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.

    • Totally.  They had a guy starred on their boards that made it in trade worthy range. The risk was totally worth it.  Our case was the classic of a franchise not having a QB, do what you can to get one.  That often results being thrust into a bad situation, putting crazy pressure on 1 guy, and it becomes even worse when he's not that great.  But if we find ourselves just a few spots behind a guy we really like, I don't see a problem.   We just have to see how the season shakes out and enjoy this roller coaster.  It's not pretty at times but we somehow are 5-4 haha. If Bryce turns a page and cranks out some truly QB driven wins, then maybe we do consider just rolling with him and a Dalton replacement in 2026.  Someone like a Jarrett Stidham/Tanner McKee.   However, if he stays mostly the same (whether we fall apart or he struggles on/off but we still win some), I think you have to leave to door open for a QB in the draft.  Scout and meet with the top ones, see if any really fit what D&D want.  Maybe that guy could be Mateer.  Who knows
    • I lived in that area for a minute, and 2 decades of BB and Brady made them delusional.  They think everyone is the 2nd coming of Brady and they're just on a short coffee break til the next dynasty.
    • Bryce Young hasn't cleared 200 passing yards in a single game in that window.  Meanwhile, Rico Dowdle has put together the greatest 5 game stretch of rushing production in Panthers history.   And RBs have sort of been our thing, so there is ample competition.  This team hasn't been lead by Bryce Young in that stretch. Those wins are simplistically 3 things.  Schedule, Rico, and defense.
