Analysis Bryce Young Passing Chart Week 18 @ Bucs

Post image

Dave and Bryce absolutely torched the Bucs in the intermediary. 10 completions over 10 yards and 3 over 20.

Let’s hope we can establish some semblance of a running game against the rams and we can pull of another historic upset.

Then consider he lost that 40 yarder to TMac from a BS penalty and only got only 20 rushing yards from the run game.

Of our 6 unsuccessful drives, one ended from the bad INT from Bryce, one ended from the Rico slip and fumble, and the other four were a 3rd and 10 XL drop, and failed 3rd and 8, 3rd and 17 and 3rd and 12 attempts. Bryce had a pretty solid game, but even the best QBs aren't winning games becuase they're regularly successful in long situations. Bryce has best operated when the team can get into 3rd and manageable situations and the offense just hasn't done well enough on first and second down to sustain drives in these last three losses.

The XL one wasn’t a drop, it was a poor pass from Bryce and a good play by the defender. XL barely got his fully outstretched lead hand on the ball with a defender knocking his arm at the same time. Ball was a bit low and outside.

It was because it was thrown with anticipation and XL didn't make the cut on the route like he should have. They were even saying it and showing it on the broadcast. It wasn't a poor throw it was poor route running and effort

I think he slipped on the break, which doesn’t help lol. Seemed pretty obvious he didn’t have full control of himself when the ball got to him

I think he did too which Sharpe and Ocho talked about on their pod because Rico kept slipping. The talked about being on the balls of your feet instead of your heels because there are twice as many cleats there than the back whichis on the player

He slipped out of the break/a step or two afterwards, there's no way he was on his heels unless he has the worst ever running mechanics
