I wouldn't put it past Marvin to tell the guys just not to get hurt over making a play. The defense certainly looked like it was playing careful and not trying to make dangerous tackles.
Offense doesn't have an excuse, but TB has a top5 defensive line. McCoy was embarrassed last week and had something to prove. I think we are reading wayyyy too far into this.
I think they are playing not to get injured. They were burned by an injury early last year and were kind of ruined by injuries for the rest of the year.
But they didn't even look like they were interested in playing.
There were several players that didn't make a single positive play all game. I know you don't want to show your hand in the pre-season, but don't send your fan base into depression over it.
