I was a believer solely based on his name throughout the draft process.

And he’s a Duck.

Ducks are cool. Ducks rule.

It’s about time we have a coach in this city that has that philosophy.

Does he have any friends that coach hockey?

Does an educated individual have any insight on the Bucs number here and how it compares to their typical game-plan?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Never forget.

 

[Young Sandwich]

Never forget.

Singleton was wide open there. Beautiful pass by Mullens right where it needed to be.

Tampa was 3rd in the league in Blitz% during the 2020 regular season. I don't have playoff numbers handy.

Since that's raw amount of blitzes over a 1 game sample, I would guess that it's an outlier caused in part by a high blitz rate team playing against a team that took the 5th most offensive snaps this week.

Do you think that’s inversely why Dallas passed 400 times and why Dak apparently checked out of several called runs?

I would imagine that's part of it along with game script and how many of those blitzes were openly shown pre-snap. I saw the Kellen Moore quote that he checked out of 12/28 running calls, which is an extremely high number on any scale.

Here's something else that backs that up. One of the nerds does an early down Passing Rate vs Expected and Dallas was at +28% with the next closest team being Tampa at +16%. We know for sure that they weren't throwing because they were forced into long yardage situations. It also somewhat kills the game script idea and pushes that toward a minor factor.

I absolutely love it, I can’t wait to follow for the next 16 weeks. I wonder how long Moore winds up sticking around there.

Didn’t even have to leave town. They have been getting killed with injuries the last year+.

Joe and Troy motherducker.

 

[Sombastate]

You truly cannot even breathe on a QB without a penalty

 

[trigzter]

thought the reskins D would be formidable this year. I've been wrong before

 

[FLYguy3911]

Was the injury that bad?

I rewinded it. You can see his leg the opposite direction.

Romo would probably think it’s just cramps.
