I think we have a good matchup this Thursday. I watch Tampa every week because my buddy is a fan. So let's break it down shall we?
First, Jameis Winston is the absolute real deal. The guy makes every throw and can run when he wants too. When you think you have him sacked, or pressured enough to make a mistake, he makes a big play. He looks like a an infant playing QB. Because everything he does is like he just got his body. Bad mechanics, but still gets it done. Don't underestimate him. Definitely in the running for ROY.
Second, Dougy "fresh" Martin is back. He is a stud this year. Breaks tackles, low center of gravity and has the speed to take it to the house. Look out for back up RB Charles Sims too. He's one of the fastest guys in the NFL. And shifty as hell. Both guys can make your defense frustrated.
Third, Mike Evans and the rest of the receiving core are big and fast guys who can take the top off the defense. Evans has had a case of the dropsies this year and leads the league in drops. He had 6 in one game which was a franchise record for them. But he's still an elite receiver and makes up for it with catching game winning touchdowns. Vincent Jackson(WHO ELSE WANTED HIM IN FA THAT YEAR? DAMMIT) is still as good as ever. Makes every catch and is hard to bring down. Austin Seferian Jenkins will be in his second game back from injury. He's a very reliable redzone target. It's hard to tell these guys apart on the field. They have such a similar build and playing style.
Fourth, their defense is why they're only 6-7. Really. It's been that bad. They can stop the run pretty well but I still think Gurley can have a good game. But their pass defense might make our passing game look elite. Verner is overrated and the rest of the secondary is banged up. If we can't make something happen against them there is no hope.
All in all, I think we are the better team. But they're a perfect example of what a good to great QB can do for a team. It's going to be a good game. Go Rams.
