Our O-line has a lot of issues but in the offseason we added two new starters with one of them being the first O-lineman taken in the 2019 draft. So it is silly to claim the team ignored the O-line.
And the same guys who claim we have to build with young talent from the draft are some of the same ones claiming that we should have given up on a fourth round pick (Jordan) after his rookie season.
Seriously?!..the guy was balling today and got his knee shredded and you are implying with your opening comment its his fault?
A lot of the plays today were pass plays called by ZT..often with empty backfield.
He was asked to complete more passes in the first half than any other QB this year .vs. the WFT strength.
If anything Burrows decision making and quick throws were helping to get it done and protecting the O Line (and him) in the first half.
