From the video
Brock Bowers against tight ends and safety or linebackers and safeties, he's caught 20 of 20 targets for 13.4 yards per target. Against corner backs he's caught 14 of 28 targets, 6.7 yards per target. In the slot this season, he's been targeted on 46% of his routes, 4.1 yards per route run. Anytime they went to 12 personnel, the Rams went to dime and not only dime, played two high safeties still cuz they said, you aren't running the ball.
STACKED’s take
Elite vs. safeties but cornerback struggles limit ceiling without run game support.
Brock Bowers shows elite efficiency against safeties and linebackers (20-of-20 targets, 13.4 yards per target) but struggles against cornerbacks (14-of-28, 6.7 yards per target). In the slot this season, he's been targeted on 46% of his routes with 4.1 yards per route run, establishing the slot as his optimal deployment spot. Kubiak moved him to slot in recent games (4-5 targets, 51 yards from slot on Sunday) to exploit coverage mismatches. However, the source notes he needs to become a primary slot player to avoid teams stacking cornerbacks on him and limiting his ceiling. The Raiders' inability to establish a functional run game further constrains his upside; when the Raiders went to 12 personnel against the Rams, the Rams responded with dime coverage and two-high safeties, showing no respect for the Raiders' ground game. Without an effective run game, defenses will continue to stack coverage against Bowers in passing situations.
