TB allows Gaines to play to his strength as a 1T NT in a one gap attacking style front. Morris kept insisting that Gaines two gap. On that 3rd and one on the Bengals final series it was Gaines who hit the RB first and stopped him short and AD finished him off by not allowing him to fight for that yard. Did Morris learn from that? No that's why Gaines didn't return and won't return as long as Morris is DC. Why do you think Wagner went back to Seattle? Why do you think Ramsey wanted out? Why do you think Miller turned down the same money from the Rams as he got in Buffalo? It's not a coincidence. LA is no longer a place where defensive stars want to come to. We get reclamation projects like Witherspoon and waiver wire claims like Shelley. I'm glad we have them but they aren't Ramsey level DBs.
If Gaines plays for TB the way he played in LA they will give him a nice extension. I'm happy for Gaines and sad for our loss. Turner isn't a NT, he's undersized. Kobie is a one gap 3T who should be rotating with AD to keep Donald fresh. Henderson knows that but won't butt heads with Morris. But does our DC see that? Nope, he has him listed as a NT. He certainly isn't a two gap NT. This is exactly the problem where Morris refuses to play to a player's strengths.
McVay and Snead are hoping for Morris to become comp picks. But if he doesn't get a sniff next year they have to let him go.
