Facing a second-and-6 on their opening drive, the Bucs handed the ball off to Peyton Hillis for an off-tackle run to the left side of his line. The Patriots were in a 3-4 alignment with Marcus Forston at the nose tackle spot, head-up on the center. At the snap, Forston was jarred back and failed to anchor in his base, got washed back and then laterally down the line. Forston has showed up as an interior rusher during one-on-one drills (and he had a nice tackle for loss last night, too), but in order to cement his status as the third defensive tackle, he needs to consistently hold up in the running game. That means being able to anchor at the line of scrimmage and give his linebackers room to run and hit behind him.
