Official Gameday Thread: Bucs @ Panthers


The Other Colbert

Recommended Posts

Cam Newton is just 18 yards shy of Peyton Manning’s rookie passing record, but while his passing and rushing skills have surpassed expectations, he still has not mastered the emotional repression required to succeed in the N.F.L. Luckily, the veteran linemen Jordan Gross and Ryan Kalil are giving him lessons in personality suppression. “I have a bad tendency of showing my emotions on my face,” Newton said Wednesday. “I have to change it, and I’m trying to change it. At the quarterback position, you need to stay even-keeled.” Soon, all elements of Newton’s humanity will be airbrushed away, and he will become like the other quarterbots, unwilling and incapable of expressing disappointment or doubt, and only feeling pleasure and pride during the few seconds he is hoisting the Lombardi Trophy. Do not worry, Cam: the assimilation is mostly painless, and your personality grows back about a decade after retirement. Pick: Panthers

R.J. Stanford will start at CB in place of Captain Munnerlyn who was placed on IR Friday.

Meh at Stanford.

Bucs will be missing both starting DTs -- Haynesworth and Price are inactive. Roy Miller and Frank Okam will start.

    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
    • Theilen is about to retire. I dont care about him sticking around. Lets say you did and he retires at the end of the year. Now that connection is gone next year and it's just another excuse for regression that was just held off. 
    • Short term is the key point. Those first two games without him where pretty bad. They still aren't back to where they were offensively but they are getting better. Hopefully Tet continues to improve and Coker eventually returns - and stays healthy.
