There was some good and bad from Maye, as expected. His very first drop-back was a turnover-worthy play where he was baited by nickel CB Michael Carter, and there were a few instances where he got a little antsy in the pocket when his initial read wasn’t there. On a positive note, Maye showed off his physical tools with a fourth-down scramble and a nice anticipation in-cut to DeMario Douglas on fourth down.
In the play-calling department, Maye didn’t go under-center and was in the no-huddle for most of his drive. AVP called two RPOs (gun runs), two screens, some quick-game, two HOSS-style concepts, and dialed-up in-breakers on late downs. Although he failed on all four third-down attempts, Maye converted twice on fourth down to keep his drive alive.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder when it comes to Maye’s film, which is so often the case with him. Van Pelt is correct in saying there were some footwork issues, including a slight drift to his right in his initial drop on his fourth-down throw to Douglas that needs to be cleaned up. However, every time Maye steps on the field, the third-overall pick’s physical tools are evident.

– QB Jacoby Brissett sailed a perfectly executed “Seattle” concept wide left to TE Austin Hooper. He also didn’t pull the trigger on his first sack (Pop Douglas open underneath), passed up an open Hunter Henry at the sticks on a third down (Q3, 4:30), and struggled to find his outlets against pressure (first third down, Q3 4:03). Brissett pushed the ball downfield more, completing his longest throw of the season on a crosser to Douglas while under pressure (18.1 air yards) and hit Henry over the ball route for a third down conversion on a mesh-rail concept. Although the pass protection was uninhabitable, you’d like to see Brissett move faster through his progressions to get the ball out quicker, and even though he still…
