The Bucs Chiefs game in 2020 when Tyreek had like 200 yards in the first quarter was the last straw for teams. Mahomes adjusted in 2021 but Allen never didDeath of the long pass? Air yards are down across the NFL, and here's why
While NFL passing offenses remain prolific, the actual length and distance of attempts is trending down. Why? One-year blip or broader trend?www.espn.com
It's like I said in the Bills/Jets thread - put the ball in your playmakers' hands and let them go to work.
It's why players like Tua will do fine this era. Make good pre-snap reads, enough evadability to stay upright and go through progressions. As long as they can make a quick pass to their best players they don't have to make crazy downfield passes except maybe once-in-a-while to keep a defense honest. Especially when you have a player like Tyreek who can go crazy vertical at any second, but also insanely shifty enough to do insane damage with YAC.
