slowly progressing to where we can be a dominant force.”
