While I like the LB competion, it is a bit unsettling that we're still bringing 'em in.

Ijalana hurt himself again this year, so nah we shouldn't be interested. He was impressive against us last year when he was at tackle though. I'd keep tabs on him for next year if we need to improve upon the depth.
Jeff Otah has been cut. I think we should give him a call in the latter part of the year. That way he can get healthier, and he can replace Trueblood too.

Is it a serious injury? Could we sign him and IR him?

I think its another ACL tear. So pretty serious. I say wait till he gets more health then start contract negotiations. Personally, I rather have Otah over Ijalana. Man, get Jeff Otah healthy and you have a line of
Penn-Nicks-Zuttah-Joseph-Otah
Dominant running game? More like historical if we can get Otah healthy and he plays like a top 5 RT he were before. |

Despite his poor season, Freeman continued to excel under pressure (7th best in the league per Football Outsiders). What actually hurt him was how he fared when he wasn't under pressure. Whether you attribute that to trying to do too much when we needed a score or just flat out poor decision making, there is reason to believe that these issues are correctable.

| Quote: | Like beating press coverage is for young receivers, beating pressure is a tried and true indicator of the career trajectory for young quarterbacks. The table clearly separates the ones who seem to "get it" from those that don't (at least not yet). Joining old standbys Brady, Roethlisberger, and Drew Brees in the top 10 of DVOA under pressure are neophytes Stafford, Josh Freeman, Cam Newton, and Andy Dalton. At 20th or worse, there's the aforementioned Sanchez, along with Sam Bradford, Christian Ponder, Blaine Gabbert, and John Skelton. I suppose you can give Ponder and Gabbert a pass because of their high DVOA-difference rankings, but those are simply byproducts of being the only two qualifying quarterbacks with a below-average DVOA without pressure.
Freeman's performance in particular, despite a down year overall, should give Buccaneers fans some optimism for the future, especially in the face of left tackle Donald Penn's injury. It gives us a clue that 2011 was Freeman's fluke, not 2010. That's because he ranked first in DVOA with pressure two years ago; third on hurried throws, while facing pressure on 34.7 percent of pass plays no less. What killed him last season was falling from eighth to 29th in DVOA without pressure, but that seems eminently more fixable than if he had all-of-a-sudden displayed the shell shock of David Carr. Also, contrast Freeman's stats with Bradford's, which were similar both in 2011 and his "good" rookie year in 2010 (20th in DVOA with pressure, 25th on hurried throws). In that context, it's no wonder we're more bullish on Freeman than Bradford going forward. |

From watching the practice clips to the few hours the we were on NFL Network the other morning I love what I am seeing from our offense. Push, push, and more pushing the ball down the field. Lot of deep balls going up this year. I expect our line to dominate early in games. Teams will have to put an extra guy in the box and when they do BOOM deep ball! I can't wait until our game on Friday!
