OL

With as bad as it looked yesterday, what do you chalk it up to? Just a bad game? Or do you think it's schematic? Lack of chemistry? Or personnel?

I would be in favor of kicking Bell to the inside to RG and give Campbell a shot at starting at RT. I've never been a huge Hangartner fan, and I think that shift could have a positive effect on the entire unit. Silatolu should be fine and is young, but he had a rough outing yesterday. But yesterday, I think the problems started with the interior line.

No to campbell. He has a mental condition that impede's his ability to learn on the fly. The reason he was so unsuccessful in oakland is because they moved him around, leave him at once position.

Bell played fine, it was our 3 interior lineman that dropped the ball.

Hangman is probably the least physically gifted of these three, but the big issue was just lack of communication and whiffing assignments. Whenever they all got their guy on a clean block it worked out fine, way WAY too many guys got in untouched on a consistent basis though. This happened in the Jets preseason game. These 3 guys are not on the same page and need to figure it out before the Saints* game.

Campbell has been playing tackle the whole preseason. Left and right.

Campbell is our backup RT. He wouldn't be switching positions and Bell has the body and ability to excel inside, IMO. And his "mental condition" didn't appear to affect him at all during the preseason. He looked really good.

Also, is anyone not impressed we didn't keep a close game with ten fuggin rushing yards? If not for that blocked punt, we would have won. Cam threw a fluke pick and threw up another in desperation mode.

If not for all the reasons they played poorly, they actually played well?....that sure is reassuring.

Well, I think our OL gets off to a slow start every year, as evidenced by the run production week to week. But, I don't know that their DL is that good just yet. A lot of the problems we had were with the extra blitzers and not so much the DL, at least from what I saw.

McCoy is a very talented DT and clayborn looks good as well. If it weren't for Suh overshadowing McCoy we would have heard MUCH more about him pre draft. Also notice that last season when the bucs completely collapsed it coincided with Mccoy being injured.

The O-Line was the worst group of our team yesterday, and Hangman was our worst O-lineman. Why not move Garry Williams from backup tackle to starting RG? G-WIll has proved he can be effective as a starting lineman in the past and I can't comprehend why he shouldn't get the nod after Hangartner's awful performance.

All in all, I thought Gross definitely played the best game and showed a lot of effort. It's hard to grade Kalil's effort because he was often pulling ahead onto the linebackers while DeAngelo was getting tackled 3-4 yards in the backfield.

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
