From the episode

he does drop his eyes and play the hokey pokey and like turn down throws a lot... Trey McBride's production blasted off after, you know, Kyler was replaced by Jacob Brissett. Because whenever you go and watch the games inside the red zone, inside the 10-yard line, Trey McBride was open in those situations.
Mentioned at 9:18 – 10:27

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Murray avoids throws in red zone; McBride's production spiked when Brissett replaced him.

Kyler Murray has a documented tendency to drop his eyes and avoid throws, particularly in red zone situations; Trey McBride's production spiked after Jacob Brissett replaced Murray, indicating McBride was open in the 10-yard line but Murray would not target him. Murray needs to stand tall in the pocket and trust the middle field when facing pressure, a weakness that contrasts with Nick Mullins' comfort in Kevin O'Connell's offense.
