And yeah, Jonah’s injury history is starting to become a concern, but like I said previously, I’m not ready to freak out just yet. The one he had his first season wasn’t even on the field. I’m chalking that up to a fluke. That said, if he misses significant time again this season we might have a problem...
I have to wonder if getting Burrow comfortable under center would lead to more running plays being called. It was like they just didn't want to run out of shotgun much at all, and far too often, went empty set which is like telling the defense, no need to worry about the run, just bull rush.
Better play calling, better protection, and more balance. Have to see improvement there next season or it will just be a repeat of this year.
