All year ive been bitching about OC running from under center and passing out of shotgun. I was calling the plays out based on how they lined up all night long.

It was obvious the Bucs had the snap count and were actually moving before the OL was, just craziness.

We had good thing going with Marshall and then just went away from it totally. Not like they ever stopped it, we just went away from it. We freakin stop ourselves.

running stretch plays with the slowest RB on the team, just crazy.

I hear you.

Far from being an expert, the play calling is out of whack based on what I do observe. Abandoning things that are going well is a way to mix things up, however, you don't abandon something that the other team is not handling well just to mix them up and confuse them. This is not fruitful at all, and it seems to happen all too often. The play book also seems to be quite thin. This may be due in part to our O-line and blocking schemes....I don't know or have an answer. Good thing I'm not on the payroll. Maybe Sherman shouldn't be either?

Marshall was a bright light on a night when it was really stormy for the rest of the team. He ran good routes and showed his ability to catch. Simply, the guy's number was called and he made plays. Well done.

Daniel Thomas has shown me nothing of consequence during the past couple of years. I was in his camp when he was drafted but now realize he's not very nimble or powerful. He is stopped way too easily IMO.

he goes down with a pinkie tackle.

I said end of last year Marshall would be a beast. Glad he is getting a chance.

What about Wallace? He drops easy balls. He doesn't fight for a catch when he should. His blocks are, at best, half-hearted. Hate to say it, but I wish we would have held on to Brandon Marshall.

I loved Marshall, dont think he was near the cancer we were led to believe.

I seem to remember Brandon Marshall dropping LOTS of passes while on our team. I mean three in one game, that were catchable. But I seem to be the only one to remember this.

Wallace drops passes but tannehill overthrows him....there was a pass where wallace cut left inside where the ball was there almost before wallace made the cut....clearly overthrown ball.......wallace reached for it and it hit him in the fingertips . that was uncatchable.


Tannehill needs to do a better job of throwing....but with that said the Oline stinks so its a domino effect.

LOL yeah he made my life miserable with all those drops..........including some in the endzone.

He was a drop machine while he was here and im glad he is gone. Also im glad he is gone so he can take all those tantrums and 15 yard penalties to another team.

I guess we are just jinxed. When they play here they stink. They go to another team and play like stars.

Jinxed it is.

the problem for marshall and now Wallace is they play for fossils at OC.

henning and Sherman coach to systems. they don't coach to the talent on the team.

we should have 6-10 designed plays to try to get the ball in wallace's hands every game.

instead, he has certain routes within the system that he runs and much like marshall, turns into a very expensive decoy.

IMO, the system is the problem, and not necessarily the players. Philbin and Sherman have a plan, and stick to it no matter what; there's no flexibility to adapt to the strengths of the players or the weaknesses of the opponent. Sparano did something similar... When Ricky Williams was on a hot streak, he'd be replaced with Ronnie Brown and vice versa. Like Philbin's system, Sparano's planned snapcount was more important than what was actually happening on the field.

Sparano had one time success surprising the Patriots with the Wildcat! Wildcat! Wildcat! (I couldn't resist) and kept trying it regardless of the fact that the rest of the NFL "got hip to it" (pardon the anachronism) and that's why he alternated Ricky and Ronnie.

I agree also, players not used to their talents. makes me sick actually.
