Interesting stat from PFF: Tua Tagovailoa has had 72% of his yards come after the catch, highest percentage in the nation Against South Carolina, 82% of his yards came after the catch

This is a very similar approach to Steve Young's MVP season. He was surrounded with a ton of weapons (Jerry Rice, John Taylor, Brent Jones, Ricky Watters, William Floyd) and he just got the ball into their hands as quickly as possible and let them do the rest.

That's a good comparison. It's funny that a lot of people seem to be looking at that as some sort of negative - I'm really, really happy with it. Now, if we start trying to go deep again and Tua has somehow lost that, then that would be a problem. But working under the assumption that Tua still has an above average deep ball, the efficient West Coast stuff as the base is absolutely fantastic with our set of receivers and Tua's accuracy IMHO.
