It's hard to envision us losing to Tampa next Saturday.

I try to keep a competitive respect for every team we play, whether they are considered superior or inferior to us-epsecially in a division game.

Tampa, however, seems to collapsing. Getting destroyed by a horribly bad Jacksonville team and now tonight's game, they look pretty bad.

Obviously I am not looking past tommorow's game, but I just wanted to contribute some healthy football discussion to the board before I hit the hay.

For the Tampa game, I would feel completely comfortable playing Tampa with essentially the exact same gameplan we played against them with last time, with Rivera going over the tape for some minor alterations. Now obviously Tampa has that same courtesy, but they just appear too talent deprived offensively to execute an efficient gameplan well enough.

I feel completely comfortable stacking the box against Freeman to shut down Blount. Freeman, for whatever reason, has been too scared to go down the field. Whether it's a mental regression on his part, or Tampa just does not have the offensive weapons to get open, I do not know. Either way, I feel perfectly fine putting 8 men in the box and telling Tampa to beat us deep. I feel comfortable risking giving up the occasional big play if it means shutting down their rushing attack-because honestly, the talent at their skill positions on O don't pose a huge threat to our Secondary. Gamble has the ability to eliminate any Receiver, and Godfrey has done a good job blanketing TE's all year.

So, as I said, I just don't see us losing to Tampa next week. Let's kill the cows tomorrow first, and have some nice filet Mignon for dinner on the flight home, but beyond that, it'd be nice to get back to sweeping Tampa, and hopefully getting the split with New Orleans.

In conclusion, here is a picture of our head coach I found whilst continuing on my journey through the internetz.

Yep. That sounds a bit more accurate.

In my defense... They were doing everything that we've been wanting them to do. If we go on to curb stomp them, as we should have, it would have been a different story. Unfortunately, it didn't work out, and I looked dumb again... That mistake made me a better poster. Just got to take my lumps and move on...

It took me like 5 minutes figuring out why we weren't playing the 25th..

I'd like to see some 3-4 looks from our D if we get a comfortable lead. It will give the D some experience in it and we can murder their O line like Dallas just did.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      Its completely and utterly bootlicking at this point.  If you cannot acknowledge that using 3 picks on a rb with a torn acl in the 2nd round isnt a bad pick then you simply havent a clue about football.  Sorry man it is what it is.  And its insanely laughable you are trying to strawman this argument using other players.  And what fuging facts are you bringing that is justifing morgan using 3 goddamn picks on him?  I cannot wait to hear that.

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.
