Donald has been even better in second season with Rams

“He just wreaks havoc”.

The Bucs close out their schedule against Chicago (5-8) at home and unbeaten Carolina (13-0) on the road _ a challenging task for a team that’s only had one two-game winning streak since 2013. He’s disruptive equally in the run game. It also lead to more conspiracy theories than a Game of Thrones forum, which was good fun. “He’s on J.J. Watt’s level”, Long said.

“I think it’s a part of our growth as a football team”. Expect plenty of points in this game, with neither defence having excelled this season, and it could be a good day to deploy Drew Brees or Matthew Stafford as your fantasy quarterback if your season is still alive – there could be plenty of touchdowns to celebrate. It will be tough for the Bucs offense to stop defensive end Robert Quinn, who had three sacks last week against the Detroit Lions. Todd Gurley accomplished all of that in his best game since Week 5.

“He was certainly disruptive – the tackles for losses and the sacks and the hurries and things”, Fisher said.

“I didn’t spend any time here after the game, which was my mistake”, Vermeil said.

Those who still show up booed Jeff Fisher during player introductions before Sunday’s victory over the Lions, showing frustration with a coach who has yet to deliver a playoff contender. “If you haven’t seen him play, and we haven’t been on the national stage, that in itself is enough to watch the game”. ABOUT THE RAMS (5-8 SU, 5-7-1 ATS, 3-10 O/U): One bright spot for St. Louis this season has been its ability to get to the opposing quarterback.

Lions coach Jim Caldwell was succinct: “Quite a bit, he was an issue”. If they allow Winston to open things up a little bit more, they won’t have much of a problem this week. If you’re looking for a deciding factor, consider this: Winston affects every aspect of the offense at quarterback while Gurley needs only to know a handful of running plays, option routes and protections.

Right tackle Rob Havenstein gets a nice block on Ziggy Ansah, and right guard Cody Wichmann and center Tim Barnes do a nice job creating a hole in the B-gap for Gurley to run through. When the Rams can get Gurley rolling, they’ve had significantly more success moving the ball this season, as opposed to when he’s bottled up.

It is the one and only scheduled primetime showcase for the Buccaneers on Thursday night as they try to cling on to their hopes of making the play-offs.

“He was just holding the ball a little longer, guys were covering down field and it was just there”, Donald said. He was an absolute stud in his rookie season, but struggled coming into this year after that. He said Sunday that has helped him take his game to another level. I can’t wait until he has a full offseason. They have a lot of momentum on their side and have been a much more consistent team throughout the majority of the season.

Donald was asked if he felt like he was the best pass rusher in the league. Austin should see some valuable time as a gadget player but I would not risk my fantasy season on him, he is a sit.
