I think we play to much press at the line. I think if the CBs mix it up, press or playing off, that would help with not getting burnt

I’m sorry, but I don’t see the lack of pass rush. The effort there and quarterbacks are getting hit much of the time…it’s just a hair late. This will improve as the season goes on…or next season when we have a healthy Dline.

I do see a predictable blitz, but there was a time when the Bucs rarely blitzed at all. Again, I think it is part of the development process.

the main reason our blitzes don’t work is because they are predictable, the blitzer walks up to the line so the QB can audible, rather than waiting a half a count to let the line think they have the call right and the blitzer find the open whole, kind of like a rb running to daylight. The cb’s on those plays must get an initial chuck at the line and backpeddle with balance or turn the hips forcing the receiver to the direction the cb wants not the other way around. this can be fixed most is fundemental.

So, what is it, scheme or players?

It all depends on who is viewing the trade. Patriots fans thinks that they hit the lottery with the trade, because they haven’t had a decent cornerback since Ty Law. If Talib can stay out of trouble with the system that they run he can be effective so they got what they wanted.

Bucs fans are shocked we even got anything for him. We are building for the future and Talib was always in trouble and is one trouble away from a one year suspension. I really don’t care I think we got what we wanted they got what they needed so even split.

Anyone notice how effective our CB/safety blitzes are?

Anyone see that yahoo article about how belicheat swindled the bucs for Talib? I’d post a link but I don’t think the joes like that. Pissed me off though. Well see who swindled who in a couple months

Draft Xavier Rhodes from FSU …and pick up another in F/a

our legendary, iconic FS is one of the main culprits, IMO. Yes, some of the “burns” have been straight 1 on 1′s, BUT the FS’s main responsibility is playing CF. Barron’s been more of a run-stopping safety, although he to should take some credit or blame, but the FS main responsibilty, ussually, is to be the last line, and that would be BARBER. Of course, he’s not all to blame, but blamin’ everything on the CB’s is ridiculous. It’s on the entire secondary, including Ronde Barber.

Ronde is the greatest.

Awesome picture.

I believe in Leonard Johnson and EJ Biggers. They will step it up the next few weeks.

I am excited to see us adding a speed demon CB to the mix. Nice signing. Of LeQuan Lewis.

I am happy to sent Aqib Talib to New England. He can continue to grow as a player and conpete immediately. I will still root for Aqib Talib.

And the 4th round pick is real nice too.

We will need Ronde and Barron to really step it up and help our corners. And we will need our D-Line to get to Philip Rivers. Otherwise, its gonna be a long day.

You can have a bunch of Pro Bowl DB’s, but if your blitzes are Ineffective &
you don’t get a Pass Rush to make opposing QB’s uncomfortable,then your
secondary is going to get shred apart all day long! I’m hoping for a better
Pass Rush the next 8 wks!

Now that I think of it maybe the reason we see so many 1 on 1 due to the blitz is the reason were so good with the run. The problem could be is once we stop the run game will begain to hurt us.
