“So far, GMC has played like a BEAST. Josh has been so-so.”

If Freeman performed equal to GMC (2 tackles, 1 scab sack), Orlavsky would be starting the Cowgirl’s game.

I believe that the opponents aren’t respecting the play action. Peanut 1.0 (Martin) does not strike fear into the defense’s hearts. He’s easily tackled by a glancing fore arm blow by the DL. Most teams will start running nickle defenses against the Buc’s anemic running game and watching Josh’s dark telegraphing eyes.

Some one get the man a shaded visor!

@joe
Best part about the article karlos Pena, strike out Pena. Coming from a Yankees fan (cue the harassment) I think the what the rays are consistently doing yearly is remarkable in the pay for play baseball era we live in. I think we can all be happy about Boston this year, nice work with bobby v I think he lost his locker room more than Raheem lost the buc last year (and there’s my bucs reference).
I really think we can beat the cowgirls Sunday. Go Bucs!!! B

No more Soccer dances when you rush for a TD either. This is AMERICA’s game.

Freeman needs to play BIG TIME.

You know, fill this shoes of the 1st round pick that we traded up for.

I love his size, arm, and physical abilities. I just question his ability to deliver under pressure.

I want to see Freeman go no huddle, and play all 60 minutes executed like it is the 4th Quarter.

I am not sure what to think? Is it the play calling? Is Josh Freeman a good NFL QB? Were Josh’s college stats patted because he was throwing to Jordy Nelson?

We will likely find out this year. I believe Freeman is the question on O just as much as GMC is the question on D.

So far, GMC has played like a BEAST. Josh has been so-so.

Josh Freeman wake up!

The line has actually done well in pass blocking for those who actually watch the games and don’t rely on subjective stats. And yes, Freeman has held the ball too long because his primary and secondary reads failed to get open fast enough. I believe this is one of the main reasons the Bucs added Underwood, Shipley and Owusu. Our backup WRs were just too damn slow and these three new guys have one important thing in common: SPEED.

Kryq:

Full, limited participation, respectively, yesterday in practice. Of course, no one knows if they will be on the active roster until roughly 90 minutes prior to kickoff Sunday.

I can believe that stat. We just look at the times when Freeman looks like he is holding the ball too long. But we ignore the times when Freeman quickly completes a pass when the pressure is almost right up on his face, such as the TD to Jackson in 1st qtr.

Also in both the games, one of the reasons our offense has been stagnant is the O-line allowing the pressure to get to the QB. This happened especially in the Carolina game when Charles Johnson started getting the better of Trueblood.

A pressure is defined by a subjective party and has a lot of room for opinion. “Spreadsheeters” in baseball for the most part use black and white statistics: hits, walks, runs, etc… not even close to the same as what this individual is claiming.

What’s the status of Biggers and Gaitor ? Off subject.
