Bucs defensive lineman Kevin Carter needs to have a monster game for the Bucs to burn Atlanta Sunday.

The Professor, better known as BSPN’s John Clayton, took a brief look at the Bucs-Dixie Chicks game this week.

Monday night was a wake-up call for the Bucs’ defense. Though Tampa Bay’s defense has been solid all season, the Panthers overpowered the Bucs with 299 rushing yards in a 38-23 pounding. Big, powerful, no-nonsense offensive lines can take advantage of the light Tampa Bay defensive line.

Joe is more than a little concerned about this game. The Bucs D-line is banged up, and Tampa Bay is traveling after a short week, and we all know that no NFC South team has won a division game on the road.
