From the article

Joe Burrow was playing under center more, handing it off more than we're used to seeing, and checking it down quite a bit. This approach aligns with what we've seen in camp and gathered about what Dan Pitcher wants to do on offense. And that's a good thing, as it should help protect Burrow better.

STACKED’s take

Burrow's role shifting to more conservative scheme with increased under-center play.

Bengals offensive scheme shifting toward more conservative play-calling under new coordinator Dan Pitcher; Burrow playing under center more, handing off more frequently, and checking down more than in prior seasons. This approach is designed to improve pass protection and align with camp observations. Burrow appeared tentative in preseason debut, which the source attributes to his injury history and typical slow starts.
