the Bucs have been a good defense so far

their offense has been arse.

hence the 8.5 spread

They also hadn’t played the cowboys defense yet


True.

Chirstian Parker was getting a lot of love as a sneaky hire as Cowboys DC but I'm not seeing it.
Tampa's defense has been good but it has been their offense being arse and Baker got hurt.
South Alabama 49
Arky State 35

for you gambling fricks out there if you haven't been betting the overs on South Alabama's games like I suggested then shame on you :usa: :usa: :usa:
Tampa is going to break into the win column tonight aren't they
quote:

Fuaga is still unsettled rather than a clear hit. His overall PFF grades were 65.7 as a rookie, 64.5 last year, and 54.6 so far this season. Simply holding a starting job isn’t enough to call him a successful first-round pick.


that is interesting. He played left tackle as a rookie and that was in Kubiak's scheme. Also, a different line coach. Derek Carr played some of the games that year but then it was total arse when Rattler had to play. But the Saints were so injury riddled that year on offense I think by the end we were just ready for it to be over,

his bugaboo with penalties has been false starts. He has 18 penalties in his career but 11 of them were when he was a rookie and PFF graded him the highest they ever have. Go figure.

I need to see if Moore tries to change up what they are doing offensively. And by change, I mean not getting behind early and then having to be too predictable and throwing.
I deliver for UPS in Bayou La Batre. That small but productive seafood town was destroyed by Katrina. I didn't have this job at that time but anytime there is any threat you see it. The panic.
Ivan was bad and Katrina for parts of coastal Alabama were awful.

I hadn't been born yet but remember my parents telling us about how bad Frederick was in 1979.
this one gas station in Mobile on Old Shell was asking $4.29 had all pumps available this evening

meanwhile I'm sure Sam's, Walmart, and Costco you had a real fricking freak out :bow:

Hard to believe it’s coaching. I think I’m questioning the personnel and scheme fit


I think Moore's obsession with running up tempo offense out of the shotgun with a talented/capable QB but not a seasoned veteran QB is risky. We don't have much a run game. Usually when teams don't like their matchup with somebody who can stop the run, they will go more up tempo and throw.

I think it is coaching and scheme. These tackles are being asked to drop back in pass pro way too much. They will continue to get killed mostly if we keep going at this rate. The Falcons didn't even have Jalon walker or Pearce out there and still were a pain in the arse. The Raiders just went for the kill in the 4th quarter in our place and got it. Horrible!
quote:

The defense is our big issue now though.


a big way to help that out would be not trying to be this up tempo offense.

He should be able to see that the D has problems. How can we fix this? Can we slow it down some and keep the off the field more? Hypothetical. :lol:

but yeah, Chase Young is the best player we have on defense, and I guess Ellis is number two? No impact players in the secondary.
quote:

My biggest gripe and maybe it wasn’t his doing but etienne was a weird signing given Moore’s offensive history. Hes never been one to throw to RBs much . Etienne was a terrible fit for his scheme imo. I’m on the fence with Moore.


Moore likes running a lot of up tempo out of the shotgun and I think that is a big reason why we can't really run the ball.

Fuaga looked more comfortable in Kubiak's offense and with Benton as the line coach. I'm not saying he was a world beater but definitely not terrible for a rookie.

Kamara looked good at first in Kubiak's offense as well. Kubiak, I think would use smoke and mirrors at times and do a good job of covering up some weaknesses.

I know it's still kind of early with Moore but I'm not sensing any iron clad foundation being laid. It's sort like he's flying by the seat of his pants and throwing a lot. It's not a surprise the O-line is struggling. You cannot be for the most part one dimensional.

You think anyone fears our run game?
was Carl Nicks the last mid to late round offensive lineman that panned out as a starter
some pussy arse Cat 2 could alter the game also :dude: :usa:
quote:

The bad: formation penalties riddled us all last season and into this one (that is 100% coaching; SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN), game prep has been horrendous with awful first halves (no this is not like boxing as someone posted 2 weeks ago), he seems to have little passion


He did say that being a head coach was his dream when he took the job. But I get it. He sure looks suspect, but he also inherited a huge pile of crap because Loomis was constipated.

Loomis wanted to win as many games as he could instead of tearing it down and building back up.

beating the Ravens did fool me some.

But Baltimore will occasionally lay an egg at home. in 2024 they dropped a Week 2 home game to the Raiders. The Raiders went 4-13 that year while Baltimore went 12-5.

We caught a break without Zay Flowers in the lineup. Don't get me wrong though. No one cares about an injured player except said team's fanbase. That is the NFL for you. Every team is going to impacted by injuries.

the whole no balance on offense and shite starts in the first quarter never helps a defense that has what one impact player? Chase and then maybe Ellis?
I started to get a really bad feeling when I saw where we were going to have three starters out on defense.

I'm not so sure the outcome would have been much different even if those guys had been in the game but knew that Atlanta does have talent they just needed more capable coaching.

it was one thing for them to kick the s*** out of Green Bay because I don't think Green Bay's all that good but this game definitely confirmed that we still have a long way to go
I mean they don't have an identity.

I know it's coach speaking he says they want to be balanced and all that but they ain't balanced.

certainly aren't a smash mouth football team.

I think the most annoying thing is that the Saints have invested so much in the offensive line and they don't really have a whole lot to show for it.

granted it's still early in the season and you're down your starting left tackle but the return just hasn't really been there to me yet.

hopefully it's coming

Godcheaux and Sheperd were your starting defensive tackles last night.

no wonder the Saints were getting carved up in the running game.
