Rucker inactive today

[magnus]

ankle. Wallace gets the start.

 

[finleye]

do you know all the inactives, or just what Jaworski said?

Does Haye get activated?

 

[magnus]

Haye does get time today.
Morgan starts, only key player sitting is Gaines.

I guess Wallace gets the start for Rucker? Not a big drop off there.

apparently we're a different defense without Ruck

 

[Black&Blue]

a lot of Williams' money was off of his side. I like Al, but I didn't see him making much of an impact today.

Rucker plays the run well. Wallace lost contain several times today. He also doesnt get the pressure Rucker does. I didnt think it would be that different without him, though I knew his loss would hurt. BUt yeah, I guess it is.

Looking at the plays, I think Williams' big runs were all on the linebackers, not Al Wallace. And as for pressure, Tampa used max protect a lot and did so effectively.

Hard to gauge how much we missed Rucker. The whole team played like crap today. I guess it was the old emotional let down after the big win against Atlanta.

I think both TDs were over Spoon. Williams dragged for about 5 yards once.

I watched Spoon most of the second half. He looked pretty ordinary to me. I know he makes great plays, but I'm not sure he plays above average in between those.

Wallace has never impressed me when he starts. He seems better in spot play.
