The Tampa Bay Buccaneers open the NFL regular season Thursday night against the Dallas Cowboys in one of the most anticipated early matchups of the season. He will have an opportunity to bounce back next week against the Arizona Cardinals but right now it’s looking ugly.įollow all of your favorite teams at Giants Wire, Nets Wire, Rutgers Wire, Jets Wire and NorthJersey.TAMPA, Fla. He will need to scheme some elaborate pass protections for Jones because as of now DJ is on pace to be the most pressured quarterback in football.Īs for the defensive side of the ball, Wink Martindale is supposed to be known as someone who draws up complex pass rushes and unique blitzes to get after the quarterback but none of that was really seen on Sunday night. They went into the half down 26-0 and sadly Daboll seemed to make no second-half adjustments as the team came out once again with no life and let the score balloon to 40-0.Īs for the coordinators, Mike Kafka has a hard job with the offensive line he is coaching but abandoning the run early was clearly not the right decision. Six were enforced for 72 yards but if Dallas wanted to enforce every call the Giants would have had far more than 100 yards in penalties. If that was not evident by the score you could turn on the game and see all the dirty laundry on the field from all the penalties on the night. evidently did not have their team ready to play.

There were also a couple of other passes where Jones threw the ball in harm’s way which could have been picked off.īut when the offensive line is a turnstile all game it leaves the quarterback feeling desperate and wanting to do anything to bring some life to the team. While the first interception was not the quarterback’s fault the second one was a poor decision on a ball he should have thrown away.

However, Jones is not without blame as he did have two interceptions. Furthermore, Evan Neal did not get his revenge game against the Cowboys’ defensive front as Demarcus Lawrence and Micah Parsons were constantly in the backfield. John Michael Schmitz had a tough time snapping the ball in the rain causing some extra pressure for Daniel Jones. They allowed 12 quarterback hits and 7.0 sacks on the night as there was constant leakage. Unfortunately, it was blocked for a touchdown and practically nothing went right again.Įverything starts with the big boys up front, and the offensive line was simply abysmal. Big Blue’s offense started off strong with a would-be statement opening drive that ended up in a field goal attempt.
