Did Bryce Young have any tipped balls at the LOS??

I thought he would struggle greatly here, among other struggles..

 

 But for the life of me, I do not recall even 1 tipped pass across the DL. 

 

Anyone back that up??

 

Weird that Baker mayfield had huge issues here and the second he was another team, he was cured......

 

Guess All I have left is a lack of QB sneaks........

 

This might've been the source.

Should note that Brees also was pretty good at not having passes batted down.

Not sure about 2024 but Mayfield still had an issue with batted passes in his first year with the Bucs. He is 6'1" which is still short by NFL standards. It's possible it's a case of something Mayfield does that telegraphs to a defensive player when he's going to throw.

His footwork in the pocket has improved, he's using his eyes more down field to move defenders and he's challenging defenses more with his legs so dlineman can't put their hands up and lose leverage as much anymore. I feel like he was afraid or coached not to run last year or schematically put in back positions where he didnt have flexibility in the pocket (majority of snaps in shotgun, bad run schemes)

This guy says it at the 5:00 minute mark.  Only place I’ve heard it.

There is a column for balls batted down at or behind the los.  

FYI, Baker Mayfield still gets a lot of them batted down.  He had 20 last year.  I think that was highest in the league.

Bryce had a lot of problems.  He still has a lot of issues he needs to fix.

But even when I turned my back on him, one thing I've ALWAYS been consistent about is his size is NOT the issue people make it out to be.  His issues were issues I've seen 6'5ft guys have.  His lack of size stops him from being able to compensate for those issues like Cam Newton could, but they weren't size-related issues if that makes sense.  

I still need to see more out of him next season, but his size is the last thing on my mind.

Perhaps we should give credit to Canales.  Everywhere he's gone now, he has fixed QBs.  Bryce Young looks to be his greatest work yet.

It’s okay, brother.  I’m still working off my first helping of crow.   There’s still plenty to go around.  

 

Bro I ate the "Hes not tough enough crow last year, same this..." and the "playing better than evar thought capable of" pie this year. Not like Im holding to hope about being right, but this is not over even with the late season spread he laid out. I will happily eat more crow if he continues to play better. I've already joined the "he needs another weapon" group.

you are right and that's a good point. I've been hard on Dave and BY. Each are young and learning, Im honest in saying I had no hope for the pairing. Each showed at times growth, moxie(lolols), and enough to give me some first feel hope. I was super impressed with the 4th game winning drives that others fail to finish. Both had to deal with poor defense and lack of talent, many times they over came it.

Passes batted down. Can't see over the middle. Extensive injuries 

All issues with Bryce being too small. Did I miss anything? 

 

Im guilty on all counts.... I'd like to use my panther prayer for judgement please....

    • Who were we going to trade up with? The Dolphins wanted Proctor, the Rams were vehement on taking Ty Simpson, the Ravens wanted Ioane, and the Bucs werent trading with us except for maybe a kings ransom. Even if we wanted to move, we had no partner. Moot point.
    • Devin Lloyd is a stud lb but who is next to him? Prince and Nic should improve. Lee was super value but i am not counting this fourth round chicken yet. I would expect some improvement; hope to eat my words w/ a top ten D.  
    • I mean I agree about diminished Cam probably still being viable. Even though it gave a preview of how teams would defend the pass against a limited QB. There was an issue with the upcoming contract he was due to get and his expectations vs the new reality of his physical status - that people tend to  overlook when looking back on it  It had an effect on things I believe   But I do have to ask… what about Tepper’s second major move? fuging clueless   I mean I would take even an injured  Cam over Bryce all day long.
