compliments of NFL.com...

Work to do: The Bucs had a nice draft with defensive ends Adrian Clayborn and Da'Quan Bowers. If the front four grows up quickly and young offensive players from last season -- LeGarrette Blount and Mike Williams -- stay hungry, the Bucs might win the division behind QB Josh Freeman. Carolina will be better than the two-win team from last season. Still, the Panthers might be a season or two away from holding their own against the other three, mainly because of the inexperience at quarterback.

lol I'm sorry but I can't see the Bucs replicating their 2010 season. Freeman is a stud but so many of their players played above their heads last year and I see them finishing 3rd at best(keep in mind I still think we'll finish 4th, but with a 6-10/7-9 record)

I like the Bucs...I like Freeman as much as any young QB in the league and HOPE that Cam is as good as he was in his first year.

Let them keep doubting us. It will make us that much more deadly and no one will see it coming. People underestimating us oughta give us a couple of winning games don't ya think?

What exactly have we proven? QB is still the biggest question mark on this team.

You do realize that if they get third, they'd be replicating their position from last year in the division? <: But yeah, I agree, for the most part. I wouldn't be surprised if the Bucs were able to achieve 10-5 this year, although I haven't really taken a look at their games for this year. :\

We haven't proven anything yet but I like our chances in light of our ultimate lineup of weapons. If our defense is going to be as good as expected, our running game alone should keep us in the game. I'm not saying that we are going to the Playoffs (although that would be nice), we're going do alot better than 4 wins like everyone is predicting. I think we will at least have six wins but hey, I'm optimistic.

The NFC South is a fickle bitch who knows what anyone is going to do at this point really. The only things that are certain is that the Saints and Falcons will probably be competing for first place but sometimes things don't turn out the way that seems most likely.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, if Moore really wants out, then it would behoove the Bears to make it happen sooner than later. X is a lot younger and cheaper, and may be a better fit for Johnson's musings than a disgruntled, unnecessary, overpaid vet. If they can dump his salary and maybe get a fourth or so in return, it may be worth it to them. As for development, I'm not concerned. You're talking about a seeming bust, a day three guy and a UDFA. They are developing relative to their ceilings. I doubt any of them will ever command the coverage, money, or the respect that Moore has acquired. He's a tier above them. Yes, even X.

      OK, now it's time to discuss a couple of yesterday's problems. Let's talk "Evero."

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      IMO, if Ceedee plays against us, the game probably goes the other way. Same with Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins. Our team just isn't designed to beat teams with two high level receivers like that. But when you look at the league, how many teams really have two guys of that caliber?  There's nothing wrong with defensive adjustments, but sometimes I think a lot of fans want Evero to call a different play like a game on madden, and defensive football just isn't like that. That said, I thought we did a much better job this season against the Cowboys of flipping Jaycee and at least making them work for it, opposed to last season when they literally just lined CeeDee up on the other side of the field every single snap.  For us to just straight up switch to consistent man coverage, or a different zone, or whatever, we likely would consistently need different personnel on the field. Doing it a few times a game is a gamble and can work, but if we consistently run man coverage against the Cowboys, eventually a RB is going to beat a linebacker, or something of that nature with our personnel. Part of the reason Evero likes this scheme is that, while we have our defaults and presets, what we do is very multiple, and you can do a lot of different things pre and post snap. We are a challenging defense to read. But as you said, if guys are getting beat, it doesn't really matter what you call.
