Raheem Morris may feel stats are for losers, but defensive line coach Todd Wash does not feel so. Wash took tape of every one on one battle a Buccaneer lineman found himself in during the first three weeks of the season; and lost, and showed it to them.
Apparently it was too much to handle; DE Kyle Moore looks to get benched next week vs Cincinnati as his production fails in comparison to his back up Tim Crowder. Moore has 0 sacks and 9 tackles as a starter. Crowder on the other hand has 2 sacks and 10 tackles, as the backup! We can also expect to see more Brian Price who is becoming a good all around player at the NT position; good against stopping the run and rushing the passer, as opposed to just stopping the run like DT Ryan Sims. The Bucs will be facing a ton of passing teams coming up soon, starting with Cincinnati, followed by New Orleans twice, San Francisco, and even the Rams and Lions have become big passing teams. THE BIG PICKERS- or the big picture, however you want to look at it, is that the Bucs are very good in one category; picking the ball off! Talib and Barber both have two, with E.J. Biggers and Quincy Black getting the other two for a total of 6. That is TOPS in the NFL right now.
