Analysis TB Preseason Game

[Joelist]

First team defense looked pretty good when it was in. First team offense likewise looked sharp, but I did wonder why no Zack Moss. Yoshi looked good too.

Second team defense left a lot to be desired. And I don't care if they are backups a certain minimum level of competence should be expected. I know we did not have Jackson and Rankins was only in one series. Jenkins had a rough start but got a bit better as the night went on. The big problem on backup defense was blown coverages (as usual) and wrong angles on run plays. It's like if they don't have Bell and Stone out there the defense's brains just gush out of their ears.

Backup offense was weird. Under Browning they looked terrible and part of that was Browning himself. His accuracy was off and he STILL takes too long to read the field and decide. Notice the night and day offensive showings with Browning and Woodside with basically the same or worse personnel. The biggest difference? Woodside was decisive out there and kept the offense running at a higher tempo.

Also the coaches did not do the offense any favors with the overly simplified and unbalanced (both run-pass and shotgun-under center were WAY out of whack) playcalling.
