But Joe is saying if the offense is struggling as is the opponent or other words a defensive battle you don’t get reckless. If it’s a high scoring game then you can’t be conservative. I know 3 former OU OC’s with 5 NC’s. All 3 had specific plays they would run to root out how the defense planned to play them. But it’s also matchups. In our 2 victories ( 1 voided); over Buffalo the staff knew they’d have success offensively and were aggressive. They also were aggressive on the road versus SF. So if a team plays them like they expected then they are more aggressive. So it makes perfect sense what Joe is saying.

Yep. A lot of times, we play conservative then open up the offense in the 2nd half and start to throw deep.

I think some of it too is that he realizes the line is bad and if we throw deep the whole game it might expose Burrow to hits.

We played Washington and they had a top pass rush a few years ago and we tried to get aggressive and pass a lot...and Burrow got his knee shredded. Maybe that was just a freak thing and happens even if we go conservative, who knows? But, generally more hits are bad.
