Pats @ Bucs (1 Viewer)

[captain_amazing]

Bucs D-Line getting great penetration so far.... Really messing with the Pats offense. I'll try and post some observations.

 

[captain_amazing]

Vereen is out right now.... Did something to his right ankle ... Did not look serious.

 

[captain_amazing]

Great run by Ridley.... Good blocking .... About 30 yards.

 

[captain_amazing]

TD for Ridley... Great drive by Pats... Ridley had some really good looks.

Is Blount dressed for this game?

 

[captain_amazing]

Here are some brief highlights thus far:

- Pats offense off to slow start, much of which I'd attribute to the O-lines early poor overall play and maybe some rust from Brady.

- Ridley looks great. Vereen looked OK when he was in, but nothing special.

- Bucs offense looks great. Jackson had one pretty bad drop, but other than that they have had the upper hand on the Pats D.

- Bucs D had a pick six on a short pass to Gronk that was tipped.

ThanksI noticed (via NFL.com)that Martin is getting all the touches so far

 

[duaneok66]

Blount just got a carry.

 

[captain_amazing]

Good defensive battle going on atthis point. Both D-Lines getting good penetration to disrupt running plays and force quicker passing plays.

When does Doug Martin's stock start dropping?

Hernandez fumbles, but was recovered out of bounds. Hernandez has had a history of some fumbling issues, so, for Pats fans, this could be considered worrisome.

When does Doug Martin's stock start dropping?

???

He's averaging less than 3/carry for the preseason. He hasn't had a single good game.

 

[Ron_Mexico]

How does Nate Solder look ?

I'm worried about the left side of the O-line with him there.

Doug Martin = Ray Rice 2.0

 

[12punch]

he's actually been alright -- brady's gettin pressure from the right, and there was an unblocked guy who slipped up the middle

 

[12punch]

clark actually caught one on the first or second possession, but freeman has been looking kind of lol more recently

 

[duaneok66]

Is Blount dressed for this game?

he had three carries

 

[Premier]

McCoy, Clayborn and Joseph all leave the game for the Bucs. Preseason is such a fn waste.

Doug Martin = Ray Rice 2.0

LOL. Probably not.Joseph is a HUGE blow. Our guard depth isn't good, at all. So hopefully he isn't out for long. But it doesn't sound promising....

 

[12punch]

beli says the key to the second half is they've got to play better -- do everything better

According to the Tampa Bay Times, the Bucs believe RG Davin Joseph's left knee injury is season-ending.

Bummer

Dang. Joseph and Nicks were supposed to be a dominant guard duo this year. Sucks.

From a fantasy standpoint, Martin takes a hit.
