From the episode
My problem here is that he is the lead back in an offense where when we saw last season, the one thing that if you kind of look at the stats and point out his usage in the red zone, and he was a bell cow running back, right? With when in games that he played, you know, sans the injury. Once he came back, volume was there in terms of touches. But what was missing was the red zone work there.
STACKED’s take
Negative signalRole
Irving is lead back but red zone work concerns limit ceiling despite bell cow touches.
The source ranks Bucky Irving as RB 21 in ECR and views him as the lead back in Tampa Bay, but expresses concern about his red zone usage. While Irving was a bell cow in terms of touches when healthy last season, his red zone work dropped significantly once inside the 10-yard line compared to other bell cow backs. The source worries that with Kenneth Gainwell and Sean Tucker chipping away at workload, Irving could be perpetually in the RB 18-24 range without the upside previously seen.
