Next Gen Stats Week 1

[Smithers]

We all knew this, but here’s some stats to back it up.  The OL did a great job giving Bryce time, but our WRs had very little separation.

Yikes... all below average basically. I'm assuming the Shenault number is skewed by how he's utilized off the line for the gadget plays.

Nice spread. Got to work on those chunk plays though.  They've got to work on the routing running and communication between Bryce and the receivers.  It will get better in time.

[RevJ]

Maybe Mingo thought he was playing CB so he was

staying close to the guys in the black uniform ? ? ?

[The Natural]

Man, I really hate that TMJ slowed up on that 40 yarder....

he didn't think it was coming....and you can see why.  That didn't look to be part of the gameplan.

Green dots over the middle is pretty encouraging for a short QB we just have absolutely no deep threat and Bryce and/or the WRs have bad chemistry right now on the routes. A lot of incompletions are thrown in the vicinity but always off by a a few yards I noticed so unsure who that can be on. Honestly I'm still just stunned by Bryce's calmness in the pocket, it's a very encouraging sign for me and one of the things that has me excited to just watch more of him. Took a shot deep and overshot Mingo by a yard or so, he's going to connect on these eventually. Just can't have two picks obviously.

It was. It just didn't happen according to Frank.  I think he said they ended up calling 4 or 5 but they only were able to throw 2 of those and missed both.  That would have changed the game if they connected on at least 1 of those.

I didn't get to watch the full 2nd half.  Where is the Mingo throw? I assume on the all Bryce throws video they accidently showed a run play in it's place? 

[NAS]

Can we get Laviska more involved?  I thought he's supposed to our new Deebo

He missed Mingo on the 20 yarder that he was wide open, not sure what quarter it was. The miss to TMJ was the 40 yard pass TMJ pulled up on. These young WRs have to learn to finish their routes even when they think the ball is not coming to them. Bryce can actually get past his second read so they better be ready on every series. It's just a communication thing they're going to have to work on.

Oh, I got you.  I was thinking it was a 2nd deep throw I somehow missed in the 2nd half like the TMJ one was based on what some said.

It just looked like whatever could go wrong did go wrong. We beat ourselves really.  From timing to turnovers and penalties, you name it. We won every statistical category but the scoreboard. I hate to borrow a phrase from Ron but it was truly missed opportunities all game long.
