Stephen White tweeted out his notes on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' loss to the New York Giants today. Insightful as always, you can find the Storify below. I also rounded up a few of the key takeaways for those of you who really hate Storify.
Key takeaways:
- The defense mostly played well, except for the fact that they kept shooting themselves in the foot with stupid penalties.
- Threatening the double A-gap blitz hurts the Bucs' linebackers in zone coverage.
- Defensive linemen need to stop jumping offside.
- Donovan Smith was good early against Jason Pierre-Paul, but eventually gave up pressure when his footwork broke down again.
