i think if you take a look at the last 16 games of raheem morris’ staff and the first 16 (eventually) of greg schiano’s staff, it will be about as stark an example of the importance of coaching in the NFL as you can find. this is a group of coaches holding their players accountable in meeting rooms and on the practice field and filling their players with knowledge and, consequently, confidence. the last coaching staff seemed to count on pros acting like pros, and there seemed to be this bizarre assumption that swagger trumped preparation. god forbid you dent a player’s confidence by implying they had plenty to learn

Joe,… you are the best writer in Tampa Bay! I get the shivers when I think about reading BUC news from the other writers, but can always count on you for good insight and interesting content! Keep it up, this was spot on! GO BUCS!

Definitely a great job yesterday by the O-line and Coach Bostad.

David Joseph?!

Really, it is a remarkable job when you think about all the curves he’s been thrown. Great job!

Bostad has done an excellent job with our Oline.

And how about Sully… His playcalling has made us 1st in scoring in the past four plus games.

When have we ever been a top 5, let–alone, number one in scoring!!!

I think our teams is getting a hang on the playbook!

100% Agreed. Bostad deserves the props. Next on the list to get singled out on the coaching staff for doing an outstanding job… Byner. He’s got Lorig playing solid FB and although Martin started a bit slow, has come on so strong now that he’s a legitimate ROY candidate. Maybe after that we look at the LB coach??? or talk about devastation to a unit, the DB group is decimated… and although not playing exceptional, they’re still getting turnovers, production from undrafted rookie Leonard Johnson, Ahmad Black is becoming solid… Even though the DBs have been the weakest group, I still have to give their coach props, just for being able to field a team there. I’ll give him a pass on MyLew, as he really has no other option on the roster (though I’d rather see McDonald back out there)

Was worried about getting into the Coaching pool late during the offseason. Coach has put together a great group of teachers and it’s manifesting itself now. The games are very exciting this year!

It took him four weeks to see larsen was getting bullrushed into the back field. Give lorig clark and byham some credit for staying on there blocks..Luke too! Meredith need to get a helmet on somebody when he pulls.. Larsen isn’t the best pass blocker but get him pulling on a linbacker he excels. Zuttah’s a beast on the linebacker pull also!

Whole staff is developing well, it’s amazing what solid coaching can do for a team. Agree with most that the Bostad hiring was spot on. Wisconsin has annually been an OL factory. Besides Carimi & Thomas, Bostad has Urbik & Zeitler starting at G for the Bills and Bengals as well as Konz & Moffitt as backups for the Falcons and Seahawks.

More proof that the reports that nobody wanted to work for/with Schiano were bs…

Great O-Line coach. Maybe Ricky Wagner in the 3rd next year!
