ocho is nervous

o-line playin well, better pass blocking so far

hernandez will be a weapon this year

Woodhead makes a routine run exciting. I just love his elusiveness.

 

[italia44]

Goodell HAS to step in

hernandez will be a weapon this year

Hernandez looks great out there...him gronk..welker..ocho..so many options

It's going to be so weird when this team doesn't score. That 3rd and 10 was so out of character. Ocho does need some work though. Poor throw by Brady to Branch. Gronkowski was open and had alot of green in front of him.

Excited for 43?

I am.

It's too hard to find good OLB's in the 34. There's only a handful in this league. 2 on Pittsburgh, Mathews, Orakpo, and DeMarcus Ware. Other than that? Really not too many good 34 OLBs. That's only 5 in the entire league. There's been far more BUSTS at 34 OLB (Gholston, Crable, Maybin, etc)

The switch to 43 is an instant bandaid for the pass rush. There's less learning curve for new players brought in like Anderson and Carter.

Haynesworth is a beast in the 43.

Mayo was a tackling machine in the 34, but looks like a playmaker in the 43. He's getting to the QB unlike I've ever seen him do while at ILB in the 34. He's all over the Bucs backfield. Mayo hit the QB numerous times and has a couple sacks.

Changing to 43 is simply playing to the strengths of what is available on our roster.


Our Defense is aggressive and attacking. Lots of competition in camp is good. Everyone's competing to get a lick on the RB and QB. It looks like a feeding frenzy out there!

Our pass rush weakness last year will now be a strength. I love how this D is attacking now.

how is Solder doing tonight? no tv...no stream. at work

I like.

10 char.

 

[PatsFaninAZ]

Ocho has wanted to catch a TD from 12 for years. Happiest guy in Florida right now, I bet.

 

[patchick]

So far the OL is dominating with that skinny, raw rookie at LT.

 

[jsull87]

bout tim chad... lets make this a habbit.

Woodhead looks like he's running well. Nice from the OL so far. Tim for me to have a look at McCourty and see hos he's going.

I'm going to love to see how the DL will go when Haynesworth gets bck on the field.

 

[BadMoFo]

Sanders again with the in-game tweet.

So is it time to rest the starters?

 

[Sparetire]

I hope this is one of many TD's for 85 and brady. Hernandez is looking sharp, a TE with a WR attributes, freakin beast.

 

[SaCaCh]

That 3 TE set is going to produce nightmares for opposing teams this year...YIKES.

 

[italia44]

how is Solder doing tonight? no tv...no stream. at work

He's pushing the rushers wide like they're little children:rocker:

 

[D-Money]

This team is definetly gonna outscore alot of opponents this year.:rocker:
