....on how to stop this guy twice a year.

Seriously....215 yards on 15 attempts for a 14.3 yard average last meeting.

Meeks better come up with some answers before it happens again.

Considering that the Bucs do not have the best OL in football...nor Jacobs to carry the load....Ward will be an average RB.

We've got a whole new game plan for those two "Cats". :D

Are we talking about the same Bucs team that imploded down the stretch....lost to the Raiders....now have no QB? Is that the same team?

If so, you will need a whole lot more that an average RB to get back on the porch with the big dogs.

Yeah, Ward ran all over our defense in OT. We were also playing back up DT's at both spots, including a rookie who was playing in his first game ever, and it all happened after Brandon Jacobs did all the dirty work beforhand.

Ward don't scare me.

Oh my God it's Derrick Ward... yeah Buc's fans we're not scarred of your backup RB who looked better than he is behind the best O-line in the league and one of the top 5 RB's in the league as well. Better get some help on that D-line if you don't want to see D-Will and J-Stew abuse Ronde again like they did on Monday Night Football infront of the whole world lol yeah how does it feel knowing we shanked you guys infront of millions of people and won the NFC South?

    • Evero has his faults, but even in that loss, the team only gave up 20 points. Your post gets to the heart of the matter. We are not a talented team on defense at this time. Some of our younger guys may develop w/more playing time, but for now we have no impact players at LB or EDGE. We could really use a ball-hawking S on the back end as well. We have exactly two players that have to be accounted for on every play, D. Brown, and J.Horn. Mike Jackson has been solid. The other starters would probably be backups on most the upper echelon NFL teams. We really can't expect this team to a Top 10 defense with such a lack of talent. All things considered I've been somewhat impressed with how much better they have played this year.   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-points-per-game   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-average-team-passer-rating We are in the top 15 in terms of points allowed per game (22.6) and top 12 in defensive passer rating (88.9). And, we are doing this without a formidable PASS RUSH. Even our rushing defense has improved. We are #16 in rushing yards allowed per game (116) compared to 179 per game last season. https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-rushing-yards-per-game I wouldn't cry if Evero moved on after the season, but his defense isn't the biggest worry for our team.
    • The funny part is she looks older and not in a good way...
    • How about some line help, both sides, first. Trade XL before talking about a 1st round WR 3 years in a row. Or a TE or...drum roll...a QB to pair with a vet.  And if it's not a speedy route guy with hands then just hard pass.
