Replacement
Tippmann had many solid pass-protection reps, but a catastrophic red-zone sack surrendered to Alim McNeill kept his overall grade tethered near replacement level.
Tippmann generally anchored well against Detroit's interior rush, highlighted by a clean one-on-one win against McNeill to facilitate a 24-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter (Q2 05:40) and steady push on inside zone runs. However, his pass protection grade (65) was severely dragged down at Q3 07:32 when McNeill crossed his face on an inside swim move for an immediate eight-yard sack. Minor lapses, including interior pocket compression on another sack (Q4 12:32) and a missed block on a screen, neutralized his positive volume and held him to a 65.1 overall mark.
Strengths
Anchoring against interior bull rushes
Point-of-attack push on inside zone
