@Thomas 2.2,

I think you messed up. You forgot to include Gerald McCoy in your solid young nucleus. I’m sure that was an accident.

I appreciate the recognition guys, its nice to not be bashed for your objectivity when you are correct on occasion.

Further, some players may not be able to transition into Schiano’s style – I firmly believe that Quincy Jane is one of those players. I think Foster can but would be better outside.

Our D Line has potential but I must say when I go back and study them – they have a long way to go. I like Clay and Bennett the most, add in Lavontea David and Mark Barron and you have a solid young nucleus – I am not sure about the rest.

I have tried repeatedly to make excuses for black but he has been through damn near five coordinators since he’s been a buc. And neither has panned out for him so I mean I do think it is time for us to head in a new direction. I’d like to see dekota Watson start and learn we have a young group that we can mold together Quincy black just continues to disappoint. And while mason foster is doinit it playing downhill right now when he does he’s been bringing a little thump and we can still teach him. he’s a second year player with a tremendous upside I think if he gets a lil faster and stronger. I think the d-line and secondary are playing fairly well (the starters) though we could be better but hey it’s preseason.

Jimmy last year was the worst defense I have ever seen the Bucs play and I started watching them in 1977. That eclipses defenses that were some of worst in the history of the NFL. They set Buccaneer records in yardage allowed for petes sake. Rah was a defensive head coach so yes I would say the god awful play from the last few years fall directly on him but maybe we can blame Gruden for that LOL>

In the few snaps I’ve seen the Starting defense play, they’ve done a good
job. They forced the Titans to 3 & outs 3 times? I’m gonna hold judgment
’til I see them play alot more!

BTW old habits can be good or bad ones. We have a new defensive scheme, so even good old habits won’t work as well. It just so happens they were bad ones that they fell into under Raheem.

Okay, now I completely understand. Unless we have coached at the pro level, in this specific system for 25-30 years, we don’t understand what we are seeing. Therefore, nobody is qualified to criticize.

Also, anything bad that happens is on Rah, anything good happens is on the Little General.

Pure genius!

I once read a book that displayed this phenomena, “Alice in Wonderland.”

Where do the experts say it’s the “starting” defense? I think they are referring to the defense overall.
