Did the Bucs scout us @ IMG?

I know I'm probably going to catch hell for this, but am I the only person wondering if the Bucs scouted us a little @ IMG?

It was a lackluster performance yesterday, but there were more than a few plays on offense where it seemed like the Bucs were in the huddle with us...

You've gotta figure that IMG is crawling with employees that are Bucs fans, wonder if any of them were spying on us and sharing info with the Bucs?

Possible, but as Dpanhterman says, anything is... I'm sure this has been discussed ad naseum in other threads that I'm not even gonna open, but it looked to me like their game plan was simply superior to ours and they had a lot more fire going into the game.

Of course, due to the dumbasses at Fox we here in Wilmington missed the entire first quarter watching every last fuging second of the NO - WSH game... so I can't say what the start of the game looked like.

I didn't wonder this until you said it but, I was saying during the chat yesterday that it just seemed ridiculous, like they knew what we were going to run before we ran it.

Just seemed too easy for them, and Chud even tried stuff we didn't run a lot last year. I remember they had the double screen perfectly defended and everytime we tried to run the option they killed it. And Schiano seems like a dirtbag, so it wouldn't surprise me. It's not like they shut down all of IMG just because we were staying there.

Still goes on Rivera, IMO.

The difference was this...

We claim to run an attacking-style offense and defense that dictates the action rather than react to it. Well, yesterday, the Bucs proved they were better at executing that style of play than we were, and that is what is so troubling considering they have a 1st year coach who has mostly worked in college.

Yeah, even if they did scout us the coaching staff failed to make enough adjustments.

Dear Cat Man72,

Yeah, IMG may be crawling with Bucs fans and employees of our team, and certainly, they may have recording devices like that which is available on a typical android smartphone which would generate an audio or video file depending on which program you use.

I can assure you, I authorized no recording of our practices, even if my mentor is the Patriots head coach, Bill whom is notorious for filming everything to include his preparation of TV dinners.

    • I've liked him since his rookie year as a prospect, but when he's been asked to play in a large capacity, he has simply not done well.   He does not really add anything, rather muddies up the room.  Fant is TERRIBLE as a blocker, a pure receiving TE.   Let's just put Tremble aside since he's PUP (although I still like him as a TE2, but yeah he's not our future starter)... Sanders has already shown better receiving skills than a Fant and has a nice ceiling.  Not to mention, he's got in-line run blocking skills.  I really want to see what he's capable of this year.  Also has a year+ experience now in Canales' offense, not to mention legit chemistry with Bryce. And after Sanders, I also imagine our staff is waiting to see how Mitchell Evans looks in camp as he's got the in-line blocking skills.  If he looks fully capable of filling in behind Sanders, then I don't see a need.  Overall, keep an eye out on early August moves.  They are usually soft indicators of how staff's view their rookie late rounders and roster overall.  This is a wait and see what the market presents and how they think their unit looks in camp.  
    • Every team has different needs of the backup QB.   On some teams a young hopeful makes sense and on others an old worn out dude makes sense.  We are a little more in the in-between IMO where you probably would prefer a Fields, Pickett, Howell type IMO.   So a young disappoint that you there is still some hail mary hope in.....given BY essentially was benched both seasons for performance (I know that's not the official line going into Seattle but I think most would agree he got a break and should of been benched later that year).  I know we want Bryce to be the week 17 guy all season this upcoming year.  But it's still in the reasonable thought process that the other dude could show back up. 
    • I wouldn't mind it if they bring him in cheap for competition. I would imagine he would vie for the 3rd TE spot with the rookie.
