Louis Murphy vs Tampa bay DEF


Keep Pounding

Recommended Posts

So I was watching the Cowboys vs Giants game and was impressed with Ogletree vs the Giants #3 and #4 DB's.

So Ive been thinking about this on and off for the last few days. I'm thinking that Schiano will try and contain Steve Smith by rolling coverage towards his way. Either Talib or Barber will be matched up with Smith and Lafell. So that leaves either Biggers or Lewis matched up with Murphy. Now with coverage being rolled towards Smith, Im not to sure if the Bucs DEF will cover Olsen with a LBer or a Safety. What Im getting at, is that Murphy could be matched up against a week DB and could be exploited for big gains. From my understanding, is Chud wants to use more 3WR sets. Forcing opponents to use their nickel formations. To be honest Talib and Barber will have their work cut out for them covering Smith and Lafell, but it will leave Olsen and Murphy with miss matches..... IMO

Since I adopted Murphy and have him on my Huddle FFL, I would like to see him have a break out game like Olgetree did vs the Giants.

What do yall think?

This is what makes our offense hard to defend. First and mosy important, they have to defend the run.

Next, steve.smith.

lefall

Olsen

Murphy.

Someone will always be open, and this doesn't mention cams running ability.

Our offense is a nightmare to defend.

As long as cam keeps his head, mentally in the game, our.offense will dominate.

I think Ronde is starting at safety. Unless I just read it wrong earlier.

Your right, I forgot about that. And they picked up Eric Wright that was on DET last year. I just read an article and it said they will use 3 safeties and 3 corners with Barber playing at the LOS and covering the slot as needed.

Well that throws my theory out the window, kind of.

Defenses focusing on Smitty will no longer shut this offense down for free. Whoever steps up will be fine with me. Hell, it could still be Smitty. We can punish them for focusing only on Smitty, and then when they let up on Smitty, we can go back to him. It's fun having an offense that isn't one-dimensional.

The Bucs really have improved a lot personnel wise. I'm a bit nervous.

I agree, Im a little more worried about their offense than their DEF. But them picking Barron was like oh FUG..... Talib is good, but I dont think Wright is that good though. And their D Line might be damn good if they can stay healthy.

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.   
    • Who didn't see that coming.... 
    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
