Zuttah is perfect in pass protection despite being forced to pass block 48 times

[dalbuc]

yeah I know.  It just amuses me that most Buc fans acknowledge the OL stinks  but then tell you how good each individual member of it is other than Faine.

Zuttah like almost everyone else on the line seems to do one thing well. He's a good pass blocker but almost worthless in the run game for example.

This OL has suffered so much from the loss of Aaron Sears it isn't even funny. That guy was the gorilla glue that kept this flimsy model together.

Well in fairness Sears was another one trick pony, he could block in a phone booth and that was it. No pulling, no pass protection.

zuttah playing center when Faine was out wasn't really much better.

Disagree.  Zuttah is no great shakes, but he was definitely an upgrade to Faine.  Faine sucks hard.

Zuttah would be best used as a back-up swing interior lineman.  Sadly he's been one of the best, most consistent performers on the OL this season.  That's more of an indictment on the other guys than a compliment for Zuttah.

When was the last time we had a road grader for the run game?

Considering that despite all of this beloved pass protection for Freeman has resulted in absolutely nothing, its about time we focus on letting one of the few offensive talents we have (Blount) get the chance to get out of the backfield without being hit. Its a need and I guarantee that if you get Carl Nicks and a guy like Brewster for Center you will see a 1000+ yard rusher in Blount again.

Would love to see Nicks and Wells in FA. Zuttah can be a backup...

I like Zuttah at C.

Some shots at the Bucs D and coaching in this article...

- The defensive tally for Tampa in this game was 13 missed tackles on defense, a disastrous mark for most teams, but actually only marginally more than their season average.

- That level of consistent confusion against such a simple and fundamental concept is another black mark in the coaching of the Bucs.

Our tackling is so bad I don't even notice all the missed tackles. I just assume they are part of the game now.

LOL. They are on the money with those claims. The whole coaching staff needs to be wiped out except a few pieces.

Faine plays ole 3-5 times a game.

Zuttah has 3-5 bad snaps a game.
 
Pick your poison. Each can (and have) lead to disaster. Neither are an acceptable answer at center. Zuttah is what he is, quality depth at multiple position but not a real NFL starter.

I counted three direct references to bad coaching and one implied reference (fundamentals).  They must be haters.

There was a time when the buccaneer defense missing a tackle was a surprise - pretty big change
