Defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau is not one to show much emotion.

So it is difficult to imagine him walking around Steelers' headquarters this week with a smile as wide as James Harrison's mean streak.

Tampa Bay can only imagine the plans he has in store for second-year Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman on Sunday at Raymond James Stadium.

I hope they can put the heat on Freeman like they did young. We are going to need our defense to step up again this week as well.

I think the zone blitz will be able to confuse freeman.

I almost feel sorry for Freeman. He's going to start Sunday's game at the tender age of 22 and wake up on Monday morning feeling like he's 82. :heh:

Sucks to be him.

Probably not appropriate to call this a trap game, but with the Bucs seemingly playing well, our current offense and the recent history of playing to our competition, I'm as concerned about this one as any of the first two...or four even. Hope our D keeps playing at this absolutely spectacular level.

^for real. We're not expecting to be productive on offense and it's all gonna come down to our D. This isn't going to be a cake walk.

Our Defense should dominate this game like the previous two... But with the current state of our offense this could be another very close game. We need to score a damn offensive touchdown in regulation...

The D will keep us in the game.

But as long as our Offense continues to be offensive, this will be another close game. This won't be an easy game in the slightest.

Are we forgetting that with Dixon in our offensive package was very limited. If Batch starts we will see an improvement. I was behind Dixon but I think he was hamstrung by BA out of fear. Batch knows the playbook as well as Ben, maybe better. I think our offense will score points this week and so will our defense. I'm not saying we go in and blowout the Bucs but I say we win a close one.
