TB Game - one complaint

I loved the win. Loved the Reggie TD. Loved the way the team didn't give up when behind.

My one complaint is about Blitzing, or more specifically the lack of it. Both this week and last we refrained from blitzing. This is allowing opposing QBs to much time in the pocket. Yes we're dropping more people into coverage, but it's not helping. We've got some smart, fairly fast LBs and we're not using them to pressure the QB into mistakes. A rookie QB put 220 yards on us, Delhomme (last week) sat in the pocket with confidence. Two sacks in the last two games is not something to be proud of.

I'm not trying to dis the whole D. I'm just want Gibbs to show more agressiveness and Blitz a bit more.

Tampa also picked up most of our blitzes. I was thinking the same thing, but their o line did a pretty good job.

In addition to the need for more pressure, we need to get some more freaking turnovers. (One usually leads to the other.) We need more picks. The coverage is usually tight, but we're gonna need to grab some Ints against these good teams on our schedule.
