The o-line held up pretty good last night after the first couple of series which is good. The problem is that as talented as an offense they are just so boring and vanilla, and when they try to get all cute and silly, they just mess it up all the way around.
Taylor and Burrow need to get together and look at ways to fix how they are going to beat the cover 2 that teams are showing every week. As of now they still have not figured it out 5 games in. The Ravens hardly run zone, but last night that’s pretty much all they did because they know Burrow can’t win that way. When other teams went away from the zone coverage, Burrow is able to beat teams deep. They need to find a short game, slants, get the ball out quick, try and use Chris Evens in a screen game, do something to force teams out of it. So far they are clueless and have no clue what to do. I don’t know if other teams have this issue or what, but figure it out and that will probably help everything else.
