I see many have not been made privvy to the Bucs in the western part of the country. That's quite alright. My knowledge of the Seahawks is slim to none.
Wide Receiver
Joseph Galloway vs. Terrance Glenn
Both possess similar abilities, but Glenn's distinct height advantage may cause some concern with opposing defenses. By the way, I saw that catch on Monday Night Football last Monday and must say that it rivals only that of what Keyshawn used to do at Raymond James on Sunday afternoons. Glenn does have some good route-running ability. He appears to be running the correct routes on every play. However, it's tough for me to judge since I, obviously, don't have a playbook at my disposal.
Galloway is just a freak of nature. The man is really fast. He'll catch anything over the middle. His body is sculpted out of rock hard granite. The shape he is in rivals that of most superspeed class sprinters. Luckily he has a quarterback that can get him the ball both on time as well as when he's ready for it.
Advantage: Galloway by a smidge.
Tight End
Alexander S. Smith vs. Jason P. Witten
Here is where the rubber meets the street. When you talk about Tight Ends, how can you not talk about Witten? He's often overlooked because he played at a second-rate university, but that doesn't mean the guy can't lay down the cards when he's asked to do so. From what I've researched, Parcells loves the kid. That new contract of his will make him a rich man in due time, but that will not stop him from being one of the best at his position. Great hands, wonderful blocking, however his lack of production in the running game may hinder the offense down the stretch.
Smith is coming off one of the best rookie campaigns for a rookie TE in the league. Again, being reared by one of the best coaches ever can't hurt, can it? He should be more of a focus for Simms when the TE is the number one option on a passing play. Look for Smith to make the probowl...this season.
Advantage: Witten
More to Come...
