Steve Smith Vs. Aqib Talib is key

Last year Smith had just 4 catches for 84 yards vs Tampa Bay (including a 66 yarder). This can be partly attributed to the Panthers game plan, but you can't ignore that the former Buc killer (and my favorite player to play for the Panthers) was not dominating the Bucs like he once did.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Talib is the the best CB in the NFC AINEC. Behind Revis and Aso, he is the absolute best. We will utilize this by playing Quincy Black and Geno Hayes on the LOS every play. Our DTs and LB will be in your backfield before Stewart and Williams can even touch the ball. This isn't the soft coverage of the Tampa 2 anymore (we only ran one play of cover 2 in the whole game vs. the Browns). We play 30% of the snaps with a three man front, with McCoy at the 5 and Miller at NT. We will blitz the living poo out of you and force Moore to beat Talib and T-Jax. If he can't, the bucs will win.

Our past two drafts, we have spent three first day picks on DTs. The days of pushing Ryan Sims and Chis Hovan four yards into the backfield are over. These might be three of the best four DT prospects in the past two years.

Hopefully you don't blitz Moore too much because I'm not sure Jimmy could chuck the ball downfield 60 some yards to Smitty.

I'm not buying it that you guys will stop the run...

They didn't even slow down the run against the Browns, so I am thinking that Williams and Stewart are going to trounce all over their D. By the end of the game everybody on TB's D will look like they are wearing #88 from all of the shoe prints on them.

Teams that blitz get eaten up by the run. Look at the Saints, we always score plenty against them. The problem is they have Drews Brees and score as well. You guys have Josh Freeman and little offense at all. Play Tampa 2 and you lose by 7, blitz all day and lose by twice that on big plays once we get to the second level and nobody is home.

I guess you didn't see Brian Price dominate our pro-bowl RG in training camp. Or Gerald McCoy wreaking havoc on every play in week one. Did you notice that Roy Miller led all rookie DTs in tackles and sacks last year? And he was our third DT.

No, didn't see any of those things, no one in TB saw it either unless they were at the game. Which means that not many people in general did since the game was blacked out.

Looks good on paper until you realize that a) who cares what went on in TC, especially TB's, B) my great gandmother 10 years in her grave could beat up on Steinbach, Mack, and Womack, c) no one but Bucs fans could give two shits about Roy Miller.

Oh, and that other guy you forgot. Joe Thomas, you know the all-pro? I never said you had to give two shits about our d-line, I just said they were going to dickslap your joke of an o-line on Sunday

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By csx · Posted

      I just dont get the worry over losing a practice squad player that just went undrafted. Everyone just made their selections. The chances of a team wanting to sign him to an active roster after not selecting him is very low.  If that interested they would have taken him late to evaluate in person. As far as I can tell two qbs were signed off another teams practice squad last season and they were both going in to their 5th season.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      I enjoyed reading this thread and the usual banter that follows. The only silver lining I can identify right now is we do actually have a couple of young QB's behind him and we do have a nice roster on both sides of the ball built around the most important position. So if the team overall shows some promise but we still falter largely due to a lack of consistent passing output (again) hopefully the decision makers can be free to make the best decision for the team going forward after the conclusion of this upcoming season.

      I don't really follow the team anymore due to a variety of reasons and consequently have largely stopped posting but I agree that this is a lovely website and community. This forum probably kept me around for years longer than I would've stuck otherwise because of how difficult it was to stop checking multiple times a day. Especially appreciate how lax the moderation tends to be compared to a lot of places, the crew here does a great job. Out of curiousity I decided to try making a new account (solely for testing purposes) to see what exactly is wrong with the sign up process. The issue seems to be that it never sends you an account verification email, thus making it impossible to complete registration. This is likely something to do with the email server upstream, hope it gets fixed. Also, lol
