My game assessment against the Bucs.
All three phases of the game was outstanding,
ST, Hekker hit all of his three punts inside the 20 with Gay hitting all of his XP and FG.
The coverage didn't make no mistakes, the only mistake on ST was a holding call.
Next the O.
Lets start in the trences. Our OL is top notch this year, they only gave up one sack 2 TFL and 4 QB Hits, Kept Staff clean today, and opened up holds at the end of the game for the run game to kill the clock.
That first scoring drive was 95yds down the field, kept TB O off the field and weared down the Defense, and then the next drive was that 75 yd bomb to DJax.
Staff missed DJax on the first bomb, under threw it. and then the second attempt, he couldnt follow through with his throw, because the rush broke through, so it was short too.
But the third time is a charm.
I haven't rewatched the game yet, I like doing so to key on the OL, but just could see, Staff not getting touched most of the game... I knew they did great, especial up the middle against NT Vea and Suh. Allen is holding his own, what a big suprise... especial for those who wanted to draft a Center this past draft, and I was one of them.
We had 63 total offensive plays, 38 pass attempts with 24 runs pretty balance
Top stats:
Staff: Att/38, CMP/27, CMP%/71%, YD/343, 4/TD, 1/sack, 0/INT, Passer RT/134.0
Kupp: 12/Targets, 9/Rec, 96yds, 2/TD
DJax: 5/Targetes, 3/Rec 120yds 1/TD
Now for our Defense
Run defense showed up, only giving up 35yds and Brady had 14 of those yds.
Ok the passing stats doesnt look great for our defensive backs, but a lot of those number is because of the style our defense were playing, bend but don't break. and most of those were garbage yds at the end of the game.
Our DL played great,
AD just being AD.. 1/sack, 1/TFL, 1/QBhit, 1PD, 1/FF
ILB/Young played outstanding today, 8/T 2/A 10/T 1/sack, 3/TFL, 1/QBhit
OLB/Lewis putting that hit on Gronk, Ouch!!!
Now for those that say we didnt play anyone our first two games,
Just to let everyone know, those two teams were playoff teams and TB were SB champs last season, and we just made them look small.
This was a team win in all three phases of the game.
Just to add, this game brought out all of the Stars of other sport teams and movies stars.
