No shocker in this game. Turner running the ball at the Bucs D all day.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

TD 2 yard run for Turner. Textbook Atl drive, included a converted 4th and 2.

Caddy still starting, wtf

I don't get it. Two carries for nothing. What are they waiting for?

 

[el-gato-grande]

Caddy still starting, wtf

Why don't you understand? He's so effective... Last Play: 2-5-TB 41(5:54) C.Williams left guard to TB 42 for 1 yard (S.Nicholas).Last Play: 1-10-ATL 39(4:45) C.Williams up the middle to ATL 41 for -2 yards (W.Moore).

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Tampa is passing a lot, maybe he is better at blitz pick-up.

 

[Hybrid]

Caddy is an outstanding pass blocker. I believe Blount just missed a key block off of Freeman's blind side.

well maybe with Blount teams wont assume they only have to defend pass against Bucs?I dont get why Coaches sometimes overthink the simplest things

 

[Master of Past and Present]

White hurt, slowly walking on his own to sideline.

 

[faulkfan]

I don't think Morris is a rocket scientist, and apparently using your best RB is rocket science...

 

[ProBowler88]

White hurt, slowly walking on his own to sideline.

How did he get hurt?

No updates yet on White.

 

[shortbow]

He got tackled from behind and he hit both of his knees on the ground then the defender fell on his legs.

He got up quick and walked off, then walked off the field without help, id say he'll be back but who knows.

 

[Bhdevault]

White is back in. Says he feels 100%

 

[Osaurus]

White back in. Their run game seems unstoppable thus far.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Jenkins made 2 big plays on the drive, big catch and just got enough of a pass that was almost picked.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Good answer by the Bucs, Benn from Freeman as Atlanta just keeps bringing pressure leaving WRs 1 on 1.

Trying to rattle Freeman, but he looks pretty poised in the pocket, willing to throw it up to those 1 on 1's you speak of.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

White getting the knee looked at on the side line again. Looks like massaging it maybe.

 

[Bhdevault]

Now White on sideline while offense is on field, being checked out again.

 

[Bhdevault]

White heading to locker room. Damn... my first week starting him after a big trade too.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Head to locker room now, trainers saw something when he was on the field with trouble moving laterally.

 

[timschochet]

More of Williams. So far Blount has exactly one carry for 3 yards. NOT what I was anticipating...

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Horrible pass coverage by Robinson. Simple slant and TD for Williams from Freeman for TD.

ETA: Atl dropped a pretty easy INT opportunity early in the drive, big swing.

 

[Sabertooth]

I put this on you.

 

[PennStater77]

I just acquired Matt Ryan.. How does he look? Playing against Freeman..

 

[Bad_Mo]

Any word on White?

 

[krugoh]

hopefully we hear something at halftime. Give him some of whatever they give favre lol. Just traded hillis and mike wallace for him...

 

[Bhdevault]

No word on White. I have a strong feeling that could be a key to the game too. He's such a great posession receiver along with Gonzo.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Looks fine, taking what is given and making smart decisions. TB started getting some pressure late 2nd Q which is where most his incompletions have come in, Atl has missed some pick ups.

 

[Bad_Mo]

Unfortunately. the Falcons trainers are all out of over-react-embellish-the-heck-out-of-every-hit-like-you-were-shot pills

Week 2, turner fell down, they benched him the entire game for snelling.

White is supposed to return per sideline reporting from what Coach Smith said. Bucs have ball first.

[Master of Past and Present]

No one in backfield with Freeman, free blitzer, Freeman tries a stupid pass and is picked.

 

[G-Money]

Thanks for that update.

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

fwiw roddy white is playing the 2nd half per mike smith. they showed him running and catching on sideline without pained expressions.

 

[Rand al Thor]

Bucs have been in the shotgun over half the time in the first half. Blount has missed at least two blitz pickups, one of which led to a sack. That is why Cadillac is in there. Even though he can't run that well, he can read a defense and protect Freeman. A couple of weeks ago on a local radio show, Raheem acknowledged that Cadillac was only in there to keep Freeman from getting hit.

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

roddy with a 10 yard catch on 3rd and 10 from 11. [tampa has challenged the spot as it just was enough for a 1st down obviously)

ugh so close.

and now we see why (on that pick)

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Refs gave Atl a first on the White catch but TB challenging and should be 4th. Atl should have hurried to the line on that one.

ETA: Wow, guess not, it stands.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Mistake by Turner. Stopped on the line, triesd to break it out and losses 4.

Blount is definitely the better runner but Caddy is still going to get a ton of playing time. Unless Blount improves his blocking skills dramatically all you have to do is look at what happened to Romo and Gronkowski to understand why coaches think blocking is important for running backs.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Ryan to Palmer for a 5 yd TD. Gonzo and White on his side to atract the attention.

 

[el-gato-grande]

2-4-TB 38 (9:12) L.Blount right tackle to TB 41 for 3 yards (S.Nicholas, W.Moore).

1-10-TB 32 (9:52) L.Blount left end to TB 38 for 6 yards (S.Nicholas).

1-10-TB 20 (10:30) L.Blount right end to TB 32 for 12 yards (B.Grimes).

Second half is Blount time. Here we go.

Abraham needs to stay home and cover his run responsibilities. On one, Atl had him for a 3 yard loss but Abraham over pursued and Blount got the back side. On the next Abraham ran right past him on a pass rush.
