So many thoughts and emotions from this game.

We did not start our intended starting 5 linemen.

They played against one of the best defensive lines in football.

And they looked like poo.

Defense, is going to be making history thus season. Pay attention.

we don't really have a RG and every option there is bad.....so how was that not our starting OL?

ahhh. I was looking for him. Guess I just missed him.

His hammy needs to heal. With only two weeks. Sighs.

Reports are he stayed on the sideline in pads and was walking around after the game fine. Rivera claimed it was a precaution....

Who knows. Hammies are weird

As good as our defense was tonight making plays, we got some pretty lucky breaks. They still gave up 27 points and it would have been 50+ had we not forced those turnovers.

Hopefully we aren't game planning and just playing vanilla D

seriously?

Like they didn't have some lucky breaks.

If our offense could have stayed on the field a minute or two, things would have been drastically better for our defense.

I just hope Shula can adapt.

 

Ok, so your O-line is complete poo. Let's understand that and move forward amicably. Don't force whatever it was you thought you could do, and now start working on what you'll actually be able to do. Bootlegs, three step drops, screens. I know Cam loves to air it out, but we need to cut that crap out if he isn't realistically going to have an opportunity to do it without someone's shoulder pad landing firmly in his oblique muscle..

 

Has Cam even had a bootleg or roll out play yet? Hell, they called one for Clausen's first snap tonight.

 

People were saying how good Clausen looked, but to me it sure looked like they moved him around some to help with the pressure and called a lot more fast developing plays for him.

Meh - defenses that cause turnovers aren't the worst thing in the world and sometimes those type of defenses give up a lot of yards.  I'd also go so far as to say some of those turnovers weren't lucky breaks.  Luke's FF was just a beast-mode play and some of the INT were the product of a very good pass rush forcing Flacco into terrible decisions.

 

Besides....you really need to separate when our first team D was in from the end of the game when the guys who might not even make a team were in, b/c they were different games basically.  Our first team guys didn't give up 27...and wouldn't have if they'd stayed in.

 

Our first team D did extremely well.  Our scrubs didn't do so well.  This isn't surprising.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      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
