There is one guy buggin: Cap'n

[saX man]

Captain Munnerlyn

He was getting picked on a ton today and was a big reason the Bucs stayed in the game.  I'm not saying that he is awful but he is not that fast anymore and still undersized.  

We need some corn.

Can't throw on Bradberry, he's good in coverage. Shouldn't throw at Jackson, he's a star in the making. Throwing at Reid or Adams is just feeding the interception machine. All three linebackers can play in coverage on tight ends and are capable of popping an interception at a moment's notice.

Fast slot receiver working the slant pattern is the hardest play to cover one on one. Fitzgerald*** (Fitzpatrick -- oops) is a Harvard-educated QB with a good arm and tons of experience. Adam Humphries is an excellent slot receiver with an average of 10.6 ypc. Munnerlyn is going to be hit hard and often in the passing game, particularly when the Bucs are playing behind. Our nickle was going to get blasted today, whoever it was. Munnerlyn stayed in there and made tackles (4 tackles, 4 assists). I'm not sure a rookie DB doesn't get completely washed out as they keep picking on him.

Munnerlyn wasn't bad, but Humphries was excellent and Fitzgerald has made him one of his favorite targets. Makes for a tough day staring down the barrel.

I would like to see what Corn has. Remember, DJ and Curtis would not have had this opportunity with a healthy Torrey Smith.

Or just about everyone on the o-line for the past 3 years without injuries

We need both. RR needs to embrace the dime package. Especially against NO. They will find the LB/S and abuse him with Kamara. Put a quicker player on him and make Brees throw it away. 

  This could logically be a good game to try. The Steelers usually don’t involve their 3/4wrs much. If either one can’t cover Ryan Switzer, we got problems. 

  I’m more interested in Gaulden? Why can’t he contribute at nickel. Or anywhere. He’s another option to neutralize Kamara.

Unfortunately that's Rons MO.  New players will not get a chance unless there's  an injury. Sad.

Yup, one major thing that kills us fans is when we see the younger player making a tip to himself interception at full speed you would have to think whew he's got some juice let's get him a little playing time to see if his game translates. And then each week from Julio to AJ to the Eagles or the dam Bucs teams have third down success and chain moving plays directly on our slot cb not saying Elder will shut these guys down but we see where we've been attacked each week it's time to see if we have an upgrade at nickel, the one thing that may be harder then we consider is team chemistry Ron could throw that off with a change being that we are winning the d is probably content idk just an alternative to why Captn has no competition and minimal production.

Lol the sad truth.

I saw Corn one time. Munnerlyn time is ticking, Corn is a 2nd year player he's not a rookie anymore so he should get more snaps

Mick Mixon made the same mistake on the radio. Don't apologize. 

The slot corner is the middle manager of the defense, they will catch poo from all directions just so someone has somewhere to dump it. When you can't get around Bradberry and you have Luke coaching up Jackson before each drive, there is only one place you can go. Munnerlyn is likely an average slot corner with tons of experience which helps out in situations where the offense may be able to trick a younger guy.

Big Ben comes to mind.
