At the snap, both White and David take off for the quarterback. White looks awful. The last time this happened, Bowles was in his second year as a defensive coordinator under Bruce Arians in Arizona. We got an awful lot of picks back there already. In particular, Todd Bowles brings an aggressive and adaptable scheme that should improve the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense drastically. I think the secondary played better because they had 32 in there instead of 35. Minnesota was 9-of-20 combined on third- and fourth down. How did they do it? Hidden by the Bucs’ 26-14 victory was Todd Bowles’ defense getting gutted and gashed in various ways yesterday. The defense had a true up and down day — big highs and big lows. He does that to everyone. Looks like our defense stood tall on 3rd down conversions Joe. Letting a team convert on fourth down 4 TIMES is unacceptable, at least from a playoff caliber defense. LB/edge rusher Anthony Nelson had a career high 36 snaps, which represented 46 percent of the Bucs’ defensive snaps. back to Dean, with his size and speed he should be dominating put he’s a clone of SMB and is passive.

Both David (No. Sunday’s blitzing diversity was highly effective and there were enough sound snaps from the back-7 in pass coverage, a reason some of those sacks happened.

Todd Robert Bowles was born on November 18, 1963, somewhere in Elizabeth, New Jersey, USA. I’m not sure why it continues because that’s not White’s strength, although he seems to be practicing to get better. To their credit, they seem to rise up when they need to. Force confusion with different defensive front concepts. Not great, but not gross either. JDean would’ve gotten toasted had he been available. Watching Minnesota’s kicking woes combined with referee calls (multiple) going the Bucs way was eerily familiar to recent years at the den of depression…nice change. The right-side blitz look was a ruse, as safety Antoine Winfield Jr. and linebacker Lavonte David dropped into coverage, and cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting blitzed from the other side. So what can we expect from this new defense? I’m of the opinion that Anthony Nelson needs to put on 30 or 40 pounds and tries to be the next Will Gholston, a DE instead of OLB. We need to get creative and keep Mike Edwards in and also Cockrell because SMB often seems lost, out of position, confused, and miss tackles or just flat out a poor tackler. His unit might face their greatest challenge yet Sunday, when they host Aaron Rodgers and the undefeated Green Bay Packers. So, it shouldn’t be that much of a surprise that in an NFL that is seeing scoring and passing efficiency like never before, Bowles is the guy who’s put the league’s one consistently dominant defense on the field. Derrick Brooks he ain’t, for sure. @AlteredEgo: The D misses Vea. White had an off game. Who fired them up? That is on our DC. All you amtures finally seeing what I told you some time ago.

In the end, Pierre-Paul, Suh, and right end Shaquil Barrett rushed. That’s accurate. Hopefully we won’t see Freddie Kitchens. Bowles had Shaq Barrett rushing inside a little and the line rotation was real. Probably but that is more due to their skin tone – allowing teams to qualify under the Ronney Rule – than their coaching ability. This has Rodgers moving to his right with uncertain reads, and all Suh has to do is roll off the protection, and go pick up the prize. He was the other edge on the board. Under Bowles, a defense that had been in total disarray was playing with discipline, confidence, and bravado. That move by O’Conner to get that sack was amazing and came at a great time. Bowles wasn’t able to get it done with a team that seemed to be in the middle of endless rebuilds and salary cap bleeds, but he’s always been a great defensive coach, and Arians had no doubt about that.
