lomaxgrUK Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Bolles and Massie getting killlllllled in pass pro. But look at the difference in Burrow under pressure (slide, shrug off rush) vs Bridgewater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bMiller031 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 I wonder if there is a Russell Westbrook effect on these WRs. You’re out there for 60-70 plays per game and, because of the pace and structure of the O, only 8-12 of those are targeting a WR. It can’t be easy to maintain top-level urgency, enthusiasm, rhythm, etc. on every route. The skill guys - particularly Fant, Sutton, Jeudy - look so lethargic and lifeless out there. I wonder if it’s a cascading effect of playing in such an undynamic offense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Chubb got away with a massive late hit there. DL is going to get pressure, but man Burrow is so impressive with his pocket awareness. His deep shot to Chase that was wiped out by the hold the prior drive was pure Burrow magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he'll be more explosive physically next year, but you have to leverage those opps. Jeudy was rightfully criticized for his drops last year, but they were very correctable, as Sutton's drops have been. Just doesn't mean he doesn't deserve anything but criticism. If this O falls behind 2+ scores, it gets pretty iffy. It magnifies drive-kiling plays so much more. To your point though - yes, a good QB can help the WR play elevate even more. We've seen WR's crater when they lose their top tier QB. It's also why paying WR's elite $ is so iffy. Only a few truly deserve it.
