We need to be physical, but I don't think this team has that in them. I see a repeat of the SF game last year.

We need to take several steps to be successful in TB this Monday night, but number one for me is to have a physical attitude. Both lines need to come off the ball to send a message. RBs need to hit it hard. LBs and DBs need to fly around and get in on the action, wanting to send a message.

TB is taking the approach that the 8-9 and 12-5 records mean nothing. Only what happens Monday for 60 minutes of game time matters. I have no doubt that they plan to come out and smack us in the mouth to see how we react. We need to meet that philosophy with equal or superior ferocity. TB goes as their LBs go. I saw the Ravens pound them into submission, blocking those two great LBs and pushing them 10 yards down the field. Linderbaum totally embarrassed Devon White, who was shaking his head on the sideline. I hope we watched that game closely and adjusted blocking patterns. I hope we come out with 3 TEs and Ceedee.

If we allow TB to be the more physical team, I think that’s trouble. We don’t have the skill players to win with finesse.
I'm all about that three tight ends and run the ball we have three good tight ends that can catch the ball.

We could run real strong with three tight ends out there and they can all catch well enough where we could audible to a pass play at any time.


We need to be physical run the ball at them Dak needs to run

We have to create manageable down and distance situations third and three is a good thing


Three and out is freaking unacceptable when you have all that talent we have and you can't get three and a half yards a down.

Dak has to abandon the greatest show on turf mentality and concentrate on just moving the chains.

Dak plays best in a hurry up mentality.

When he gets greedy and waits for the big play continually it kills us. His decision making has to speed up and he has to get the ball out or run it himself but whatever happens the chains have to move and it's his responsibility to get it done and make the right decision to make it happen

If i had a nickle for everytime we faced a weak or injured oline and yet still barely applied pressure, i could probably buy the cowboys from jerruh

Although i hope at least Hankins back helps Osa and Gali(long shot) stay fresh to keep pressure down the middle.
THAT'S WHY WHEN PEOPLE SAY WE WILL GET A LOT OF SACKS I laugh!!!!! Backups come in and handle our guys with ease, it's a joke!!!!

Was it really that shocking. Everyone knows this team is bipolar. Capable of beating anyone, capable of losing to anyone.

You mean or we lose?
Look I am all for running the ball successfully. Just dont think its going to happen against the Bucs. Think its a losing strategy. Its their defensive strength. So if we go that route, especially with zeke you can probably expect a slow start and low scoring. Then if our defense doesnt show up its a double digit deficit early.

I cant help it if you are unaware of the strengths and weaknesses of the team we are playing.
