Notable Defensive Players: Suh, JPP, Barrett, Winfield, Davis, Dean
+ Tom is a statue, so we need to generate pressure through the middle otherwise he has weapons and can hit them in the mid-ranges, similar to Oakland last night. He's infinitely smarter than Carr, but probably less talented than the version of Carr we saw last night - or at least on par.
+ TB's receiving talent is right up there with the best in the league. For some reason Evans/Brady have been slightly off, and we'll have to hope that continues. Gronk is a shell of himself, but still a large target that might be difficult for, say, HB, to defend if the ball is placed in the right location.
+ TB's secondary is young, talented and smart, but prone to youthful mistakes. We should be able to confuse them as the game goes on.
+ TB's run game can be nasty, and we need to shut them down early. Rojo is no joke. [Reply]

Steelers players 38 hot right now. Can’t say I blame you’ll, just know we all have to adjust to get through this season so that in the end we can continue to provide for our families!

I guess I’m basically advocating for a 3-3-5. Something like:
Clark/Wharton or KPass/Jones
Gay/Hitchens/Niemann
Ward/Breeland
Matthieu (slot)/Sorenson (box)/Thornhill (deep)
You can roll into cover 2 or cover 1 or even cover 0 from that formation and do some unpredictable things. It wouldn’t be an absolute liability against the run, and if it is a definite passing down you can swap Hitchens for Fenton.
Just trying to think of a creative way to beef up the rush.
I’m kind of surprised we haven’t seen it already, with the talk of Gay playing a Buc-style role. But maybe Spagnuolo is squatting on it for a big game? [Reply]

Bucs have a lot of talent on both sides of the ball. A lot of young players though. Looking over their schedule so far, they've shown a lot of potential, but also a lot of bad discipline.
Their OL finished the 2019 season as one of the better units, and started this season doing pretty well. But they've been a little porous the last two games. I don't know why, but that might be something the Chiefs can exploit.
Their run game isn't much to worry about.
Their receivers are big and physical, but not as fast as the LoZ.
Brady hasn't improved much over last season. In particular he's still having issues with throws outside the numbers downfield. And he doesn't really have anyone to throw to between the hashes, which is where he lives. He misses Edelman a lot more than he's missed Gronk.
He's scared of the pass rush. So much so that he's actually throwing the ball away if he feels pressure early in a game.
The field position battle might be a bigger factor than most realize. Tom Brady hasn't scored a TD on a drive longer than about 60 yards in a while. In fact, he's had a turnover or settled for a FG more often than he's scored a TD on drives starting behind the 35 yard line this season. He can still be efficient on short yardage drives, but for whatever reason he's one of the worst QBs this season if he has to go farther than 65 yards. If that factoid holds up, it could get ugly for the Bucs pretty fast.

It's not relevant to the Chiefs v Bucs whatsoever. Mahomo is just a fucking idiot. He had his thread starting privs taken and now he just drops random ass tweets in the first thread he comes across. [Reply]

Thanks. So, in other words, it has nothing to do with this game. Thought so, but...there was a Snead reference in the original post... [Reply]
