Brock Purdy And 8.62 Seconds To Throw A TD

November 11th, 2024

Chris Braswell, K.J. Britt, Vita Vea and Calijah Kancey aren’t going to like this.

For NFL quarterbacks, 3 seconds is a lot of time to throw a touchdown pass while 3 3/4 second would feel a like Black Friday shopping spree at Best Buy. Six seconds is rare, unless you’re an elite scrambler or Baker Mayfield holding off Nick Bosa like he’s an annoying child.

But 8.62 seconds? That’s the kind of stuff that only happens a handful of times per season.

Bucs fans watched it unfold yesterday. Official NFL NextGen stats spelled it out in the action graphic below.

San Francisco QB Brock Purdy had that much time on his key touchdown throw to George Kittle. Bucs backup cornerback Josh Hayes did a solid job in coverage but got outlasted by a Pro Bowl tight end.

    Hopefully Daniel Jones won’t get that much time to throw.

  2. SBucs Says:

    Purdy had enough time to make a ham sandwich.

  3. #1bucsfan Says:

    For how bad Hayes was in previous games he had some nice coverage and pass breakups. Champ Bailey would eventually lose his guy if a QB has almost 9 sec to thro. This defense has bin terrible to watch

    How much time did qbs have with a prime Shaq and JPP attacking them?

  5. Usedtocould Says:

    Is that bad?

  6. Bosch Says:

    Simply incapable of shedding a block. Every Buc rusher is below average among starters or back up quality. This defense cannot be improved without an upgrade in personnel.

  7. Dave Pear Says:

    But, Anthony Nelson covering Christian McCaffery is genius. Extend Lovie for 10 years so we can be treated to more great ideas like that.

    Bosch, or an upgrade in coaching. Since you can’t fire all the players there is only one recourse. Kancy actually looked like he regressed in that game pre Syracuse.

    You are right, Joe. We all saw it unfold yesterday. Purdy has been well protected too with not as many sacks as a majority of the QBs. Usually a QB takes under 3 seconds to throw, almost 9 seconds is way too long. That makes this a red flag on our defense too. No pressure.

  10. Pewter Power Says:

    Go Watch Chris Braswell it is the most pathetic display at pass rushing I’ve ever seen, dude is Anthony Nelson 2.0. You mean to say Todd Bowles thought him and Anthony Nelson were his best weapons? Does Braswell really rush the passer better than Ramirez, he has business in the game on a final drive. Bowles has no idea what he’s doing

    ^^^This.^^^

  12. Defense Rules Says:

    Great photo of Brasswell being blocked on that play Joe. He looks like a midget compared to whichever 49ers OLineman is blocking him there. But I saw that all day long … our DLinemen (and LBs) were ‘owned’ on almost all plays. They couldn’t get off of their blocks to create consistent pressure on Purdy.

    49ers tried their best to hand us the game, but we just refused to take the gift. Once again we beat ourselves.

  13. Hodad Says:

    Not only do the Bucs have trouble getting to the QB, they also can’t contain them from escaping to the outside, and either making a throw, or running for big gains. It happens time after time to YaYa, and JTS. It’s maddening to watch, either it’s not being coached, or our outside guys just never learn. One play I saw Yaya make a spin move inside only to watch Purdy run around his side for a big gain. Hopefully next year we’ll find a D.C. who can do a better job.

    in plain and simple layman’s terms…

    “bowles defense is getting werked”

    and yes, that’s werked with a “e”

  15. Hearty Dikerson Says:

    JTS
    Hall
    Kancey
    Braswell

    Not a single one of these costly picks are living up to their draft status. Even taking away all the snaps where they drop in coverage, the plays where they do rush are terrible. They look slow, weak and disinterested. Keep up the great drafting, ring-of-honor Licht.

  16. Rod Munch Says:

    Here’s an idea, if you’re not getting pressure with 4, then send 5.

    I know, amazing, remarkable, stunning revolutionary idea for certain.

  17. Fred McNeil Says:

    Pathetic…just pathetic.

  18. Fred McNeil Says:

    Maybe I can join the team as a walk on? All I have to do is get close enough to beat him with my cane.

  19. Another J Says:

    The sad part about it all…
    JTS was the only person that touched Brock at all, the entire game!
    Not a single defensive lineman could manage to be a block yesterday,it was pitiful.

  20. unbelievable Says:

    This also shows how some data and stats can be twisted.

    They give his stats while “under pressure” for the day, but I’m sorry, if you have 8+ fricking seconds to throw, or even 6 or 4, you’re simply not under pressure. You just had to move around in in the pocket.

    Stop with the nonsense.

  21. Dave Pear Says:

    Novel concept here, kind of spitballing.

    What might happen to the pass rush if Lovie actually taught the pass rushers how to rush the passer, and then — GASP — called a defense where the pass rushers actually did rush the passer. Instead of covering deep zones and matching up with Christian McCaffery types. I know. Crazy.

    Ask fruit loops what he thinks about it.
