The most obvious is the lack of defense.. With the additions we have acquired this off season.. we all expected a dominating defense.. No.. not just a good defense or an above average defense...
We/I expected the defense to swarm all over the offense and force 3 n outs, like they were going out of style...
What we saw (or heard) was our first string defense playing catch-up to the Bucs 2nd string QB.. Running around the field like they wore cement laced football cleats... No resemblance at all of a dominating defense. The Bucs could pretty much run at will and pass at will with a minor interruption of one or two good defensive plays...
It is obvious that our soft spot is still the linebackers.. runs up the middle hurts us and passes to the TE's hurt us.. I will give TB a little credit because they are SuperBowl Champs and this is their 2nd pre-season game.. but come on guys.. lets be realistic here.. our defense could not stop them... in fact.. this is the really scary part... we couldnt even slow them down..
On the offense... this is where pre-season really means nothing!! Ricky only had two runs, Feidler wasnt playing and I believe I heard the team didnt even set out with a game plan..
On the bright side, Tolver and Stemke sure looks good.. dont they??
