We know Ramsey is ready...and Williams has upped his game to last year after a slow start this season. These two guys are easily HUGE KEYS to Sundays game.

I said in another thread Brady is gonna go hard at Evans and Gronk for the size mismatch in the secondary. Look at it:

Williams 5' 9"
Scott 5' 11"
Burgess 5' 11"
Rapp 6' 0"

*There's no talk of Rochelle even playing at this point and Rapp has to clear concussion protocol.

Tampa will no doubt try to hit these guys short to medium and force the Rams secondary to get them on the ground which will eat clock and help their running game.

The good thing about all the secondary is they're all physical and they hit hard...so the question will also be can Eveans and Gronk take the hits???

No doubt the focus for the Ram secondary will be to keep everything in front of them and make good tackles.

Brady is gonna pay fast to get the ball out of his hand...BUT...can the DLine along with good secondary coverage...make him hold the ball??? Phily was able to get 4 sacks on Brady.

We know it's gonna be alot different than Mondays game. Even with the OLine injuries Tampa has they'll put concerted effort into pass defense.

I really like the ballhawking skils of both Ramsey and Williams though Williams does tend to let guys get behind him sometimes.

It's gonna be interesting folks...how are you seeing this???

Tommy boy being on his backside before he even gets a chance to look for Mike Evans.
Exactly. Rams win this game with the pass rush.

The linebackers will have to aggressively cover short passes, and the secondary will have to hold up, but we need to kick Brady's ass. Just as we did to Murray and Arizona. Just as Von Miller did to Brady on the way to the Super Bowl with Denver.

Good news is that Godwin and Brown are not playing.

Travin Howard 6'1" 219 can cover too. Converted SS.

Rams secondary is not going to matter because the front four are going to knock Brady right into retirement.

I almost forgot about Howard. He'll get the first crack at Gronk for sure. We need Long and Deayon to step up against the other guys like Scotty Miller.

Travin earned a 90+ rating from PFF for Monday night's game.
Howard and Burgess were awesome.

If Morris acknowledges this and gives them the playing time over Rapp and Reeder I will hereby refrain from my campaign against him.

Yeah, I think Howard on and old Gronk is a matchup I kind of like. Also, Burgess played well last week. Really makes me wonder why the hell he wasn't getting ANY playing time prior to the injuries, even with Rapp screwing up coverage so often. I'd like to see Burgess as the starter the rest of the way.

I agree with the conclusion: “Whatever the combination [on the oline], they’ll have their hands full against Aaron Donald and Von Miller.”
Yeah and then there's Greg "no Gaines" and I've been loving the way "Infamous A-Tron" Robinson has been balling. If these 4 keep bringing their "A" game... hooo-boy. :shock: :helmet:

Popular opinion is to beat Brady with the pass rush but, correct me if I'm wrong here, I feel like he's been pretty successful in neutralizing our rushers with his quick passing game. If our corners are going to be playing 10 yards off the line of scrimmage, Brady's going to carve us up. I think the key to beating him is going to be playing their WR's tight and making Brady hold the ball longer than he likes. Gio Bernard is a threat out of the back field too, limit the cheap yards he gains on check downs.

I think that Cards win was Robinson's best game yet in horns. He led the defense in tackles. The guy is fucking balling. So is Gaines. So is Floyd and Miller. And then you got AD.

The way this DL is playing the Bucs OL are about to get tested.

And I agree! Ashawn was making plays all over the place and we need to show the man some love. I have always liked Micheal Brockers but Ashawn has filled his spot nicely.
