Day After Thoughts

I saw that somewhere else, but dont recall seeing Austin on the play. He certainly was not in the replay pictures they showed on TV. Where was he?

Broaddus posted a pic from the all 22 which is not available to us yet.

Austin was in front of ogletree and went through the endzone to the other side.

Omg.

Now the defense was only good because the bucs offense is bad?

That is what norm said yesterday also.

People have gone crazy with their dislike of Garrett.

Yeah I'm not totally buying the defense was only good because Tampa was so bad. I think our secondary's tight coverage certainly had something to do with their offense looking bad, and we played really good run defense other than a couple of plays.

I'm not hating Garrett now, but I am getting PO'd. I just cant believe anyone in their right mind could watch what we all saw yesterday and come out afterwards and say they are comfortable with the OL. I know it might not be his way to bash his players to the media and all, but for crying out loud. Thats two dreadful performances in two weeks, and yesterdays was one of the worst I have ever seen.

Richie Whitt just posted a breaking news tweet saying Jason witten is not healthy.

I dont see how he can be. I think he must be in so much pain and worried so much about getting hit in the wrong spot again that he just cant concentrate. He's never had bad hands before.

Thats why they should just sit him for awhile until he is healthy. We need him 100% for the stretch run.

I keep reading where people say Matt Johnson has "missed too much" to contribute this year. Anyone care to explain to me why he couldn't be caught up over the course of the next 14 weeks? He's already on the roster, correct? How does the rest of the team contribute week 1 after being given a significantly shorter amount of time to do their jobs?

What am I missing? Is he still injured? Wasn't he ready for the 4th preseason game?

Yes he is still injured, and now has some sort of back issue to go with his hamstring issue. I guess Garrett said today he might be ready in another couple weeks.

I think the issue with not doing much this yr is because he simply hasnt practiced or done anything, virtually all year. He missed basically all the OTA's and mini camp. He missed virtually all of training camp and notched only a few series in one preseason game. You can watch all the film and read all the playbooks you want, but nothing replaces actually being on the field.

I hope he can come back and contribute, but I think its far fetched for this year.

I wanted to add something I forgot about and I am Suprised no one brought up yet.

Those first two offsides on us should have been false starts on Tampa. The center was lifting His ass up then stopping and then snapping the ball.

They finally called it towards the end of the first qtr, but it continued all game. Our sideline was screaming about it all game.
