Quarterbacks: JP Losman helped bring us back to reality. He made us realize that he is still pretty much a rookie and will struggle at times. Losman was 12/28 for 113 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions. However, most of that was during garbage time, when the Bucs were in prevent mode. He also ran the ball 4 times for 13 yards, including one play where he scrambled backwards in the end zone and threw the ball away just after stepping out of bounds. The play resulted in a safety. A relentless Tampa Bay pass rush constantly harassed Losman. This pressure caused Losman to hurry his throws and led to some pretty terrible throws. He couldn’t get in sync with any of his receivers. Losman was benched towards the end of the game to help settle him down. Kelly Holcomb didn’t fare any better. He was 2/3 for –1 yard. JP Losman did return on the next series and took the team downfield, but the offense fell flat once they reached the red zone. Overall it was a pretty bad day for our rookie quarterback. Let’s hope that he learned some things and it will help him grow. Grade: F
Running Backs: Willis McGahee couldn’t get anything going either. He struggled to find any holes and couldn’t get outside like he likes to. McGahee ran the ball 13 times for 34 yards. Willis did a lot of dancing around behind the line of scrimmage and didn’t come close to breaking one. His longest run was for 14 yards. Instead of hitting the little holes that were there, McGahee kept trying to bounce outside and you really can’t do that against the Tampa Bay defense. Also, we still have yet to see that burst that we all thought we would. Let’s hope he shows it soon, because this offensive line isn’t going to give him many holes to run through. Shaud Williams was used sparingly and didn’t run the ball at all. He did have 3 catches for 22 yards though. Daimon Shelton didn’t touch the ball all day and didn’t help open up any holes either. Overall it was not good. On a day when JP Losman and the defense desperately needed the backs to help move the chains and chew the clock, they failed.
