Game Day Thread Preseason Game 2: Bucs @ Titans

Matt Cassell is a 100x better than Woodside. Woodside is one of the worst QB’s I’ve ever seen stick on an NFL team. He literally brings nothing to the table.

 

He must give high quality head.

 

Matt Cassell won 11 games as a full time starter for the Patriots.

 

I know it's preseason, but I can't believe we're even talking about Woodside and Willis in the same conversation after tonight. The "game manager" comments about Logan sound like anything but a good excuse not to try someone else as #2. And what has Willis shown, but a willingness to make good, snap decisions already? Of course his stats aren't going to look great. But the "vet" comments are just hard to believe about Woodside, as I stopped watching immediately because he looked scared. Willis didn't. Tannehill should also be worried.

 

Warren Moon, Steve McNair - this fan base doesn’t care about skin tone, it cares about wins. Willis is what most 3rd round QBs are - raw with some intriguing trait. However, most never become starters.

 

We don’t have an adequate back-up QB and haven’t since Mariotta/Tannehill. The best thing for the team is for management to wake up and get a decent number two and let Willis redshirt for at least two seasons and learn the pro game. Against real NFL starters, Willis would struggle even more. Let’s develop the talent and not discourage the player by putting him in too soon. At the end of the day though, neither Willis nor Woodside look capable of stepping in against 1st stringers for any sustained playing time.

 

It’s also painfully obvious that the plug-a-bum philosophy on the OL is going to be painful to watch and will hurt the team this year. Very disappointed we didn’t do better in addressing this obvious issue.

 

Couldn’t agree more. I would love to see us bring in a couple veteran OL this week to solidify things and cut bums like Roos, Delaurio and Levin who got blown up all night last night by third stringers.

 

I absolutely believe that Willis couldn’t lead us to a win if anything happened to RT. Woodside gives us a better chance to win now. Obviously, Malik has far better upside and is the backup of the future, but he made so many bone headed plays last night that would have been even more costly against starting defenses. Woodside has been behind the 3rd string OL and throwing to scrubs all preseason. Makes him look worse than he is IMO.

 

My observations

Radunz played like trash…Little Brother will start unless we make a trade….just sucks that we spent a 1st, 2nd and 3rd rounder on OT and still need help

Farley played well…he was aggressive and physical

Lonnie Johnson and Kalu both flashed as did our backup LBers

the defense is going to be nasty and has depth

Stonehouse was the holder on the fgs last night and did just fine…their is no doubt that he has the stronger leg but Kerns accuracy is better…too bad we can’t keep 2 punters active on game day…Stonehouse as the flip the field guy and Kern as the pin them deep guy…
