Some Positives This Year

[mz1888]

1. The o-line is playing better than anyone thought they would. We are averaging 4.4 yards a carry thats tied for 9th in the nfl. We have given up 21 sacks thats about mid pack tied for 14 the least in the league and that number would be down, but painter holds the ball way to long on a few sacks.

2. Angered, Conner, and even wheeler are doing a good job for three young lbs. Very surprised with wheeler, he looked lost his first two years. Now he actually looks like he can contribute.

3. Jarrahs powers is actually healthy threw 10 games. By far our best corner who has had injury problems his first two seasons.

4. Pat Mcafee is turning into one the best punters in the league. He's starting to directional kick which is a lost art in the NFL

5. Only two other player worth mentioning bethea is having a solid yeAr, but with so many wholes in the secondary it's hard to get any recognition. And Jeff Saturday is quietly having one of the best years of his career...

our lbs are allowing passes in the middle of the field, and then they make the tackle and lead the nfl in tackles instead of batting the pass down and stopping the gain for first down, poor lbs or system? i dont know. we need to lead in picks and broken up passes instead of tackles for first down yardage

That might have as much to do with playing a soft zone every other snap as it does with their ability to cover the pass. Although, they aren't exactly ballhawks either.

The tampa cover two we play allows those short passes in the middle of the field, I say like many other people it's time for a change on D.......
