re: Is anyone still blown away that no defense has been able to find our tendencies?

We certainly have tendencies but the problem for defenses is no matter what they do we have an answer. With a QB like Burrow we have the pen last in the X and O matchup.

If you rush 3 and drop 8 Burrow has all day and our WRs are too good in the scramble drill for opposing DBs to cover that long.

If you send 4 and drop 7 and play zone now Burrow hits those 10-12 in breaking routes that Jefferson is so deadly on.

If you play M2M Burrow find the matchup he likes and gives his guy a chance. Our WRs are too good to be left on an island.

If you send 5 or 6 Burrow is just going to throw hot to Clyde or one of those quick slants and now you have a LB 1v1 with CEH or a safety or LB 1v1 with Jefferson or Moss. Burrow can also throw it deep in these situations because there will be no safety help.

If you try to play 2 high safeties all the time but use them as run fitters will RPO you to death. If you play 2 high and keep them deep you are 1 gap short in run fits.



This offense is so tough to stop bc Burrow is so darn efficient and smart with the football.
