Goaldeje Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 That's probably why Portis is not a QB. I thought it was a brilliant call, to set the defense back some, make them think some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Chaos47 Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I loved the call early in the game. At that point I was thinking that Joe was really going to open things up. I guess the lead really made him decide to go conservative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel22 Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Yea - if that ball is thrown earlier and more toward the sideline it was 6 no doubt. Although I like the aggressive nature of the call, I would like to see us consistently have success running the sweep (3 or 4 times) before we try to throw out of it. That is why it worked better in the NYG game. The giants D had seen the sweep a lot and were quick to react and come up on it when they saw the same look -- this left Cooley all by himself. Make them respect the run more before you run a trick play off it. I wouldn't count on coach totally scrapping that play for the rest of the playoffs either.....it is a good play against attacking secondaries.

NOVA2Tampa Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Even though it was incomplete, it still made the Bucs stop and think a bit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betsy thurman Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 great call, in defense of Portis, he was throwing off balance --- now how about a little more of this play calling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idaho fan Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I thought it was a great call by Gibbs - Very close to a TD. Would have been nice to have seen an offensive TD play of more than 5 yards. But we won... Lets hope they have a little sumtin sumtin for Seattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pourdanesh Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I also like the fake WR screen that came back to Cooley ... it had alot of potential (before the ... you know, quick tackle and fumble) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashburnskinsfan Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 The blocking didn't quite last long enough and Portis wasn't balanced as he threw it, other wise it would have been a TD. Good call though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDSKINS STOMP Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Moss had the opportunities for big plays in this game, just didn't get him the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louie 14 Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Do you remember the Arizona game, offense played awful. Next 2 weeks it exploded. I have a hunch it will happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meetST Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 CP should practice more with Moss this week...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurent Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I think he called it that early to keep the defense honest. The Bucs front seven is very quick and by throwing in some misdirection early he wanted to give the defensive players something to think about so that they would slow down a bit. On top of that it was the right play at the right time. Portis had his receiver open in the endzone but underthrew it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santanamoss89 Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 That was a great call. If Portis would have made a better throw it would have been a TD. But Portis a RB, I dont expect him to make perfect throws. He didnt throw an interception, so its fine with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpfan Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 It wasnt a bad throw by Portis, the DB made a pretty good play. We gotta tive Tampa credit, they played very well on defense. As well as we did, but without the big plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
