INACCURATE MURRAY: What I Learned Watching Every Kyler Murray Dropback From Sunday's Game

I'm gonna tell you how many yards I think Jordan Addison should have had in this game, because it's a big number, but I watched every single Kyler Murray drop back, all 22 version, from Sunday's game.

And I, I think that this conversation got buried a little bit because you wake up Monday, Josh Oliver's out for the year, maybe.

How's Justin Jefferson doing? JJ McCarthy got traded, and we stop talking about the offensive struggles exhibited by Kyler Murray on Sunday.

And I went in with an, a curious, open mind, wondering what was the coverage the Bucs showed that, that stymied him, stifled him so much in the game.

My main takeaway, the inaccuracy was alarming.

I'll, I'll give you a few examples, specifically from the game.

Uh, his seventh drop back of the game in the first half, you remember this one? He tries to get it to Ty Felton on a third down by the sideline, and it was an inaccurate throw.

He overthrew him, but if it had been accurate, it might have been picked off for, uh, a pick six.

Kinda telegraphed it.

Cornerback was sitting on it.

Murray just pre-decided he was gonna throw the ball, and fortunately he was inaccurate, because it might have been picked off.

Other times, not fortunate that he was inaccurate.

He had a, uh, a screen pass to Aaron Jones, the simplest of throws, that he threw too high.

Jones couldn't reel it in.

Might have gone for a first down gain.

There was a, a massive TJ Hawkinson overthrow on a seam route over the middle that was incomplete, also on a third down.

A lot of these came on third down, and it's part of the reason why the Vikings were two of 15 on third down for the day.

The second half got really ugly, and there's one particular sequence where three drop backs in a row, he tries a back shoulder to Addison, and it isn't even close.

Like back shoulder at the sticks, that's just a timing throw.

It's, it's a chemistry throw.

Hopefully you've nurtured that throughout the off season.

Didn't even put it on his body.

Missed it badly out of bounds.

The next two drop backs, he tries to, to get it in, different coaches, different analysts have different names for it, the honey hole between the cornerback and the safety, and he had a lot of room.

He had the one where he led TJ Hawkinson out of bounds.
