Re: Bucs Postgame
Positives:
-The whole Offensive Line minus Tony Bergstrom
-Special props to Jonathan Cooper, the guy is the improvement over Lauvao we've been waiting for. Once Trent Williams comes back, we can slide Nsekhe to either LG or RG, get rid of Bergstrom and have ourselves a nice OL despite losing Scherff
-Jeremy Sprinkle as somebody said above, he made some really nice blocks
-Josh Doctson . I get the feeling his 2 awful drops last week created a spark inside the guy, he's finally heading in the right way!
-Josh Norman they just don't throw his way !
-Nice play by my adopted son Ryan Anderson ^^
-D-FUCKIN'-FENCE ! I'm sorry but TOLD YA TOLD YA TOLD YA TOLD YA this defense was better than what they showed last week, and they could rebound like they did after the Saints loss !
-Manusky for getting this D over their worst performance of the year and coach them into putting together a great one! 3 things he specially deserves credit for in this game IMO:
1) He obviously highlighted the necessity of creating turnovers (hence Anderson, Stroman, Swearinger and Kerrigan all mimicking Norman and his popping-the-ball-loose-uppercut).
2) To everybody whining about the 400 yards, I think this was the game plan all along: let them go after our rookie corners (remember Dunbar is out, right?), as long as we don't get beat over the top, at some point Fitzpatrick is going to turn the ball over... Exactly what happened, nice job of identifying what you can and what you can't do . Talk about bend but don't break Defense against the number one offense on the F'in league!!
3) Noticed for the first time of the year he rotated both the DL and the pass rushers. Sticking with your starters worked incredibly well at the beginning of the season, but maybe part of last week underperformance was the big guys beginning to wear down a little bit. This week Anderson, McKinzie, Settle and even old McGee played a fair amount of snaps. They played well and this must have helped keep the starters fresh for 90 minutes!
-The Eagles lost, we're 2 wins ahead, leading the NFCEast !
Negatives: GTFOOH we're 6 and 3, "winning" is the only word I can read in "winning ugly"! HTTR !!!
