Fuller would be the 3rd - 5th look in most cases. Truth be told, Stafford doesn't have time back there to get to those reads on most snaps.
The Bears were playing a lot of zone last week so that makes it a bit easier to find the open space or complete ones route. I Think we'll see alotnof that again this week again so we should see more open receivers and another Stafford on point.
I don't watch Tampa games like some folks do. But they run the Tampa Two down there again, right?
Im just guessing, but short, underneath stuff and swing passes to Bell and Theo should be a focus for Lombardi.
It was only Dalton, but the Bucs had three picks in the first last week, I believe.
Ou would be surprised how many folks on here are hardcore bucs fans that catch every game.

Really good read on Fuller. Ones own perception will be used a lot while reading it. Some will think Stafford is still forcing towards Tate and CJ, or misreading the coverage at times.
I saw it as my thoughts on all receiving options not named Tate and CJ. Targets will be hard to come by for 3rd, 4th and 5th options.
Either way you see it. Fuller is proving to get open and get separation which has been stated that other receivers were not getting. Was it a anomaly for one game? Only data given, so we shall see going forward.
Agreed he is 3rd -5th.
My Lombardi brain is telling me that he needs to game plan him in more. Just like Riddick. Fuller is doing his job against whoever it be a nickel CB or LB or S. Design a few plays where he is the hot read instead the guy clearing out. We surely know Tate and CJ are drawing coverage for that.
As I said in opening post. With the Bears game only film broke down for this article, it could be a anomaly?
I know Stafford has had less time than normal and the OL is horrid. Game plan to slow down the rush. He is getting more time than some state. I saw him hit or attempt over 5 passes of 20-30 range. He is getting time. That was also after running plays to slow the rush down.
If he's getting open, and he's the 3rd or 4th option on most pass plays, chances are he won't get many looks. It's up to the coaches, and Stafford, to make him the 1st or 2nd option on a few more plays. He's still a bit green, but I like what I see for the most part.
