I would not use that at a litmus test, pulling is the easiest thing a guard can do with pass blocking being the most difficult block. You literally take your first step right (in Peats case) and run into the side of a defender that’s looking at the QB or RB or anything but you.

Pete lost 15lbs in the off season and while he might be quicker he doesn’t have the weight he needs, it’s also hard to drop 15 in an off-season with out losing any strength.

Michael Thomas looks like he's getting back to speed, even if the Bears secondary was banged up, yet still not getting Sanders the ball downfield...

Playing this weekend against a weakened opponent in the playoffs may have been just what the Doc ordered for a team that's had it's share of chokes in recent playoff years...

Yeah, I get that and accepted it, but I was talking about this week's game, which kicks off even later than yesterday's game.

Routine schedule is not a bad thing when you get into the playoffs...

This is crazy to me. Teams actually game planning for CJGJ’s trash talk.

He’s like the football Dennis Rodman. He’s The Worm of the Gridiron.

And the Bucs are WAAAAAY better than the Bears. If we play like that in the first half of the Bucs game, we're toast. Brady will roast us.

That said, nothing makes me happier than seeing Brady get mad when he gets hit. Lol. Defensive line better bring it next weekend.

You do know that the Bears beat the Bucs this year right?

I hope Easton is back next week. Ruiz was a weak link.

He's on IR. Couldn't comeback until Superbowl at the earliest

Doesn't look that way from where I'm standing... but it's all in jest.

I don’t even really want to know what kind of stuff he says because from what I understand it’s so overboard and nothing is off-limits.

Hurst took over for Ruiz; Hurst's capable, but he's not going to man-up and blow good DTs off the line; maybe because he just came into the game, but Hurst whiffed on exchange that allowed Taysom strip, fumble...
