No team should be able to get pressure with a 3 man rush. I’m surprised it took Sheridan “after the fact watching film”. It was pretty obvious after a short time and would have been easy to make an adjustment. This is basic stuff and concerns me a great deal with this staff.

All those draft picks on the D-Line, and not a pro bowl to show for it.

Adrian Clayborn, Gerald McCoy, Brian Price, Daquan Bowers, Roy Miller are all draft picks from rounds 1-3….

We need to sign a pass rush artist in Free Agency. We need to overpay for passrush, because clearly we are having issues drafting consistently healthy difference makers.

“They blocked us up.”?!?!?! That’s the F’ing answer?

Well what they heck do you think the probability of a sack is when you rush 3 vs 5 (or 6)? LOW, VERY LOW

You’re basically saying we’re going to play defense on the back end and try to contain you with 3. The back end is our sore spot.

Rushing 4 or 5 consistently would have been better.

Fresh baked doughnuts Joe???? I was thinking more of a powdered Beignet from Cafe Du Mond… Nothing like giving Drew Breeze all day to throw oh well…….

I was concerned about the Pass D and then I read this from Stephen White ~

We are in worse shape than I thought. Looks like the players aren’t at all on the same page (which was evident watching the game) and not aware of down, distance and obvious probability. OUCH (thanks Mr. White!)

Vic,

That seems to be the common theme w/ this coaching staff! Hope it’s just growing pains and won’t continue to be the trend down the road!

honest assessment and takes responsibility. Bucs run D has been “swarming” very impressive but I am very concerned with the Pass D…. so far it simply is not working and getting burned all over the field inspite of some spectacular individual efforts (Ronde, Biggers, Barron, Wright)
Why was Macdonald covering Colston in the 3rd and 4th quarters when in man coverage???

I’m just a fan and not a coach and even I know you don’t rush three and drop eight against Brees, because he can fit the ball into the smallest of windows. And Sheridan didn’t see this coming? What gives? You could drop 20 and Brees would still hit his receivers if given enough time. What a stupid strategy…basically you’re saying we’re gonna give you all the time you want to find a receiver and hope we have enough guys in coverage that you can’t fit the ball in. Freaking ridiculous.

I hate overreacting but Sheridan makes some terrible decisions. Now he deserves some credit for our run d turn around but the fact that he even considered going with three man rushes that much against a guy like Brees scares me. He made at best questionable calls against the giants and skins as well. He blitzes when he shouldn’t and he lays off when he should blitz. It’s like he doesn’t have a clue.

I think barring a turnaround, he’s got to go at the end of the year. He just makes to many head scratching calls.
