Buccaneers vs Rams Discussion

[bucarican]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed WR Antonio Brown on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday, making it likely he will miss Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Plenty of Depth, not to worried. Plus there is a good chance he can return.

[King Bootz]

Could be significant in a number of ways. Jaydon Mickens got hurt Sunday and Brown replaced him as return man. Mickens didn't practice today either. Scotty you're up, kiddo.

It's not a very high chance that he'll play. He has to be completely asymptomatic with 2 negative tests 24 hours apart. There's a chance, but it's very slim.

This COVID reserve list is complete bullshit. Healthy young men in their 20s and 30s who are in peak physical condition are NOT going to have symptoms let alone die from this.

Do you understand how this pandemic thing works ?

It’s highly contagious

I hope that it didn’t spread to anyone else. Also does this mean he actually tested positive or does it mean he was in close contact? We know he is vaccinated so this rule is stupid AF.

More like a SCAMdemic and shutdowns and masks and COVID reserve lists are completely unnecessary.

[Noles1724]

If you're vaxxed you shouldn't have to miss any games. With a vaxx and their demographic, covid is basically nothing.

you do realize that being vaxxed doesn't mean you can't transmit right? That's one of the main things that we (the nation) are trying to curve. It makes perfect sense that AB/players should be removed from interactions with other players. It sucks, but makes sense.

Safe to say it has spread. AB is the 3rd player this week to be placed on the Covid list after Minter and a PS player. Hopefully there won't be anymore.

[Caradoc]

I just got an alert that AB went to the covid list. That’s a big loss as I was expecting a big day from him.

Damn it! I was expecting that too. In Tyler Johnson we trust I guess?

Rather see more Miller. He's been disappointingly absent.

[Buc2]

Looking around the league there doesn't seem to be a shortage of explosive offenses who can hang 30 easy. What there does seem to be a shortage of is those teams having comparable defenses.

The Rams are one of those teams.

The Rams are a match-up nightmare. Their offense and skill players hit us right on our weakest spots. This is going to be a fantastic test for this team and I'm excited to see it. I'm expecting a lot of screen passes to AB in this one. I believe Aaron Donald is truly a special player and very much in the process of dethroning LT for the greatest defender of all time. We should avoid him when at all possible.

Interesting. They said the same thing about their team vs the Bucs...that we are a match-up nightmare for the Rams.

It’s not disappointing except in a fantasy football aspect. We are scoring 30+ a game without our backup WRs. That’s a well built and deep offensive roster, not a disappointment.

Next draft needs to be corner and DL.

It's funny how often we hear "we need to draft a CB" when just a couple of years ago almost everyone here was shitting on Licht for "wasting resources on DB's"

I was reading one Rams board and it said we were a bad match up because of our RBs and the Rams aren't good against the run.

I thought that was funny.

When you’re facing paying Davis big money plus injuries you’ll hear “let’s draft a DB”. Also to be fair Licht missed big on several DBs. Hargreaves and whoever was drafted before Davis (forget his name) were complete busts.

Yep. That tells me they haven’t watched us nearly at all. Which is to be expected.

People still think LF is a good RB for some reason.

He is better than Rojo right now, so I guess that's a positive.

I remember when we were told it was just two weeks to flatten the curve...Sometime along about eighteen months ago...

The question is are they good against the fumble? Because our RBs seem to be good at the fumble this year.

Hargreaves, Smith, Evans, Stewart represent 1 1st, 2 2nds, and a 4th. You should always draft DBs.

[uscbucsfan]

With Brady, our line, and our receiving weapons...I think we can and will score against anyone. Sure, I'd love balance, but that's not expected.

I worry about a shootout that doesn't go our way. The last 2 games we've been in single score games in the 4th against bad defenses, but at some point that likely won't go our way.

Here's to hoping the defense finds it's groove.

That usually happens on the road. It's never a good thing if your defense can't travel. Maybe our defense will perform better away from Raymond James. They aren't use to loud crowds when they're on the field after all.

[Kress]

Maybe this is the game where Bernard shows up. The dump-off curbs their pass rush and becomes our pseudo running game.

Was it MJ Stewart?

Would be smart. Put him in on some 1st and 2nd downs as well. Let the defense guess if he'll be a runner or passer.

[Cheb]

Gio had six snaps last game and has only four touches on the year. While I would love it if he made something of himself, he can't seem to get off the bench.

Don't hold your breath on a breakout game, amigo.

All that says to me is we need to do more to get him involved. This would be a good week to do so IMO. It’ll help keep the Rams off balance.

Yep. The slowest corner you’ve ever seen.

Nothing would make me happier than to see the defense treat the Rams like we did the Packers during the regular season.

Reputation and narrative > reality. His reputation holds steady since LSU. Think how long Clowney has survived based on legend/narrative.

It’s the same reason why having Harbaugh ask Lamar “Do you want to go for it” matters. Of course Lamar was going to say yes, but that’s not the biggest benefit. The benefit is to build a legend/narrative that will last even during down times. I literally watched Scott Van Pelt argue that Mahommes’ interception wasn’t a stupid play. He said from any other QB that’s a bad pass, but from Mahommes that’s a good one. Narrative/Legend > Reality.

Clowney is actually a great DE just not necessarily the sack machine everyone thought he'd be.
