Excellent point but my counter to that would be Tampa had designed plays & quick releases yet OUR corners never adjusted to play press at the line. Rez could probably explain further but you gotta believe that would knock off timing on the QB. I saw no adjustments from Latt/Crawley or Dennis Allen.

I take nothing away from the Bucs. That was a terrific offensive game plan starting with their QB. Fitz balled.

I hadn't seen that number yet, but it sure did appear he was getting it out quick. That's almost impossible to defend, but requires pinpoint accuracy. Fitz was on fire all day. I told a Bucs fan in New Orleans for the game that I was more concerned about Fitz than Winston. He agreed saying he is either crap or all-pro and you never know which you are going to get until the game starts.

I think you have highlighted the right area.

On that Thomas fumble, did you notice who made the tackle on Ryan Smith? Max Unger. He ran 20 yards down field to make the tackle. He didn't know it was going to be a fumble when he took off running, but he followed the play like they teach you to do in Pop Warner. That coulda been a huge return.

That's the kind of hustle that separates winners from losers. He's a great example for the younger guys.

Love Unger, the guy never loses sight of the overall situation. That’s what you want a team made out of.
