    If Tomlin gets fired after this season, Bucs should bring him and Dungy in to fix the defense.
    And Would appreciate Mr. Brooks analysis in future of what is wrong with running game – is it coaching or execution?

  2. Defense Rules Says:

    Awesome segment Joe! Derrick Brooks gets it … unlike so many ‘fans’ around here. This piece should be mandatory viewing BEFORE any of the simplistic ‘FIRE MIKE SMITH’ crowd is allowed on post on JBF again.

    As to the defense, the Bucs just don’t play team defense very well. Derrick Brooks’s presence reminds us that he, John Lynch, and others, even though they were stars, they were not afraid of sacrificing their bodies, taking on lead blockers, so that teammates could make plays.

  6. BucEmUp Says:

    Just excuses. The 2016 5 game stretch is STILL being used to justify the last ranked coaching staff staying in house. Jameis isn’t judged on his play he is judged by his wins and losses. He will NEVER win with this defense and he HAS to.try and make those big shots happen knowing he has to.win the game. If his defense wasn’t an embarrassment then he could play smart and take what’s given to him but HE CANT!!!

    DERRICK….before the season started the pass rush was the reason the secondary couldn’t cover anyone yet here we are.with an improved line , press caliber corners and stud linebackers yet there.is.no.pressing at the line, no blitzing and wide receivers catching balls with nobody even remotely close to being in the area to make a play.

    STOP WITH THE B.S AND EXCUSES PLEASE!!!!!! We all know it’s coaching. I can’t wait to here Dirk next Friday make.more excuses.on his show. Atlanta is going to destroy us and send the bucs back to the basement of the kfc south led by Mike Smith and his idol Lovie

    wait to hear…..let.me.correct that before some butt hurt Mike Smith lover turns grammar police

    BucEmUp … “DERRICK….before the season started the pass rush was the reason the secondary couldn’t cover anyone yet here we are.with an improved line , press caliber corners and stud linebackers.”

    You really should try actually WATCHING THE GAMES BucEmUp BEFORE you sit down at your little computer and telling everyone what’s wrong with the Bucs defense. Improved DLine? Have you noticed yet that 3 of the 4 DTs have been kinda injured and all but GMC missed at least 3 of the first 4 games? (Didn’t think so … obviously just another excuse). Could go on but why waste my time on some pretend fan who obviously thinks he knows a LOT MORE than Mr. Derrick Brooks.

  9. Jean Lafitte Says:

    Ira said, “You can’t go out and say we got a lousy defense we got to put up 48 points to win”
    ___________________________________________________
    That’s the problem. Our defense should have nothing to do with how the offense performs. They should be thinking about scoring 48 points a game every game regardless of how the defense plays. Such a weak argument to cover the ineffectiveness of the QB. Whether the QB be Jameis, Fitz, or Griffen they should always try to score on every possession. That’s a winners mentality.

    Good discussion Derrick and Ira.

    Thanks for the link to The Identity Joe – was nice to watch it on full screen this time. Fullscreen feature still not working on your embedded version here.

    Lucious….lol hmmm which one?

  12. Mike Johnson Says:

    Sorry Guys, I’m not offering hope for Smitty like Derrick B does. If you want salvation? Go to church baby!! This Defense for whatever reason lacks consistent commitment. Those yrs Derrick played, he had fellow teammates who got after it. They are Gladiators and unafraid. Monty Kiffin had fire. Smitty has his smile and his pressbox! I say ye all. This team finishes less than 8-8 and bags plus airline tickets need to packed & brought. Excuses are unaceptable. W’ve heard enough over the years. Win or dump’em all in the Bay!!!!!!!!!

  13. BucEmUp Says:

    Defense rules…..you must me Mike Smith blow hard. The line will never produce when the corners are never closer than 10 yards in coverage befroe the snap OR while the play is developing. Are you gonna tell me that doesn’t change the lines chances of getting to the an? You.gonna tell me the linebackers never blitzing is getting opposing uncomfortable? You think playing press corners in zone coverage all the time is God coaching? You think after three years a half way decent DC doesn’t need to show any improvement at all?

    This is funny….
    sounds to me like you’ve never even watched a bucs game. I guess me and my little computer have it all wrong. I ‘ve only been saying this for three seasons now and he is just getting bashed nationally for.no reason .

    Yeah, you.must be right. The game next week comes on at 1 oclock in case.you didn’t know and.if you.missed it Mitch torched them.last week.and the 1 and.4 falcons are going to kick their arses . Problem.is Brooks said they need to.tighten up in the red zone and giving up yards isn’t a big deal, but teams.dont need.to get in the red zone they are.scoring before they even take a snap.in the red zone so I.eould say at this point the yards are a HUGE problem.

    We have cover cormers…
    LET them.cover!
