I'd certainly hope so.
Bucs could face mismatch in Matt Forte - NFC South Blog - ESPN
Apparently, the Bucs suck at defending runs to the right. The sample size here is very small. The Bucs run defense overall has been excellent. I wouldn't read much into these stats.

Impressive considering that he isn't on injured reserve. He's on PUP. He could come back, but it's not like Christian Yount has done poorly so far.

Maybe this will help even more:

The Bears actually seem to have a little more sucess running left.

I havent attended a game so I have no place saying anything about playing in the uk
Its just b/s they call this a home game
by Carlitin1988 on Oct 20, 2011 11:11 AM EDT via mobile reply actions
It does feel like a home game for the home team, though
They do a very good job in the stadium of creating that atmosphere
No way man
Its a neutral game, theres no 100 ft pirate ship and its not in tampa.

Have you ever been in the stadium?
I have. Trust me, it feels like a home game for the home team because of the way they package everything and get the crowd into it.
I still dont believe it
Call it what you may, but,it is not a home game, never has been, never will be….

YAC stat is usually skewed by a couple of huge plays.
Just like YPC, etc. I chalk this up to a couple of blown coverages, or man to man getting beat with no over the top help as I do poor tackling. This will even itself out over the course of a season. Missed tackles will be a much more accurate measurement of tackling.

How about one of Garcon's TD's
when Ronde was blocked in the back…
I would love to see the % of incorrect calls by officials against the Bucs as compared to the other 31 programs in the NFL.

I think the officials this year are pretty decent, overall.
I haven’t watched any Bucs games so I can’t say how they’ve been to you guys. I’m a Bears fan who wandered over to see what’s going on here in advance of our game and to see what opinions there are of Clayborn (I’m an Iowa fan too). There have certainly been some terrible calls, the phantom hold on our trick play punt return springs to mind from our first 6 games, but mostly they’ve been decent in our games.
"No I'm not going to 'limber up'. You ever see a lion stretching before it takes down a gazelle?"
That call was horrifying.
You guys got hosed on that one.

Pat Yastinkas is flat out wrong.
I already researched the runs and our left side(when the opposing offense runs right) is one of the strongest in the league. I posted the numbers in the comment section of the article and posted a more thorough breakdown of the numbers of each game on JoeBucsFan. Yastinkas is the worst sports journalist in the World.
I agree with you
Plus when you go on his blogs and make comments you get attacked by saints and falcons fans. I mean they are rude and belligerent. Scum of the earth…..

I am actually all for Blount not playing.
Let him sit for one more week, than he has this week and next week to rest of up for the Saints, where we will need his 1-2 punch with EG. I have 100% confidence in our offense without Blount, regardless if EG gets 100 yards or not (which I dont think he will)
As far as Stocker, G-Mac, Mase and Bennett coming back, I am THRILLED
