Yep, we were successful when Taysom was decisive and accurate with the football, but the problem is that he was only decisive and accurate with the football for a quarter. I'm not suggesting to stop passing, but it needs to look different. Asking Taysom to be a pocket passer and go through progressions isn't the recipe to winning. More play-action, easy high-low reads. He'll eventually have to do it on 3rd and longs, but the idea is getting to less 3rd and longs if we're running what we're good at on early downs.

After we had gone 3 and out for our first four possessions in the 2nd half, what got us going in the 4th quarter enabling us to get that FG? Playaction bootleg, easy short pass to Callaway and with plenty of room for YAC, resulting in 17 yards.

After we're in FG range, and we just need to not screw it up, what almost blew the game?



2nd down drop-back, Taysom throwing into coverage in what should have been intercepted with plenty of grass to run. It's either a pick 6 to give them the lead, or at the very least the ball is deep in our territory with Tampa still down 6.

We have to run what we're good at. Taysom being a dropback passer ain't it.
