Steve White’s breakdowns are great. I learn a ton every time I read anything he writes on football and defenses. Please add more posts with Steve White breakdowns.

Joe, more Steve White please. Enjoyed the thorough breakdown.

Expect Atlanta to throw the quick slants on first down, they watch film too.

I’m fine with blitzes but would I would like to see more is disguising of coverages. The Bucs seem to rarely run zone out of their blitz looks (when they do they’ve gotten at least one INT-Ahmad Black vs Raiders) and instead run mostly man leaving their CBs with little or no help in 0 or 1 deep coverage. It has been a couple weeks since our CBs have been beaten on a 9 route, but when we blitz the house, we all know it’s coming.

@ Brain,

Michael Turner is on the way out, but he is not the “worst starting RB in the NFL”…. I am sure some teams would/could use his services: Dolphins, Cardinals, Chargers… etc.

This is a “we can put up 36, what can you do?” kinda game…

Run the ball (Atlanta has given up some 100+ yard rushers)
Stop the run (Michael Turner might be the worst starting back in the NFL)
Force turnovers (Ryan threw 5 INTs last week, we’re 6th in the NFL in turnover margin)

Win the game, regardless of our disastrous CB situation.
