From the episode
Kyler's not the tallest quarterback in the league. And, so, you kind of have to manipulate the offensive line a little bit at times in order for him to want to attack over the middle of the field with regularity.
STACKED’s take
Murray's height limits middle-field aggression; Vikings' lack of run explosiveness constrains his upside.
The Vikings offense is struggling with explosiveness despite a 5-0 record, and Kyler Murray's role is constrained by the lack of run-game success and the team's reluctance to attack over the middle of the field. The source notes that Murray is not the tallest quarterback in the league, so the offensive line must be manipulated at times to enable him to attack over the middle with regularity. The Vikings have only an 11.1% explosive play rate (bottom 10 in NFL), 7.1% explosive designed run rate (ninth lowest), and only 10% intermediate in-breaker target rate (lowest in entire league). The source states: 'Kyler's not the tallest quarterback in the league. And, so, you kind of have to manipulate the offensive line a little bit at times in order for him to want to attack over the middle of the field with regularity.' However, the source also notes that Murray had 'a really nice game' last week and that the offense in its current form should be enough for the Vikings to make the postseason.
