bucsfan333 Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 I think I'm most worried about communication with Evans back there. He only got one day of practice with the starters this week. I hope he can go 65 plays without making too many mistakes. His awful tackling worries me too. But I'm more worried about a wide open Gronk up the seam.

kgarrett12486 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I'm excited to see Evans. He's gonna bring some energy, hopefully he can harness it though and not rack up the penalties you tend to see from rookie safeties... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucsfan333 Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 Per New England’s media relations staff, tonight is the first non-Thanksgiving Thursday night road game the Patriots have played since 1990. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buc Ball Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 If we play smart on the back end and don't give them anymore yac than their timing routes are designed to get them, we'll have a chance. This means wrapping up from Evans. Brady is playing too well to get anyone lit up unless he somehow starts forcing it, which given our pass rush, isn't likely. A young Tanard Jackson-esque performance from Evans this evening and a great gameplan by Smith slows them down. A great game from our offence knocks them out. This is like Seattle from last season - a free shot at home against a good team. There's nothing better than watching a Bucs team play well under the lights at Ray Jay. We just don't see it enough and it'll take everything we've got in all 3 phases for it to happen tonight. I'm about ready for this team to make some noise again.

T-Jack rookie year in 08 was probably the best year I ever seen from a rookie safety. He was a top coverage FS and he did it without a pass rush. Our secondary was underrated with Talib, Barber, and T-Jack on the back end. Guy simply couldn't lay off the weed and Talib couldn't stay out of trouble so Bucs had to purge. Which a damn shame because the Bucs would be in a way better position right now if they actually had kept their draft picks from the previous regime.

bucsfan333 Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 The play from TJax that stands out to the most to me wasn't even a pass play. It was the one where he blew up two pulling olinemen which opened it up for someone to stuff the play. Can't remember who it was against. He and Reggie Nelson both had great rookie seasons that year.

ravishingone Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 IMO, there won't be too much for Evans to figure out because I don't expect Smith to call a lot of blitzes. Keep it simple and hope he plays fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
