Will Bucs Cut Carpenter, Crompton?

Written by Josh Hill | August 31, 2011 | Comments Off | NFL, The Pewter Plank (Bucs)

Rudy Carpenter has an anxious wait ahead of him to see whether or not he'll be wearing Buccaneer colors this year TAMPA — It’s a question that has plagued the Buccaneers for so many years and it still exists in 2011 as we prepare to enter the season. The question may be the same, but the mood and the tone of it is less dire and not as complex. The question is what will the Buccaneers do with the quarterback position. Normally in the past this was in reference to who would be the starter. Brain Greise? Jeff Garcia? Brad Johnson? Shaun [...]

Chargers predicted in Super Bowl vs Falcons

Written by Paul Maland | August 31, 2011 | Comments Off | Bolt Beat (Chargers)

Peter King, from Sports Illustrated has selected the San Diego Chargers to be his AFC Champion team and take on the Atlanta Falcons in the Super Bowl. He predicts a 20-24 loss for the Chargers, making the Falcons the NFL champs. To be dead honest, these were the two teams I would have selected too. Both have very high octane offenses and solid defenses. The only difference is that the Chargers statistically have the best defense in the league right now coming off the 2010 season. Could he be right? King also predicted last year before the season that the [...]

Offensive Breakdown: Dolphins-Bucs

Written by Joey Rodriguez | August 31, 2011 | Comments Off | NFL, The Pewter Plank (Bucs)

Tight End, Nathan Overbay, gets the TD pass that wins the game I think we all can agree that the main concern going into the Dolphins game was the offensive line.  The Buccaneers were slaughtered in the trenches against the Patriots in their last game.  Slaughtered may not even be a strong enough word to describe what occurred.  Freeman was unable to get any rhythm with his receivers because he had no time to look downfield and throw.  As Patrik had mentioned, many of the O-line’s struggles stem from having a new system in place.  The Buccaneers got rid of [...]

Pac-12 Countdown: South #4 UCLA

Written by Shiloh Winder | August 31, 2011 | Comments Off | The 110 Report (LA)

  “UCLA sucks.” That’s the first thing you learn when you walk on campus at USC. And when you’re talking about football (and people at USC usually are) that’s generally true. UCLA is coming off a 4-8 season and on the verge of firing their third football coach in 10 years. In spite of being the largest school in the best recruiting pool this side of Texas, and playing in America’s most iconic stadium, the Bruins are an extremely mediocre 50-50 over the last seven years. In 2008, Rick Neuheisel returned to his Alma Mater to work the same magic [...]
