Mauck is a huge liability. Dude melted in most big games in 2003.

2003's scheme would have been torn apart by Burrow b/c it was way too reliant on the blitz.

The problem is arguing how 2003 would look in a softer, more zone look. With its lack of natural pass rushers at edge, that's a problem.

They said that Jason White would do that, too. 2003 shut him down and Eli Manning. This is all fictitious obviously, but I don't think it is in the spirit of the exercise to assume away a matchup by insisting that 2003 wouldn't try to put together a plan to actually stop 2019.

"2003's scheme would have been torn apart by Burrow b/c it was way too reliant on the blitz."

This would be a big problem for 03. Even if you assume a couple of big plays, maybe even a pick 6 for 03, Burrow and his elite corps of receivers would just keep coming. I don't see Mauck & co being able to keep up.
