Joe is not slow, but Joe is no Lamar Jackson or Kyler Murray. So Joe needs better protected in the pocket, because he is looking to throw first, not run.

It's odd.... It looks like we play 2 different offenses. We have the wide-zone running offense that we use when Joe is under center. And then we have some odd hybrid Burrow at LSU and McVay shotgun offense where all receivers run patterns that are at least 10-15 yards long and never develop in enough time to let Burrow make a decision.

At the very least it would be interesting to let Evans get some time working out of the shotgun sets and either get handoffs or short passes. Seems like that would probably work.

Boomer was loving it when we used the play action.

yea, we were forcing some things even when they didn't work.

Seems like they are struggling more at tackle than anything else. To be fair to the tackles, they just played Watt and Parsons..... This stuff will probably even out. I'm more concerned that Burrow appears to be seeing ghosts back there
