I wonder who's responsibility the free rusher was. JT thought it was on the RB due to TE + RG going hard left, but maybe it was an RPO?

I don't think so...typically on a RPO, the OL will wait a beat before going downfield, but you can see all of the OL sit back in a pass block set. I think JT is right that someone just blew an assignment. If I had to guess, I think it's on Etienne which doesn't surprise me given he's a rook.

edit: watching the end of the video from the QB view, it also looks like a good designed look by Miami by showing 7 but dropping the LDE back and rotating the rush to overload the right side, think that essentially left Icky and Lewis to block one guy and left Moton and Tremble 1 on 1 with their own men and no one to account for the right most rusher

For Thielen? It absolutely is.

Which other seasons were better than 2017, 2018, and 2023 for AT?

What if your job said you could keep your salary, work next to no hours, and move back home?

He gave up 2 mil also. He really wanted to be home.

I would think y'all would get tired of the same debate.  Bryce Young's weekly stat line:

X/Y for 60% and 1xx yards with 1 TD and 2 turnovers. When we need better than that we ain't winning.

Until the player shuts everybody up, or is shipped out, this is life.

‘16, ‘17, ‘18, ‘20, ‘21 are all easily better than ‘23 and it’s really not particularly close. You need to take into account the context and situations and more stats than just yards lol. Under 10 yards per reception is terrible. He barely put up decent yardage and had a lot of catches because he was de facto #1 in a terrible offense and check down Bryce would feed him balls, largely in garbage time since the team was so atrocious that year. He was fine but it was about as far from a “career year” as you can get. And anyone who has actually watched the guy play throughout his career could tell that here he was never anywhere near the weapon he was in his prime in Minnesota.

The turnovers are what poo me. Our receiving core have left some meat on the bone stat wise through drops and bad execution. I'm pretty sure Dowdle is the first bloke to break a tackle all year

I hate how the collective bargaining agreement has nearly ruined football, BY needs practice and lots more of it. But due to rules and such, he's unable to do so with teammates. Him and Hunter just need a couple hard week to get in sync, same for healthy XL.

You couldn’t be more right about that. It is also why the early season football stinks.

He stayed pretty composed after those turnovers, I would be cursing up a storm. Even after that big 4th down throw to Horn

That’s what I noticed. After watching this I thought maybe he has more of an it factor than we all think. Or maybe he just turned a corner here.

I didn’t appreciate this throw enough in real time 

Stats may say the complete opposite, but I swear Bryce is better and shows great glimpses when he doesn't have time to think. Feel like down the stretch last year he was one of the best against blitzes, but also may have to do with opening the middle of the field up.

The throw in the video, he had one play here and no time to think about it. If he could play loose, I think this is closer to the Bryce we get. I think his "super processing" is actually not the strength people wanted it to be, but his biggest hinderance. He overthinks, he screws up.
