Quote:I'm sure this has been posted in other threads but (a.) I refuse to sift through all the wreckage and (b.) it totally deserves its own thread.
On the big Rainey punt return, Bernard Pierce was blocking for the Bucs. Had a clear lane to make the tackle, but inexplicably had his back to the runner and attempted to block a Buccaneer as Rainey ran right by him. There is NO EXCUSE for this. It's simply a sloppy lack of focus that the coaching staff has permitted for too long. No one is held accountable for poor performance let alone for just pure boneheaded plays.
I don't care if he's a better backup RB than what's out there. He needs to be cut to show that this kind of nonsense will not stand.

Quote:Just gonna guess he was drunk....This would be the most likely explanation. If you had to play for the Jags, hard to blame people for having a little pre-game drink.
Quote:Yeah, there's another thread on this but... This one actually has his name in the title...I think he realized that he wasn't up to tackling the punt returner because you can see in the video that he clearly sees the runner coming toward him and only then turns his back to the returner and pushes the bucs player near him... giving the appearance that he is blocking for the returner! This was a case of someone doing something really weak to try to not look bad by blowing a tackle.
I'm gonna keep saying this until someone tells me how right I am...
He must have had a major brain injury... That's the only rational explaination... They should be having him go through the concussion protocols. If he didn't have a concussion, you just gotta cut the dude...
But man, I just don't get it... Had to be a concussion..
Quote:The only thing that would make that play better is if the Bucs player beat Pierce's block and made the tackle!
Quote:Yeah, there's another thread on this but... This one actually has his name in the title...After reconsidering this possibility, I withdraw my earlier accusation and will wait to see if indeed he had received a sever blow to his head that would possibly lead to this kind of irrational activity on the field. But barring that possibility, the dude should be shown the door. This is an embarrassment.

Quote:I'd like to know what the Bucs player was thinking. Probably "what the hell is this moron doing?"
Quote:That play reminds of something you'd see in madden. Bernard Pierce glitched.
Quote:Any possibility it was intentional? I'm not a conspiracy theorist, and I know it would be hard to accept, but I’m just asking.
He’s probably been on punt coverage since he was 12-years-old. Every team in America at every level runs what he is supposed to be doing. "Serious brain damage?” In today’s NFL if he had serious brain damage, he wouldn’t be out there.
This isn’t hard to grasp. He is supposed to maintain outside leverage on the return man. It’s clear as day - his job is (or was) to light up Rainey at the 45-yard-line. Instead he encircles a Bucs player in space. Note how quickly he pivots when he sees Rainey finding a crease (after returning it for 25 yards at that point). Why? “I can’t really explain it.” Money on Tampa, possibly?
Quote:Besides depth he provides nothing for this team
