Question is : How will he utilize him against the Bucs?

Gruden was in Metarie earlier this summer ... use some of the concepts he implemented/suggested. Screens, playaction on 1st down (see Detroit game last night), get the football out early. No need to stand back there with this terrible oline and get your QB destroyed & take more sacks.

It's a copy cat league. Do what the Lions did last night. Philly vs Bucs or MIA (Tua has taken only 1 sack so far) vs Denver.

Change it up, get more creative on offense. With the WR/TE & RB room, there is absolutely no reason why we shouldn't be scoring UNDER 24 ppg.

Help out your defense. They are good enough but you can't expect them to be on the field all game (7 punts vs Pack) long.

Coaching matters. Even at this level.

At this point, I’d sign old man Jason Peters.

I believe he signed somewhere a few weeks back.

Unfortunately, I think that's still much better than our scores this year. :roll:

Probably so. I think Penning will improve. McCoy and Ram will level out. My biggest concern are the Guard positions.
