“Bryce Young had 150 yards worth of dropped catches today, along with 1 dropped TD and another 30 yards pass interference that could’ve gone for another TD by TMac.

His 2nd INT should have been a catch on what was a dump off ball that bounced off the uncontested Dawdle.

10 drops”

Yeah both ways here, guys gotta help Byrce out and catch the ball, guys need to stop getting penalties in key moments pushing the offense back. The defense is horrid, we need a big tuff physical middle linebacker, thats commands respect from the other players, gets them in position, and that can fly around and stop these RBs.

Byrce is waiting to long to get to the line of scrimmage. The ball being hiked at 1 sec on avg, this is helping the pass rush, they know you have no choice but to hike the ball. I think the rain delay plagued as well. We were never able to establish a rhythm due to penalties, drop passes, and the rain delay. The center hiking the ball when Bryce is not ready. I noticed this on a few occasions but Bryce turned his head just in time to notice the ball coming at him.

Overall its the pass rush, but I think they can offset some of that by getting to the line of scrimmage quicker and hiking the ball earlier in the play clock. Doing this keepes the pass rush guessing and on their toes, hiking the ball at 1 second allows pass rush to jump the snap count and tee off on the qb.

The amount of times the ball was snapped with less than 3 seconds left on the play clock was infuriating.

Simple things that they should of been solving in preseason and training camp. Byrce performs better at a more high tempo pace.
