OT: Official 2020 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

[amfootball]

McCaffrey won't play this Sunday. That is big for the Bucs.

 

[amfootball]

Looks like BA is getting into a pissing contest with Tom.

Did you read the article? Arians said he wanted to keep Browns pitch count down so he can better work him into the offense and also hopes they don't have to throw as much given how far down they got in the Saints game. Not a pissing contest in the least.

 

[amfootball]

Brady can have all the toys in the world but he'll struggle against pressure, he folds more now in his old age.

Lol. All QBs struggle under pressure.

Buccaneers' Oline played extremely bad against Saints but it doesn't change the fact Tom made some silly plays. Definitely he was looking at AB more often than other WR.

I read it but it seemed to me like he was saying "put your toys away Tom we're going to run the ball".

not really...

They need to run. That was a horror show on Sunday and Arians needs to not get Tom killed. I doubt Tom disagrees.

They do need to run but that game got out of hand fast so they bailed on it completely. I just think there may be some animosity from Arians about the AB signing and that may not bode well for his and Brady's relationship.

It's possible. But I think they figure it out. It's only one game and AB was not the problem in that game. It was the terrible game plan on both sides of the ball.

I hear you but I also see a potential issue for the team. The number of wr that needs reps to show their value will increase if all are healthy and that could be a problem for that and one they could have avoided. Weapons, lack of it, is not their problem.
Imagine if AB gets less than 10 reps in a game or two in the future. Dude is not matured enough to handle things like that.

Wish the Pats had that problem.

Arians' credibility? Definitely maybe. Clearly confused. Amazingly awful.

Arians has won NFL Coach of the Year twice, is widely respected in the NFL. I know it's cool to bash him now when Brady isn't doing well, but it would be illogical for him to hurt his credibility and his earning potential just to crap on Brady without evidence.

Just maybe Brady didn't play as well as you would have liked. I know that sounds impossible, but maybe, just maybe....

Winning heals any problem there may be.

I never talked about Brady. Amazing how you try to twist the conversation with little emojis to look cute.

Arians said that Mike Evans was open a lot. I said I like Mike Evans and think he is potentially a top 5 receiver, but he is never open a lot against Lattimore and the Saints. If you look in the thread there is video evidence of that fact. I noted that Evans was covered well on the two endzone fades - you did not comment on that. You might think AP awards make someone a great coach - I disagree. Arians talks too much in my opinion and the more anyone opens their mouth, the more likely they are to say something stupid. I believe Arians should keep personnel player issues in the locker room or front office. That has nothing to do with Tom Brady or Mike Evans.

You might believe Arians without looking at the film. That is your choice.

Arians will get fired and blame brady for it for working with the GM and upsurping his authority

Pewtereport did a film analysis of the 14 passing plays in which Brady could have past to Evans before the game got out of hand. They found that Evans was only open once. I just wish Arians wouldn't talk so much.

Damn as soon as TB12 has a bad game all the suspectible people come out...keep that same energy when he bounces back

The formula is pretty simple for the Bucs: Protect Tom Brady.

Brady was pressured all night against the Saints. Mostly inside. And what is Brady’s kryptonite all of his career ? Let me tell you... pressure inside.

Brady is not a mobile QB he cannot go out of the pocket and has limited movement left and right. Brady needs to be able to step up in his throws. If he can step up in the pocket he will destroy you. Against the Saints, he couldn’t because the pressure always came in front of him. The saints forced him to move left and right in the pocket.

when he was younger he would take some hits, now, not so much in the regular season, which is, in my opinion, smart. I’m confident that he will take those hits in the playoff.

TommyBrady12 has definitely been around more this week than in recent weeks. Go figure...
