Some have asked about defensive tackle Vince Wilfork’s play in recent weeks, as his position usually requires a closer look to get a better feel for what is happening in the trenches. Last week, he was surprisingly single blocked at times by Jets guard Vladimir Ducasse. Against the Buccaneers, he seemed to be more disruptive. For example, it was Wilfork who drew the holding penalty on center Jeremy Zuttah at the start of the fourth quarter, which turned out to be a drive stopper after Tampa Bay had generated some positive momentum on the march. We’ve seen Wilfork dominate games inside, and while that wasn’t the case on Sunday, he was disruptive at times inside.

One way to measure if an on-field rapport between a quarterback and receiver is improving is results in “got-to-have-it” situations. Along those lines, it stood out that of receiver Aaron Dobson’s seven catches, four went for first downs (two on third down, one on fourth down) and Dobson also produced another first down by drawing a 28-yard pass interference penalty. On one of the third-down catches (11:48 remaining, second quarter), the Buccaneers were in zone coverage and cornerback Darrelle Revis passed Dobson off. That’s the type of play that makes one wonder if the Buccaneers are maximizing Revis’ elite skill set.
