Louis Murphy vs Tampa bay DEF

[Ivan The Awesome]

I remember people taking up Naanee this time last season. Lets hold our horses people.

Naanee was trash during preseason as well...didn't change in the regular season.

Murphy was good in preseason. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

LOL @ Barber playing any Safety.

What's he gonna do come up and get stiff armed again?

They have Barron for that. They hope a crafty Barber can sniff out some passing routes. Actually not a bad move if it works. Barber will be the smartest defensive player to take the field on Sunday....a S role has potential

No one really knows how good they are or for that matter how good we are until the game begins.90% of the NFL is pretty good.

I agree, the NFL changes from year to year. We don't know how good or bad Tampa will be this year.

Problem is that he gets steamrolled in the running game. At 36 he is slow, old, and should have been retired years ago. He is a definite liability we are going to exploit this Sunday.

Well, there logic likely is stopping the run shouldnt come down to your FS.

Tampa S have actually looked decent in preseaon. Gave Tom Brady some issues....

Barber doesn't need the same ability to play S as CB

[carolina-chuck]

Murphy is better than Lafail.

It's Talib on 89, Wright on Lafell, Barron probably on Olsen.

What if Wright is on Murphy instead of Lafell? Can Lafell still beat the 3rd cb??? He couldn't barely last year.

[rayzor]

Your right, I forgot about that. And they picked up Eric Wright that was on DET last year. I just read an article and it said they will use 3 safeties and 3 corners with Barber playing at the LOS and covering the slot as needed.

Well that throws my theory out the window, kind of.

i hope they do run with 6 DBs. we'll kill them.

newton, wiliams, stewart (if he plays), tolbert......lol talk about turning your defense into a doormat.

i love it.

Really, then where did his 600+ yards come from last season as starter for only half the season?

You're obviously just not a fan of LaFell.

Except that we can run right at their weak corners and attack the edge like we always do vs Tampa...

Tom Brady doesn't have 3 starting caliber RBs either.

Yea let's just sit back and pass into their quick dime defense....won't happen.

[Jai.]

Are yall forgetting about Tolbert?

Spread them out and run it down their throats. Please, for the love of all things bring a S down in the box.

More LB's? We pass.

More DB's? We run.

Yep, the days of John Fox offense are well behind us.

You mean the two games against the bucs were he was our leading receiver in both?

You should just go shoot yourself in the foot instead of posting it would be less painful for all party's involved.
