Jase 12,806 Report post Posted October 24, 2013 Combine the factors: 1. Bucs look like a medic ward 2. Our players are looking for revenge for last year, especially on defense 3. Rookie Quarterback for Tampa 4. Muscle Hamster out 5. Greg Schiano is the Janoris Jenkins of likable coaches That's not to say we will score a bunch on this defense, though. Prediction: Panthers 20 Bucs 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CRA 13,939 Report post Posted October 24, 2013 If VJ was out....maybe I could see that. But he isn't. We have no answer for him for when we don't get to Glennon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the butch 3,264 Report post Posted October 24, 2013 ^ There are other ways to "answer" an elite receiver without having to double cover him. - Mask defenses (feign blitzes or zones) - Get a pass rush (Johnson et al.) - Control the ball (Panthers are 3rd in the league in TOP/g at 33min, though TB is 10th at 31) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pantherj 2,557 Report post Posted October 24, 2013 Bucs QB appears to have a lot of talent, so we'll need to confuse him or the Bucs might put up a lot of points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carolina Cajun 4,067 Report post Posted October 24, 2013 Vincent Jackson will get his, but that is about it, I think TB scores 7, maybe 10 points in the game, nothing more. Run game will get dominated by our front 7, and the only mismatch they have is V-Jax. On the other side, TB misuses Revis by dropping him into zone so much, we'll find soft spots and pound the rock with the 3 headed monster of Tolbert, Williams, and Newton. They'll slow our offense, but not enough. Panthers win 24-7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
