Throwing the football wasn't a problem before Burrow went down. Yes, it was a lot of short to intermediate routes, but that was due in part to having to get rid of the football. Still, if Burrow doesn't get hurt this team would have had two 1,000 yard receivers.
Can they get faster at the position? Sure. But Monday night I saw at least 3 times where receivers were open downfield behind defenders and Finley underthrew them. One was the play Boyd suffered a concussion on.
Agree. Getting a speed receiver before fixing the o-line is a horse-before-cart move. This team needs to improve on both lines before they start thinking about putting another Ferrari in the garage. Knowing Mike Brown, it wouldn't surprise me one bit to see them do the exact opposite of the correct thing. He loves his shiny toys.
