Bucs Key Players:
Ronde Barber, CB: Barber is a wiley veteran who still has plenty of gas in the tank. He’ll likely be matched up with Santana Moss all game long. Expect Santana to be limited.
LeGarrette Blount, RB: Blount is a rookie who has played extremely well for Tampa Bay. He’s taken touches away from veteran running back Cadillac Williams and looks to have supplanted him long term. Blount is a hard runner who gets downhill. Exactly the type of runner the Redskins defense struggles with.
Josh Freeman, QB: Freeman has thrown 16 touchdowns and just 6 interceptions. His yard numbers aren’t ridiculous, but he’s carrying an 86.4 rating into the game. Only averaging 6.7 yards per attempt, but he doesn’t make many mistakes. Quality young quarterback.
Gerald McCoy, DT: McCoy has 3 sacks and 2 forced fumbles. He was an early pick for Tampa Bay and while he’s not putting put Suh-like numbers, he’s playing solid football. Will demand respect inside versus our weak interior.
Barrett Ruud, LB: Ruud is a guy that Raheem Morris seems high on. Makes good reads and gets to the football. He’s got a forced fumble a pick and a sack to go along with his high tackle numbers. Underrated linebacker.
Mike Williams, WR: Williams and receiver Aurelious Benn are both rookies and help to form a young nucleus on the offense with Blount and Freeman. Williams has put up extremely solid numbers and is a major threat inside the red zone.
Kellen Winslow, TE: Winslow is a reliable tight end for Freeman to find. He can make plays given the opportunity. Definitely used as a safety net.

Analysis:
Tampa Bay is an intriguing team. Their turnover ratio being +9 is in large part due to quarterback Josh Freeman and his ability to limit mistakes. Our turnover ratio falling to 0 is in large part due to our defense’s inabilities to force turnovers at this point in the year and our offense’s inability to hold onto the football. This is a major concern going into this game with Tampa. If we continue with our struggles with getting or holding the football, Tampa Bay will have a very good shot at winning this football game.
Tampa is in the thick of the playoff race, although they are trailing two extremely good football teams in Atlanta and New Orleans and probably won’t make the playoffs this year, they have a very good foundation to build off of. As a whole, their roster is extremely young. They have just three players born in the 70’s (CB Ronde Barber, DE Stylez White {who is their sack leader} and TE John Gilmore). They have 46 players born in 1984 or later. Forty-six. They are VERY young.
The injury that put Aqib Talib on injured reserve is a major blow to the team. He’s their interception leader. McNabb needs to find a way to get the ball to Anthony Armstrong early and often. I believe Moss is going to be matched up with Barber for a good portion of the game, and while Barber isn’t a shut down corner at this point in his career he can capitalize on mistakes.
Chris Cooley and Fred Davis need to play major roles in our gameplan this week. I believe we can get the ball to them in the middle of the field and towards the flats. But that’s one issue McNabb had last week. Several times we had receivers running wide open in the flats and they weren’t targeted and instead a poor pass was thrown into double coverage. He needs to hit the check downs this week.
Our running game is going to most likely have to be a mix of off tackle runs combined with misdirection. I’m not sold on our ability to go up the middle with a gap stuffer like McCoy in there. Whether it’s Davis, Torain or Williams we will need to find a way to get a running game going. Davis may fit best for the off tackle stuff. If Torain is healthy, I like our chances of running up the gut a bit more. His powerful style aids in that aspect. That said, our leading rusher is still Ryan Torain with just 391 yards. We need to find a rushing attack.
Defensively, Mike Williams is going to give us problems. I’m imagining DeAngelo Hall will be matched up with him, but Williams height is an issue and Freeman doesn’t have any kind of tendency to force the ball into a receiver. Aurelious Benn, who isn’t putting up the numbers Williams is, and Sammie Strougther could have a field day against our number two corner if Rogers doesn’t play. If we play off coverage like we have been, the Bucs passing game is going to be difficult to stop.
But, they may not need to pass the football. Their offensive line isn’t the greatest, but the brute power of Blount attacking our weak rush defense is going to be a major problem. We must stop the run and force them to throw the football. It’s a necessity. Cadillac Williams is no slouch at all, either, and Earnest Graham who is their starting fullback can run the ball effectively as well. Cadillac is also one of their top three leading receivers, so look for the Bucs to try to get him involved in the offensive game plan.
The best way for us to win this game is ball control. The Bucs are not a lot better than us. They do however have a much more cohesive team, and they are using their pieces very well. Stop the run and force them to pass defensively, be effective running the football offensively are the keys to this game. If we can do both, we can win this game. If not, expect a close game in which Tampa has the advantage.
