Re: 6 Turnovers= A poorly coached team
A poorly coached team is not in the game until the very end when they have 6 turnovers...
The Skins gave the Bucs every opportunity to put the game away early, and the Skins defense bent, but did not break. Both sides of the ball stepped up in the 2nd half and played almost perfectly. The offense moved the ball with ease, while the defense geared up and put the kibosh on the Bucs. The coaches made the necessary adjustments at halftime, and the Skins came out a totally different team.
The Bucs defense are notorious for going for the strip, and were very successful in the 1st half yesterday. Campbell's fumble was caused by a breakdown of pass protection, as he did step up when he was getting rushed from the outside...Samuels got beat worse than a red-headed stepchild on whipping day.
The Bucs also have 2 Pro Bowl Corners who make big plays when called upon. Brian Kelly and Ronde Barber made plays when they needed them most, and made them on a young Quarterback.
I think the coaching staff had the Redskins prepared for yesterday. The players did not execute early, and it came back to bite them in the end. 4 turnovers in 5 possessions is completely uncalled for. You cannot blame the coaches for player execution for one game. Over the course of a season, you can blame coaches for not having players prepared. However, the 2nd half showed that this team was prepared, they just didn't execute in the 1st half.
