Must not realize he always does that in pre-season.

Short interview this time, Joe!

On purpose. It was after the Patriots game and not only did players want to get the heck out of the locker room and go home, but Joe wanted to interview others and get back to work on the laptop. It was late.

I think there is a lesson to be learned by us all in this…
Tampa fans are fans of extremes. Either we give up on players too soon (Moore) or want to keep them too long (Stovall).

In this case, last year people wanted Moore out of here. Maybe they felt it was justified at the time. This just goes to show you that it’s not always the player at fault.

For example, we had horrible special teams for most of the Bucs tenure. no kick returns for how long? Then the right coach come in and bam! We have good ST.

I think it’s because of coaching styles. young players always need to be taught. A coach that teaches can make a bad player good. Occassionally, a players comes along that is just destined to excel…and usually that player was taught in High School or Collage properly. But that’s rare. In most cases, College focuses on winning, not preparing kids for their future.

We see it all the time.

I wonder…if quartbacks were taught properly in college, would it be easier to predict whether one will be a bust in the nfl? IT amazes me how many college QBs have never taken snaps under center…and have all their experience in shotgun.

That’s why I think schools that have pro-style offense and defenses do well…the other teams just can’t handle it (in most cases).

But I do believe we gave up on Moore a bit too quickly. It’s easy to say, “This is a players 3rd year, so he should step up or be considered a bust.” But what if that player is badly coached?

It’s an interesting train of thought.

The only issue is they might have to keep 5 DTs if they can’t get healthy there…. unless someone goes on the PUP.

For a minute there I thought we were in trouble.
