Joe’s First Quarter Thoughts

December 6th, 2009

* Well, that’s a good start: Barrett Ruud drilling Jonathon Stewart at the line.

* Whoops. Typed too soon.

* It appears Elbert Mack is going to have a busy day.

* WRAP UP DAMNIT!

* Oh, boy. Now Elbert Mack is out and a glorified practice squad player is in: Derrick Roberson.

* When you have to count on a strong safety to tackle a running back at the line…

* Terrible first series thus far by the Bucs defense.

* Mo Stovall with a huge catch. (His numbers are very close to Michael Clayton’s FYI).

* Where exactly was Josh Freeman throwing that ball? Wow. Really bad interception.

* This is not looking good. Already.

* OUTRAGEOUS! Grade school football players have better tackling technique than the Bucs are showing. WRAP UP!!!

* Bucs got lucky. Steve Smith totally schooled Elbert Mack and was wide open for a touchdown but Matt Moore threw the ball into another zip code.

* Nice shovel pass by Freeman to avoid a sack. Smart.

* Finally a good defensive play. Solid defense there by Tarnard Jackson.

* The practice squad guy (Roberson) nearly with a pick. Of course Moore forced that pass.

* Very nice runback by Sammie Stroughter. It helps that there were a few mistackles, but hey…

* Damn. Antonio Byrant made a helluva catch/near-catch but the ball wasn’t exactly well-thrown. He was wide open.

* Nice run by Derrick Ward. Come on Greg Olson, run the friggin’ ball, will ya?

    Can we throw the ball to Winslow or Stroughter!? Cmon! The run isn’t our strength right now.

    PS. Our defense forgot how to tackle
