damn.. what an exciting finish.. yeeehaw..
You're right Infin, if that pass is on target Pittman scores. I watch it first, then the replays. Jr. was beaten badly.
These things I said I would watch out for:
LB's pass coverage: the same as last year, get beat too much.
CK one thing I notice was JT gets a good rush on his side and OGunleye is never there to push back. The buc's even roll his way to get separation from JT.
OL: Pass blocking wasn't that bad, BG is too indecisive. Jay threw the pass, got out of there, or threw away. BG holds onto the ball too long.
BG passes flow folks, for all those who said Jay's passes had no zip, BG could get recievers kills, and that's exactly what happened to Simmons and McMicheals, they have too wait too long for BG's passes.
OL backups, Wade and Yates were pretty good. The 2nd OL overall played pretty good. All ol's need to work on picking up the blitz better, same as last year. But I wasn't displeased that their overall play, even the run blocking was pretty good.
In the first 3 quarters, we threw no deep balls, the plays I saw in the Titian scrimage wasn't done here, except for the Simmons catch in the slot on a curl route 10 yards down the field.
The Buc's defintely threw a lot of looks and D fronts on us. You could tell they were in their 2nd game of preseason.
Sapp was a no show tonight.
We play vanilla short passes all night. Ricky ran maybe twice, and picked his way pretty good. Henry may be the real deal, but as Ck pointed out, he missed a blitzing LB and it eventually led to a sack, but BG had time in my opinion to get rid of the ball. Henry only pushed the LB, and you could tell he knew he blew the assignment, he actually got himself out of position to make the block. I saw him do that better in the titians game.
I'm glad the score ended up only 20-19, better than how the jets fared. But the D still has to show me how they're gonna stop the short passes. Tampa didn't attempt a deep pass on us either.
