ravishingone Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Considering Grimes wasn't able to practice since the second week of training camp, I expect he ll be better. Even if Ward is declining in ability, he is still the best safety on the roster. No reason to believe he won't be up to full speed after the mini bye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In their last 9 games, the Bucs are 7-2 with a scoring differential of +59. Let me take it a step further. Last year, the Bucs beat 3 playoff teams. In comparison, the Lions who made the playoffs beat no playoff teams. The dark days are over as long as Jameis is playing and the rest of the core remains reasonably healthy. This team is no fluke. They are not going to win every week, but they won't be an easy out either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressures and hurries are good indicators of how we fared, and the Bucs had a high number in both categories last week. Sacks are the main goal yes but hurries and pressures typically result in picks and incompletions. Bucs weren't a top team in sacks last year but we had the best third down defense in the league last year. And that is despite us being somewhat of a team that wasn't good at stopping the run. I think Spence has a sack next week coming off the edge vs Keenum and McCoy will have a big day too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what world is Mike Thomas as good as Mike Evans? We all know the answer to that but it was just funny to read their thoughts on our offense.

Tyson Jr Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Disrespectful is what it was lol. Im just saying it doesnt sound as if they pay attention to the rest of the league. Yeah have confidence in your team but if they wanna brush us aside like this then theyre in for a rude awakening sunday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucsfan333 Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 Let's hope so. Gotta come out like we did last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravishingone Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I thought I saw Ward exclusively paired with Conte last week. I wonder if Evans would get the nod over Tandy if Conte can't play. On Sunday, the DEs must get some pressure. I believe the tackles are Reiff and Remmers. Remmers played in Carolina the last few years, so there is familiarity. Kickoff feels so far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucsfan333 Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 This really sucks. I wanted to see what he could do this year. The guy is just made of glass. It might be good for us though. But Keenum has lit us up before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 When Vikings cornerback Xavier Rhodes played his final season for Florida State in 2012, Jameis Winston was redshirting as a freshman. Rhodes remembers the young quarterback well. Rhodes: “He always wanted to race. He thought he was the fastest person on the team, knowing he was the slowest. He would compete in anything. He thought he had the best hands, he thought he could cover anyone at defensive back. I’m like, ‘Bro, you’re just an all-around athlete running a 4.8, huh?’ He always had confidence, he always believed in himself and his talent, and it shows in the NFL. I can see the progress from when he was there at Florida State to now. He’s accurate with his throws, he’s smart deciding who to throw to in certain coverages. We chat up, talk about Florida State, and I ask how he’s doing and he asks how I’m doing. I tell him, ‘You’re doing great things in the league,’ and he tells me the same.” http://www.twincities.com/2017/09/20/vikings-rb-dalvin-cook-ready-to-show-bucs-what-theyre-missing/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 In his first two NFL games, Cook has carried 34 times for 191 yards and a sparkling 5.6 average. That’s the most yards rushing by a Vikings player in his first two games, passing the 169 Adrian Peterson had in 2007. Zimmer: “Dalvin has been a great kid since he’s come in here. He’s come in here and worked hard. He’s studied hard and prepared hard. Our expectations were really high for him, and he at least met those expectations. Every week he does something. He shows great speed and acceleration. I think he continues to get better each week. We’re extremely happy and pleased with his progress so far.” http://www.twincities.com/2017/09/20/vikings-rb-dalvin-cook-ready-to-show-bucs-what-theyre-missing/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
