Panthers-Bucs running thread - 9.24.06

Good way of putting it. We did manage to come up with something when we had to have it, which was good.

I loved the 4th down draw call. Assuming it was a call. If not, good read by Jake. I really think he needs to run more. It seems to help him emotionally. Maybe he doesnt feel trapped back there if he runs every now and then.

 

It was improv...Keyshawn made the play a first down with this "basketball like" blocking skills...no other receiver was run blocking.

 

No blocking. They were running out for passes. Even if it was designed, you want to sell that its a pass.

They may have mentioned to look for an opportunity to run. If they had guys blitzing, for example, there would have been no where to run.

 

yep. He'll be able to go by next year, or maybe this year if we really require him. Really has earned some nickel, at least, and nice to see him in on the 3-3.

 

yes, the look certainly made it seem like it was a designed run. Don't see why it wouldn't be, empty set and all.

 

I missed the play. Was that the only one he was in on.

I thought Diggs being back really helped us.

 

Panthers should give Cox a game ball for not increasing his INT total on that second-down sideline gift with under a minute left.:notworthy

I'm just glad TB is more cursed than we are. Panthers tried every way they could to give this game away....

 

he's only credited for one tackle, and I don't remember seeing him again after. Other than later-game nickel, I don't remember him playing around the big boys other than this alignment too, but he may have played some nickel. I also saw us blitz Seward outside on one play.

 

Last time I remember Diggs he was flailing away at Caddie who ran through him, turning a 2 yard play into a 7-8 yarder.

 

he wasn't great, but he got the base stuff done and allowed us to move Draft to where he's better. I'll take it.
