Stephen White breaks down Bucs' loss against the Giants

Stephen White tweeted out his notes on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' loss to the New York Giants today. Insightful as always, you can find the Storify below. I also rounded up a few of the key takeaways for those of you who really hate Storify.

Key takeaways:

• The defense mostly played well, except for the fact that they kept shooting themselves in the foot with stupid penalties.
• Threatening the double A-gap blitz hurts the Bucs' linebackers in zone coverage.
• Defensive linemen need to stop jumping offside.
• Howard Jones is progressing well even on the plays where he's not making a splash.
• The running game was awful, in part because Ali Marpet was injured early on, though Evan Smith played okay.
• Donovan Smith was good early against Jason Pierre-Paul, but eventually gave up pressure when his footwork broke down again. Smith would be "having a pretty outstanding rookie season" if it wasn't for those few plays where he "seems like he gets lulled to sleep."
• Jameis Winston played well, though he locked on to Evans a little too much, not that he had many other options.
