Greg Schiano’s meetings with the media aren’t the 20-minute rambling sessions so often conducted but predecessor Raheem Morris.

The new Tampa Bay coach usually keeps things between five and eight minutes and you don’t walk away with a notebook filled with one-liners like you did with Morris. But, every now and then, Schiano will say something pretty profound and insightful.

That’s what happened Thursday when Schiano was asked if Carolina quarterback Cam Newton is more dangerous as a runner or a passer.

“Unfortunately, I think it’s like 50-50,’’ Schiano said. “That’s the problem. If you could load up on one and sacrifice the other …You literally, when he has the ball, you’re playing against another running back. He’s that athletic and that good, which really screws up the math. Defense is all math. It’s getting your troops deployed where the fight is going on. When the guy who takes the snap actually carries the football, you don’t see that much in this league. You see it a lot in college football. It really messes up. All your rules and assumptions have to be tweaked. When you have to tweak your rules and assumptions to stop the run and then you have a guy who is a very potent passer, that’s what makes him as dangerous as he is.’’

I am worried about or secondary and D line. Ain't gonna lie.

our secondary is gonna get ate up most likely and we'll settle for bringing in a movie extra! We should have taken care of this. As long as Keiser and Alexander get good reps we should be straight on the line!

      Who are the top QB prospects for the 2015 draft?

      By 45catfan · Posted

      @ForJimmy--I watched his '24 highlights and there's a lot to like.  He's mobile, for certain, but it seems that's his default because he's so good at it.  Lots of RPO stuff.  He's slippery in the pocket, but too quick to vacate it.  I saw very few pocket throws into tight windows, which is the hallmark of an elite QB, especially at the next level.  Green is a playmaker, there's no denying that.  I thought his arm was adequate to above average.  I assumed a big QB like that would have a cannon.  Ball placement was also above average. He's an intriguing prospect, but I'm not sure he's going to end up a top 10 prospect and that's where we are most certainly going to be picking.  If Sellers doesn't come out, he's probably the next best dual threat QB.

      I was right there with you. I hoped for the best and tried to support once he was drafted. But the media created legend of Bryce Young the draft prospect was honestly like nothing I've ever seen. For a kid who didn't even play all that particularly great for Alabama (Mac Jones was the better college QB and it really wasn't close) he received an insane level of benefit of the doubt. From his supposed elite football IQ elite processing elite preparation elite field general abilities elite leadership yada yada the guy could do absolutely no wrong. Even when he showed up to the combine and hid out in a hoodie refusing to throw nobody batted an eye. And even after that he was still compared to current and past hall of famers in the NFL and other sports across the spectrum. If he didn't play for Saban and Alabama it would have been and would be right now completely different in the way he was and is perceived. But again. I've never seen anything like it for other prospects that I can think of in recent memory. Others have been dissected in some way or another. Maybe the only other comparison I would make would be Andrew Luck. But Luck had the necessary physical intangibles that Bryce Young very plainly lacked when you sit down and watch the tape. It was crazy then and it is still crazy now. 🤷‍♂️

      Yeah I didn’t remember how many guys were on offense besides him that were taken but did figure he was facing one, maybe two guys that would be drafted from whatever defense it he was playing. Then the out of conference games against smaller schools that are basically exhibitions, sheesh, you know they can feast.    The other thing is, out of those 62, how many really had NFL bodies at that point? Few of them. Most will be different players after a year of NFL training and body development. So you have to think about what the difference is. Even with the SEC guys that got taken, they will be better in the pros too. So when you factor all that in, and look at the Bryce tape and the Bryce pro day and whatever, I just will never understand why.
