A look at how #9 thinks.
In this 3-part series, we will talk about Netflix’s Quarterback. What did we learn about the man, the myth, the legend Joe Burrow?
In LA, they trade you with 30 seconds of warning. In Atlanta, they back up the Brinks truck and draft your replacement. In Cincinnati, they buy you an authentic Samurai sword. We are not the same.
Joe Burrow is all about details. He and Ja’Marr Chase know each other so well that they always seem to be on the same page. Chase knows where Burrow is going to put the ball in a certain situation. Burrow knows how to get Chase a ball that he can convert not only to a catch, but to yards after the catch.
From the subtlest of gestures to discussions about how they ran a certain route five years ago. These two have got communication figured out.
Joe Burrow is a high-energy human being. He can’t stand being on a boat because he feels like it’s too much of a time commitment, and he can see everything pretty quickly.
He watches documentaries but gets bored. So he watches YouTube videos and teaches himself to play the piano. Then he sets up stations with activities around his house and spends fifteen minutes at a time doing different things to keep himself engaged.
When the season approaches, he can feel his energy build.
During the season, he reminds himself to stay disciplined and consistent. He must not get bored with the monotony of the season.
He ends the season watching a game at home by himself, eating what appears to be a Reuben or maybe some sort of pastrami sandwich with coleslaw. Either way, he can’t do anything to change the outcome of the AFC East game he is watching, and he knows that sucks.
