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.

    • Uggh forgot about that
    • I am curious to see if Warren is the elite player that the Huddle Warren stans believe. I am always fairly wary of these first round TE's.
    • The Rossi things isn't going away, either... https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/3312416/unfinished-business-7-players-to-watch-in-back-half-of-nhl-offseason The Wild and Rossi shouldn't be having any trouble hammering out an extension. Rossi, an RFA turning 24 in September, recorded the second-most points on the team last season (60 in 82 games). The smart, skilled, highly competitive 5-foot-9 Austrian is a homegrown top-six center. Minnesota has $10 million in cap space and no other significant spots to fill to finalize its 2025-26 roster. Problems lurk below the surface, however. Coach John Hynes demoted Rossi to the fourth line in the playoffs, dropping his nightly usage from 18 minutes in the regular season to 11 in the first-round series loss to Vegas. GM Bill Guerin's top to-do list item at the moment is to lock up Kirill Kaprizov. The superstar winger, who's been eligible for an extension since July 1, is due for Leon Draisaitl-type money (around $14 million average annual value) starting in 2026-27. Guerin has said there's no rush to sign, trade, or match an offer sheet for Rossi. If he stays, a short-term extension makes sense, since it gives both player and team flexibility. If he leaves, a trade is far more likely than an offer sheet. Half of the league could use a second-line center, and Rossi still has upside. The Hurricanes desperately need to upgrade at 2C (Jesperi Kotkaniemi isn't going to cut it) and have plenty of cap space. Ditto for the Sabres, who picked Jack Quinn one spot before Rossi went to the Wild in the 2020 draft. Mammoth bench boss Andre Tourigny coached Rossi in junior, and they don't have as much wiggle room, but trading top-six winger Nick Schmaltz (plus a pick) could make the math work. Guerin wants to make a so-called "hockey trade" here.
