Why are we so scared of TB's Defense?

Most of us agree we should be able to shut down the Buc's offense but, I see a lot of people worried about the Buc's defense? I'll agree they had a top 15 defense first 4 games. Since then the Defense has imploded allowing 31 to the Falcons and 31 to the Eagles back to back. Shady pounded them in the ground game. The front 4 causes some concern but so did the Rams front 4?

With Tampa, we find ourselves playing down to them often.

 

The exception was a few years back with Double Trouble ran for several hundred yards and ripped em a new one.

We lost to the Bucs twice last year, since then they have lost Freeman, Martin and about half the defense.

Posters are so afraid of confidence around here its amazing.

Winning is what Cam was accustomed to before he came here. He is in his element.

Watch and see.

I've heard the same pessimism before evey game this year.

 

and for good reason...

 

newton was accustomed to winning before he came to the nfl, but things have changed since them...he has now become accustomed to losing.

NFL is about matchup. Tampa causes us problems...

Realizig that isn't being pessimistic.

Being forced to pass, with a bad OL against a secondary that features legit talent.... isn't a scenario to be overconfident about.

Cam isn't going to be on fire every game with his short/intermediate game. If that happens on a day we play a D that can make us one dimensional.....we got problems.

shady > williams x10

they still have the ability to make carolina's offense one dimensional without selling out to stop the run like the rams.

toss records and injuries aside...divisional games are always dangerous.

Ya the biggest thing is they won't need to sell out to stop the run like the rams did, which left them vulnerable in coverage. Plus the bucs have a talented defensive backfield, I don't like the matchup too well

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
