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 think you have highlighted the right area.
