Episode notes
Panthers’ Run-First Gameplan Worked Wonders
- The Panthers built a gameplan around an aggressive, run-first approach that repeatedly attacked the Rams' front and simplified reads for Bryce Young.
- That approach created sustained success but raises sustainability concerns against tougher upcoming run defenses.
Baker’s Downfield Volume Is Alarming
- Baker Mayfield showed very low downfield aggression with only 73 catchable air yards and a 3.7-yard average depth on catchable balls in the game mentioned.
- The Bucs' pass protection and pocket structure further suppressed deep passing opportunities despite weapons returning.
Trevor Lawrence Is Throwing Downfield More
- Trevor Lawrence has been aggressively targeting downfield opportunities, averaging ~200 catchable air yards over the past two months.
- Liam Cohen’s design amplified Lawrence’s strengths with intermediate-to-deep concepts and improved ball placement.
