Gaines Adams dropped Brad Johnson late in the first half on Sunday for the Bucs first sack in 16 quarters

It had been 16 quarters since the Bucs last sack, when Gaines Adams dropped Dallas quarterback Brad Johnson for a loss late in the second quarter on Sunday.

Oooooooh.

Sack No. 2 came late in the fourth quarter. Ryan Sims drove Johnson to the turf for a big loss with 4 1/2 minutes left in the game to set up the Bucs final drive.

To find fault with the Bucs defense would be unfair nitpicking – other than their needless penalties. Tampa Bay allowed just 13 points to Dallass and did enough to win. 

Chucky can’t rely on defensive scores every week.   

However, the pass rush wasn’t what it could have been against Johnson, an old stiff stuck in the pocket.  As Joe says every week, the Bucs need to start getting to quarterbacks consistently, or they will be burned by the good ones every time.
