Jameis was blitzed more times against Carolina but only took one sack but we will hear about a hot read more than what actually lost us that game..lol. Would things have been different if he was healthy? I believe so but we will never know. My fear is that Reich tries to sign him to the Panthers and he actually gets competent coaching.As Dan pointed out, there was no answer when he was blitzed. I don’t know why that was. But the offense couldn’t function.
The offense functioned moderately better with Dalton.
Here is another crazy thing.
Dalton threw more first downs than Jameis did in the Panthers game once while throwing for less than Jameis did in the Bucs game 5 times (while equaling it 3 times). The illusion of the offense "functioning" was predicated on the run game.
As for the red zone, here is a great article from the end of the 2020 season by an Athletic writer who covers the Raiders. He broke down the Raiders issues in short yardage and red zone and pointed to the issues Gruden had with playcalling, and even did a deep dive into how the Saints did a better job.
It actually got worse with McDaniels...
