QB: Fitz - He was running for his life back there on half of the drop backs. Part of it not just D. Smith's play. It was the jailbreak coming inside as the Dolphins were overloading A gaps with Blitzers + Suh. Koetter finally adjusted on the final drive by keeping Sims in instead of lined up wide on shotgun formations.
RB: Martin is not having help from blockers but he is also not seeing the field properly. Also, he has lost the extra gear in his step. Sims is a classic 3rd down back and Barber is probably the best back with vision on the team. Rodgers is surprisingly elusive.
WR: Evans, Godwin and DJax did what they could given the circumstances surrounding pass blocking being lackluster. Humphries needs to play more consistently.
TE: Howard with a huge game, and finally the Bucs are attacking with him. Brate was more quiet than normal but again given the pass blocking woes this was understandable.
OL: I can't give a kudos to ANY player on the oline in this game. However, that holding call against Dotson was bogus. Also, pass blocking was iffy and run blocking was outright atrocious.
DL: They held gap integrity but they could have done more.
LB: The play of LB's was aggressive but at times you wonder if they should have stopped plays from developing.
CB: I was happy with the play of the CB's but the play calling on defense in the second half looked more like prevent than aggressive. I will have to go back and watch the tape.
S: Safties didn't screw up which is A+ when talking about the position.
P: Anger had a downer.
K: Murray missed one but redeeemd himself.
Koetter: 1st half play calling brilliant. 2nd half play calling wayyyyyy too predictable (eg 1st down pass, 2nd down toss, third down shotgun).
Smith: Defensive play calling was off in the second half as it was too laid back.
