I’m always interested in how running backs are used considering their talent and the amount of time they play in each game that has been discussed. bucks I quickly understood the gist of this game, Riding Bucky Irving. They didn’t try to hide it or hide it in deciding to play him. Tampa Bay threw him around and dared the Panthers to stop him, but they couldn’t do it.
What’s even more interesting is that Rashard White was used 36% of the time, when he and Irving are usually used about the same amount. For example, last week. Irving’s approval rating was 57%, while White’s approval rating was 50%. This week, Irving maintained a similar 55% average, while White’s numbers dropped. Third-string running back Sean Tucker also played 19% of the snaps, but it felt like more.
Payne Durham scored his first career touchdown and Devin Culp made his first career catch, finishing third in the Bucs’ all-time receiving yards list with three receptions for 52 yards. , it was a great day for the tight end. Last week Durham played 93% in place of Cade Otton, but in this game he scaled back a bit and played 77%, while Culp played 26% and was really meaningful.
Again, this match was a disaster, so many players sat out the match. Baker Mayfield was replaced by Kyle Trask late in the fourth quarter.
Looking at Tampa Bay’s wide receivers, Jalen McMillan led the group with a snap completion rate of 69%, with Mike Evans not far behind at 62%. Had the game been closer, Evans probably would have taken the lead. As offensive coordinator Liam Cohen said, Ryan Miller will replace the injured Sterling Shepard, and he will play 56% of the snaps, with Rakim Jarrett and Trey Palmer each playing 32% of the snaps. % and 30%.

Thanks to this big win, defensive tackle Kariya Kanshi didn’t have to play 95% of the snaps like he did last game. Kansi scored 62%, but it wasn’t the best for his position either, as Vita Vea played the most at 68%.
Does this mean Anthony Nelson played the most among outside linebackers at 68%, with Yaya Diaby second at 62%? Probably not, but heading into the season finale must be monitored.
Inside linebacker KJ Britt returned from injury this week but was barely used. He played just 17 snaps as JJ Russell took the lion’s share of 28 snaps. Russell returned a blocked punt for a touchdown shortly after a lucky duck appeared on the jumbotron, making it a career game.
Cornerback Jamel Dean left at halftime with a knee injury, but it is not believed to be serious. He was replaced by second-year cornerback and top gunner Josh Hayes, who played 51% of the snaps. Hayes wasn’t an issue during the game, but it was great to see him be an important and positive factor in an important game.
Safety Jordan Whitehead returned to the lineup and played a full game, joining Zion McCollum as the only players to play every snap.
In the Bucks’ all-important win, running back Tykie Smith and safety Mike Edwards played in 87% of the games, but no players were in the 90th percentile.
