Adam Duerson of Sports Illustrated says Steve Smith and Jake DelHomme will be no match for the Bucs secondary

Sports Illustrated’s Adam Duerson cranked out a roughly 2,000 word preview of the Bucs-Carolina game, which kicks off on Monday Night.

He likes the Bucs to win 20-10. If you want to read a short novel, check out the breakdown.

Joe will leave you with this excerpt:

Steve Smith has single-handedly slain plenty of opponents, but it won’t happen to these Buccaneers.

It’s the same old story in Carolina: No one to complement Steve Smith. Muhsin Muhammad has been a model of inconsistency. The Panthers’ third- and fourth-leading pass catchers play tight end. Fifth on the list is DeAngelo Williams, who’s a running back. Somewhere down there, at a mere eight catches, is Dwayne Jarrett, who we can safely call a disaster at this point. So basically Carolina’s offense is The Steve Smith and Jake Delhomme Show. Nothing new.
