Two things just popped into my head about the Bucs game this weekend.
First, I hope that the Bucs keep Josh Freeman under center for most of the game. The Steelers rely heavily on disguising their blitzes and their coverage and confusing opposing quarterbacks. When a QB is in the gun, they have to take their eyes off of the receivers and the coverage for a split second so they can catch the snap. Its at that point when the Steelers' secondary guys can roll their coverages and wait for Freeman to throw the ball right to them. If he is under center however, he gets to see the whole field the whole time while he is dropping back in the pocket. It also allows him to run more rollout and bootleg plays.
My second thought is it would be great if the Bucs came out for the second half going no huddle on offense. Get those big guys on the Steelers' D down here in that heat and they will melt. And by waiting to spring it on them after half time you don't give them any time to make adjustments. It will also prevent the Steelers from doing a lot of substitutions between plays in order to try and match up with our personnel. We could just run a bunch of quick passes, maybe even screens. Stuff that will make those guys have to run around 7 or 8 or 9 plays in a row.
If done correctly a no huddle attack will make those guys wilt in the fourth quarter and we are definitely going to need all the help and advantages we can get.
