Raheem Morris talks about playing Carolina for the last several years, trying to use us to get their team focused......

Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Raheem Morris began his team meeting Wednesday by telling his players that the Carolina Panthers have been more physical in their games since 2003.

Then he showed the team video clips of the Panthers offense dominating the Bucs' defense over the past six years. The Bucs are only 3-9 against the Panthers during that stretch, despite winning two NFC South titles in the process.

“Today in the team meeting, we really stressed physical play,'' Morris said. "I put in the tape of Carolina, them playing us on defense. I started from ’03. In ’02, if you guys remember, we had a real battle up there. This is the great part about being here for seven years before you become the head coach. In ’02, we had a big-time battle at their place. We had a bunch of big stops and they were trying to run the ball, run the clock out. We kept stopping them and we’d get a field goal. We kept stopping them and then (Martin) Gramatica (kicked a field goal). We walked out of that game and we all felt like that was kind of the push to the Super Bowl. That was like the changing of the guard. That was like us coming into our own on defense. We stopped the Carolina Panthers running the ball. I think it was Stephen Davis.

Since then, ’03 we got them sometimes, they got us. But for the most part, to be honest with you, they’ve been more physical than us. Even the games we’ve won, we’ve come out of those games and felt like we lost. We felt like they outplayed us physically. That’s what I told my team this morning. I showed it to them. From ’03, ’04, to ’05, to ’07, to ’08. I had a couple of clips in there of them running the ball on us physical. More physical than us. I let it sit in for awhile. I let it sit in for the defense. I told our offense, “You got your butts kicked, too.’ I just chose not to show that. I just wanted to show part of it.

“And it wasn’t about Carolina, but that’s a credit to Carolina and what coach John Fox is doing up there. It was more about physical play. And that’s where I left it.''

      So the Coker pass

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      I’ve rewatched it a few times. Impressive.   Rolls out about 5-6 steps, flicks his wrist, all arm, never even set his feet. Flick… All the way across the field from the 47 to the 24… perfect spiral… and dropped it in the bucket for Sanders. That had to of been 40 yards in the air? He looked so natural doing it.  All teams have that play in their book, but when run, it’s so ugly. Complete duck. Uncomfortable.  This guy is a weapon. There aren’t many non-QBs in the league make that throw and make it look so natural. He looked completely comfortable. I hope they draw up more plays for him like that.

      Biggest Decision on offense this offseason…….

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The information about knee pain is significant, and if true and depending on the extent, I have changed my approach to the Moton issue.  First, his performance has not dropped off but Moton has never been elite--he has been solid and dependable--maybe our best player over the past 5 years.  However, extending a big man with knee issues is VERY risky--the question is not "if" it is "when."  The "Left Tackle is more important that Right Tackle" argument is not valid any more.  Watt, Bosa, Crosby, etc. prefer rushing from the RT side--Bosa had this to say about rushing when he is not on the blind side:  "“When it’s right there, you don’t really even have to completely get off your block . You can kind of just reach over and knock it out sometimes.”  Getting a hand on the ball and stripping it is easier than getting off a block and tackling the QB, so the most destructive pass rushers in the NFL play defensive left tackle. Having said that, Moton is incredibly important, but extending him may seem risky--HOWEVER--most big men who have played OL in the NFL for a decade have knee soreness---I have not seen a major problem in his history: Week 17, 2024: Moton missed the Panthers' loss to Tampa Bay due to a knee issue. He didn't practice during the week and was considered doubtful for the game. Week 2, 2024: Moton experienced knee sorenes 2019: Moton had a questionable knee injury.  Is Brady Christensen good enough to start at RT in the NFL?  If not, I think the solution is to extend Moton with less guaranteed money and add a young RT through the draft or free agency.  Cade Mays' performance means that C is not something we MUST address, so a depth, developmental RT is smart.  Furthermore, we still have Nijman on the roster, and he played RT for Moton during the Tampa Bay game--he was not good, however. If you do not have a LT, RT, and a swing T who can hold his own in the NFL, your roster is not complete.

      Did Bryce Young have any tipped balls at the LOS??

      By CPF4LIFE · Posted

      I Never harped on the batted balls as much as his other concerns. The thing is qbs who can drive a ball with velocity tend throw it at a lower trajectory anyway so that leads to more bats. Bryce passes are more loft oriented so they have a high arc when leaving his hands. Those are just harder to bat.
