Carolina at Tampa Bay (1 Viewer)

How did Jackson get 22 targets last week and now Glennon doesn't even look in his direction?
The Falcons took a slightly different approach on defense against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. swapping out rookie Desmond Trufant for Robert McClain in the nickel.

Trufant performed extremely well, earning a positive rating from Pro Football Focus, and allowing just six completions on 12 targets. Tampa Bay's top receiver, Vincent Jackson, was the intended receiver on nine of those targets, and Trufant allowed Jackson to pull in just four of those targets for a total of 40 yards, and no touchdowns. Twelve of those yards came after the catch.

Trufant successfully kept Vincent Jackson out of the end zone with a timely red zone pass deflection. Jackson did have two receiving touchdowns, but they came in coverage against Thomas DeCoud and Asante Samuel, respectively. Trufant also managed a forced fumble, stripping the ball from Vincent Jackson after a 10-yard reception.

It's worth noting that rookie Robert Alford, starting outside in place of Trufant, also performed well in coverage. Alford allowed one completion on three targets for a total of eleven yards.

The Bucs adjusted their offensive game plan to try to exploit Trufant against Jackson, and Trufant lived up to the challenge
 
Schiano is going to help the Bucs lock up a top5 pick and in prime position to grab a QB, why would the Glazers fire him?

I don't think the Glazers fire him until the end of year.

 
Accidentally started Wright. Wanted to put Pettigrew in there if Mike Williams wasn't out. Forgot to make the change in time...woo!

 
Thank you for laying down Carolina defense. And dropping two easy interceptions on that drive. That garbage TD cost me points. :wall:

 
Seriously, James is WIDE OPEN right in front of that 6'7'" goober...almost every play...he marched down the field using Leonard and then fails to throw it once to James to let him make a play
