NFL Fantasy: You need Jacquizz Rodgers!
The Bucs had two-time Pro Bowl running back Doug Martin and Charles Sims, a third-round draft pick, and both were healthy at the time. Jacquizz Rodgers led in rushing with 101 yards in 30 attempts.
For the second game in a row, he reset his career high in yards, grinding out 154 on 26 carries in the Bucs’ 34-17 win over the 49ers Sunday. The defensive front continually provides gaps for opposing rushers, resulting in a 100-yard rusher for the sixth straight game. “No matter who goes back there, we treat those guys the same”.
“I love this scheme”, safety Eric Reid said. Brent Grimes is Tampa Bay’s best cover corner and he should get plenty of opportunities to cover Smith.
“That we’re going to continue to fight”, Kelly said.
What was most impressive, though, was the fact that they remained committed to the run despite being down 14-0 in the first quarter. “Once again, it was a situation where early in the game we got into a rhythm and we lost that”. Our defense did a great job of holding right there, that could’ve been even uglier.
This is, in no way, shape or form, one of the “best teams in the National Football League”. On the first drive alone, he had an NFL-record 10 carries.

“We just didn’t feel like throwing the ball in from there, that we were going to score anything, so we had to come away with something else at that standpoint”, Kelly said.
“Those two guys, they’re getting double-teamed and they’re still wreaking havoc down there”, said Koetter. That was awesome. Man, that was awesome for him.
“I think Gerald gets a bad rap sometimes, people don’t appreciate what he brings to the table”.
“I’ve seen teams go 1-7, and turn around and go 7-1 on the back end”, wide receiver Jeremy Kerley offered. Who can blame him? Latavius Murray anchors the Raiders rushing attack with 231 yards and 5 touchdowns and Amari Cooper is the leading receiver with 40 catches and a touchdown and Michael Crabtree has 39 catches and 6 touchdowns.
Last week was an overall failure for the first act of the Kaepernick experiment.
RUSHING OFFENSE: A – The Bucs did what you do to the league’s worst rushing defense. “The 49ers have been giving up a lot of yards rushing”.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have struggled to find a healthy running back all season.
San Francisco has a bye next week, and that can help with some of the injuries on defense, of course. “It’s insane, because I was going from getting cut to special teams to now being a starter”. Rookie placekicker Roberto Aguayo misfired on a 50-yard field goal try but made two others and all four of his extra point tries.
