Opposition defenders have no fear that TL and the WRs will punish them if the D overcommits to pass rushing. If a team overcommits against Mahomes, he will punish them 9 times out of 10. If a team overcommits against TL, they will be punished 1 time out of 10.

Teams do not respect TL and the offence’s ability to punish a big rush. Because TL cannot read the field pre-snap, TL will miss the punishing read and take the short dump 90% of the time. The receivers drop half these and are cleaned up by a waiting defender on most of the catches.


This board continually complains that everyone else on the team needs to lift so that TL can shine. How about TL lifts a little and brings the rest of the club with him? At some point DP is going to be forced to sit TL for a less gifted athlete but in the hope that the #2 can actually read the game and deliver.
