Comments on: Adrian Clayborn out for the season with knee injury http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/09/24/adrian-clayborn-out-for-the-season-with-knee-injury/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Tue, 18 Jun 2013 23:31:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: voyager6 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/09/24/adrian-clayborn-out-for-the-season-with-knee-injury/#comment-2018295 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 00:31:10 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1315102#comment-2018295 As I have stated before, there is bad blood between the Bucs and Bengal’s front offices. So watch for a pilfering from Cincinnati’s practice squad (DeQuin Evans).

HOWEVER, this defense has played tremendously well in 2 out of 3 games and in the Giants game they created turnovers, so they certainly have a chance. Also it was Sapp that said just give us 17 points. Against the Cowboys if the idiot refs had not blown the play dead on the Cowboys fumble the Bucs would have had their 17 points without the offense (and has nothing to do with replacement refs since I’ve seen regular refs blow that call dozen of times).

Anyways there is a lot of hope, which is great to have and more than I expected from Schiano. Now if we’d just run a modern NFL offense we might be able to actually do some damage.

So last year’s 1st and 2nd round DEs are out (Clayborn definitely for the season, Bowers might come back), and, of the prior year’s 1st and 2nd round DT picks, Brian Price is gone, and Gerald McCoy . . . well, not to be pessimistic, but, considering his history, he’s not hurt yet.

What was supposed to be a real team strength this year is not looking quite so strong. Clayborn was phenomenal late last year, and, while he wasn’t getting sacks this year so far, he was still being very disruptive, getting in the backfield, and getting some hits. The guy has shown real promise, and the d-line has been the strength of that team the first three games. Whoever they plug in to replace him won’t be even vaguely as impactful as he’s been.

I hope Schiano can get an adequate replacement worked in soon. The Bucs defense was awesome Sunday! If you combine them with the inept offense the 2012 Bucs looked like the 1999 Bucs. In 1999 all the defense asked the offense to do was put up 17 points and they would win the game. Guess what , 17 points would have won the game Sunday. Go Bucs!

This has been a very strange, and crazy beginning of the year for most teams in the NFL. Players are dropping like flies all over the place. Both teams need a win, and this one should be interesting.

Bennett has had 3 sacks in 3 games and has been playing lights out. Bowers is supposed to be ahead of schedule on his recovery, so there is a bit of hope.
