Behind Enemy Lines - Bucs Edition

Here are a few stories of interest from the Tampa Bay media...

The Bucs are desperately trying to fill the seats

Just the other day, the Bucs sent out a letter that if you've been a season-ticket holder going back to only 2007 — just seven years ago and the last time the team truly mattered -- you could bring two friends to Sunday's season opener for free.

Can you imagine the Panthers every being able to tell PSL owners since 2007 they could bring 2 friends to the game for free? Just, wow.

Da'Quan Bowers won't play

DE Da'Quan Bowers was back at practice Thursday after being sidelined since the preseason opener with an abdominal injury, but coach Lovie Smith said it's too much to expect him to play in Sunday's regular-season opener against Carolina.

the Bucs will have limited depth on the line Sunday, with little-used Scott Solomon and Steven Means the only healthy backups at end.

It seems the Panthers biggest question marks on the team, Bell and Chandler, have less of a challenge this week than first thought.

Offensive Coordinator by committee?

“It has been a collaborative effort,” Embree said. “We will continue to work like we have been, and at the end of the day, it will be Marcus sending the plays in. Whether it’s (offensive line coach) George Warhop or (running backs coach) Tim Spencer talking about the runs that they like, or (wide receivers coach) Drew (Hayes-Stoker) and myself talking about the different passing situations, we’ll get it all communicated. Marcus, who’s been on the radio from the first day communicating to the quarterback, will continue that process.”

I don't see this going well. Things happen far to fast for many Offensive Coordinators to get the plays in quickly by themselves, much less consulting a group. Too many cooks.....

In the first article linked, the Tampa Bay writer totally stole the Panther's "be relevant" mantra from last season.

 


No, the worst thing you can say about the Bucs is that they are not relevant.

It's the one thing no team ever wants to hear.

No one cares. You're not on the radar.

You don't matter.

 

/bucs return to relevance starts sunday against panthers

    • NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing. 
    • The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
    • Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
