All I know is that the next entire draft better be nothing but OL players. We wasted too many picks this offseason not addressing our biggest glaring need.
It was hiliariously sad on that play that got the Bucs into the RZ you could see multiple guys just diving shoulder and head first. Doubly stupid in the situation where every tackle burns a TO or time but they are all going for the big hit.
I guess you can be a little positive and say they were right there in position to win against whats likely two pretty good teams. It aint a terrible team. The AFC south is still the AFC south
The draft isn't going to save this OL. Enough fooling around. We need a big FA signing or trades. That is going to cost us, but it must be done. Not sure where that money will come from though.
Of course the sorry ass offense not only fails to convert a crucial 2-pt, but they get obliterated while trying -- and that's after their sorry ass was blessed with big return. Texans look 9-8 at best, at best -- and that's mostly defense and division.
Yup for me it's all about Seven developing bad habits. People are angry because he couldn't connect from the 1 yard line. Listen to yourselves. What team dials up a double move from the 1 yard line. One that is desperate and can't hand it off for half a yard. On the play that got them there, it was a beautiful pass that should have been a TD by Nico. Sneak it twice if you have to. Fades won't work there. The play action to the running back always does but nobody is biting at our PA. Why would they. Mina had the best tweet before the blocked punt. "Every Stroud drop back reminds me of the Last Of US where the zombies are climbing over each other at the sight of a human." Teams are going to be doing the same thing.
I kind of agree and don't.... Kenyon was a reach (obvi)... Fisher (so far) has proven to be reach at best.... Scruggs was a reach... Patterson was an ok selection, but IMHO didn't fit the bill in terms of what we were looking for. I am not sure there is a high profile OL to acquire and most of the time (not always) big OL acquisitions don't work out. It is usually better to draft and develop them. We could have had Trey Smith among others in the past and were just woefully drafting bad OL (or too scheme dependent).
The problem I see is their run game is hand it off and hope there's a hole. There's nothing exotic. There's no rpo. There's no stretch runs. There are no reverses. There are no designed qb runs. They used rbs in the passing game some and it worked, then they stopped. When the defense knows the running back is either blocking or running into the pile it makes their job easy. As bad as they are, I think they should try a 4 wide look and see if they can run the ball with the second level loosened up. Can't be worse than what they get now.
Penalties, bad blocking, inability to run the ball on first down, bad quarterback play (holding the ball too long, missing wide open recievers), not executing on big downs offensively and defensively. Guys these are all hallmarks of a bad football team. I've seen this show before far too many times in this franchises history to this point. This season will get people fired if it continues.
