Burrow though.. He's special. Couldn't be more impressed. I can see him learning game by game too. He's making rookie mistakes. But he just bounces back and throws completion after completion. That throw to AJ in the endzone that got swatted away was just beautiful. He just placed it in AJ's hands perfectly.
I'm confident in the direction of the offense. They need to keep drafting lineman. A solid guard/tackle in round 2 would be amazing (if one fell). Wouldn't mind a first round OT, but I like what I've seen from our tackles this year. They have along ways to go, but I think they've done alright. I think Hart has gotten better as the year went along. He could still develop into a good RT. But hey, if an elite OT were there in the 1st, take him. But at this point I think pass rusher is our biggest need. Def. don't want a guard in the 1st as we won't resign him to a 2nd contract. But in the end, it's smartest to go with the best player available--like we did this year.
Agree with everything you say here man. Yeah, that throw to AJ in the end zone was beautiful especially since Burrow had to pick
the ball off the ground first. Haven't seen that before from a rookie. The lack of panic from Burrow is so frickin' rare man.
Dive into FA for the O-line the way they did the D last FA and Draft D-line and we could be going from sucky to damn good relatively
quickly with Burrow and these weapons.
