Before I get going, Im just as mad, disappointed, sad about tonights game as any true buc fan around
Ive been a 20 year Buc fan and been lurking here for probably 10 years. Don`t ask me why I thought tonight should be my first posts ... lol... I dont know!
Positives I take on after tonight:
-QB
Jameis has got the IT factor, thats still pretty obvious. We have our franchise QB who is a natural leader and will continue to learn from his mistakes. I think most of his calls at the line whether they be changes in protection or play audible, seem to turn out to be mostly positive plays. Hes Learning.
-RB
Sims has really got some shifty moves to his game and is a very good receiver. While not a true feature back, he will learn a lot during these few games and I think that will help him and Doug compliment each others games even better.
-WR
Hump! Damn if he isnt starting to remind me of a young Wes Welker type. If he turns out to be anything to that close....score. Evans continues to show great ability to find space in between the zone coverages and has a knack for getting open. Against man, he doesnt gain much separation but continues to show he doesn`t really need to.
-TE
Hmmmm ... seems weve upgraded the position in the last few days :) While most will agree that Brate will never have the explosive POTENTIAL of an ASJ type... games arent won with potential. Brate is a hard working dude that the fans love and probably the locker room too. We could use 1 or 2 more of those guys.
-OL
All in all with the exception of D. Smith I thought the OL had a pretty decent game considering what they were up against. Several guys played various different roles and I think the versatility is a big plus in the course of a long season.
-DL
I won`t pretend to be super knowledegable on this one ... I see some splash plays and mostly VERY good run defence. GMac does indeed have one of the quickest first steps in the league.
-LB
Our LB`s are flying and swarming to the ball, Do Kwon and LD54 remind anyone else of Hardy and Brooks sometimes
-Secondary
..................(Crickets).............
-Special Teams
Our Punt and kickoff coverage was pretty good (though they did get us on the kickoff fake).
Thats all Ive got for now off the top of my head without re-watching the game.
As for the negatives ........ I am definitely not emotionally ready yet to discuss those. There are dozens of other threads full of those right now, If anyone else saw anything good out of tonights game, throw it in!
Just remember, there`s going to be that rainbow after the thunderstorm....... somewhere.......someday........ I hope
