Brock Bowers

NegativeUsage0:00

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.

0:00Brock Bowers against tight ends and
0:02safety or linebackers and safeties, he's
0:04caught 20 of 20 targets
0:06for 13.4 yards per hour yards per
0:09target.
0:10Against
0:12corner backs, against corner backs he's
0:13caught 14 of 28 targets, 6.7 yards per
0:16target. The Rams new
0:19Matt Matt Tuiasosopo had a good tweet
0:21about this
0:21>> that was that was
0:23>> But that at least Kubiak realized it
0:26though. I will say this so like but
0:28anytime you watch
0:28>> he realized it in real time.
0:30>> Yep. Yeah. It It so cuz we talked about
0:33this going into that match up
0:35about like teams like starting to do
0:36this to Brock Bowers and he was like,
0:39well [ __ ] I'm going to he's still not
0:40going to play in line but I'll play him
0:42in the slot because you can't do some of
0:44the things that to to slot receiver you
0:46can do out wide especially with with
0:48boundary corner back play. Uh and he
0:50realized that and he moved him and he
0:52caught four or five targets for 51 yards
0:54from the slot on Sunday. In the slot
0:57this season, not a typo, he's been
0:59targeted on 46% of his routes, 4.1 yards
1:02per out run. Like this is the sweet
1:04spot. He can moonlight out wide. I'm
1:06cool with this. He he needs to be a more
1:08primary slot player though or he's going
1:10to they're going to keep running into
1:12this issue where teams put just actual
1:15corner backs on him and the Rams are
1:17putting two on him at some point. Uh
1:20Tuiasosopo kind of going back to had a
1:22great So here's the other thing we need
1:24to also happen for Brock Bowers is the
1:26Raiders have to figure out a way to run
1:27the [ __ ] football. Uh So like the
1:31Rams last week, this is where the Matt
1:33Tuiasosopo tweet goes and you find this
1:34on his thread. Anytime they went to 12
1:37personnel, the the Rams went to dime and
1:40not only dime, played two high safeties
1:42still cuz they said, you aren't running
1:44the ball. Like we do not care. Like you
1:47you like you you can't run the ball.
1:50Like your team is you you were just
1:52you're dysfunctional. You cannot run the
1:53football. So like that's the other
1:54avenue I think that could open up the
1:56Brock Bowers stuff even more is if they
1:58can start to find any kind of [ __ ]
2:00run game.
