Teh-oh-NEH-sime Is “Relentless”
September 5th, 2013
Daniel Te’o-Nesheim is starting at left defensive end. It’s official, so Joe figured he’d right a wrong that is constantly perpetuated on this guy.
From Greg Schiano on down in the Bucs organization, nobody seems to care much about pronouncing Te’o-Nesheim’s name properly. C’mon, Coach. Details. Know your players’ names. If this doesn’t stop, Joe’s going to call him Daniel Dangerfield.
Now Joe’s really not ripping Schiano, who doesn’t correct those who constantly mispronounce his own name. (It’s Schiano like “piano.”) For some reason, No. 50 is just a guy with a name that scares people.
All together now, “Teh-oh-NEH-sime” is the way it’s pronounced.
That’s two lower case “e” sounds followed by a silent “e.”
Another reason to know Te’o-Nesheim’s name is because he’s got a very key role. Schiano explained today that Te’o-Nesheim is “relentless,” along with being “technically very sound, strong,” with a “low center of gravity.”
It seems Da’Quan Bowers has quite a bit of work to do to unseat Mr. Teh-oh-NEH-sime.

I was so excited when Bowers fell to us. I ‘ve been waiting for the day he’d be healthy and would start opposite AC… three yrs in and it hasn’t happened yet. Fail.
I know he could still start but he should’ve be the day 1 starter. Hopefully this lights a fire under this guy…

I hope he shines this year.

Relentness is a great quality….my neighbor’s dog has it…but it is a Snorky…..little bitty thing that tries real hard to be tough.
I’m looking for “effective”, “successful”, “sackalicious”….as better words to describe our DL….but I’ll take relentness over slack. I suspect Bowers has been slack & Schiano is making him pay the price.
I won’t be a bit suprised to see something special out of Bowers before all is said and done….I jus hope it is with the Bucs.

I’ve liked this dude since last season. Sing with me people…
I throw my hands up in the air sometimes,
Saying Teh-Oh! Gotta let go!
I wanna celebrate and live my life,
Saying Teh-Oh! Baby, let’s go!
September 5th, 2013 at 6:45 pm
I came to move, move, move, move
Get out the way of me and my crew, crew, crew, crew
I’m in the club so I’m gonna do, do, do, do
Just what the f**k, came here to do, do, do, do
September 5th, 2013 at 6:46 pm
After reading about TBBF’s neighbors dog, I think we should nickname Daniel “Bulldog” Te’o-Nesheim. lol

@Buc1987
I’ll sing it with you all night long if he can get to the QB on sunday afternoon
September 5th, 2013 at 7:02 pm
I like this guy. Might not be the most gifted but he plays angry. If Bowers play half as hard , he’ll rip heads off. i’m more concerned in LB pass coverage than our Dline but having the most dysfunctional team as our first opponent is truly a blessing for the Bucs.. This is exactly what they need to see what our starters looks like. Can’t wait for Sunday!

Can bowers play Lb?
September 5th, 2013 at 7:17 pm
He is also undersized and gets manhandled more than he dishes enuf of the hype … face it, this team is incredibly thin at most every position
September 5th, 2013 at 7:20 pm
Teo GRINDS and keeps GRINDING!
So glad we kept him around!!!!
Now to see how Scott delivers in the REAL games! 🙂
…oh, keep at it Bowers!
September 5th, 2013 at 7:24 pm
So this is what we let Bennett walk away for?
September 5th, 2013 at 7:55 pm
Yes Jonny 2.3 it is. Prior to the 2012 season how many sacks did you think Bennett was going to have Jonny 2.3? I’m serious when I say this. If I were to walk up to Buc fans last September and ask them. Hey how many sacks do you think Bennett is going to have this season seeing how he was in the NFL since 2009? Most Buc fans would have said Michael who? The point is trust in Schiano, Schiano created those 9 sacks that Bennett got, not Bennett. It’s time to find a new Bennett and Schiano will find him. Trust in it.
Bennett was signed as an unrestricted free agent by the Seattle Seahawks on March 14, 2013.On March 24, 2013, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Bennett has a torn rotator cuff.
September 5th, 2013 at 7:59 pm
” face it, this team is incredibly thin at most every position”=
Woe is me the poor Buc fan. Whatever are we going to do? I think I will just pout about it until Sunday. Boo hoo hoo and hoo.

September 5th, 2013 at 8:06 pm
Buc1987 I have no idea what your response was supposed to be about, but it certainly doesn’t fit. In the preseason it’s all hype, when the season begins reality sets in. Review last year’s games and you will see that #50 is manhandled most of the time. He is undersized plain and simple. No boo hoo here. A realist. Is that what you are doing … boo hoo hoo??
September 5th, 2013 at 8:09 pm
@Jonny 2.3
Something to ponder,
It took Bennett all season to get 9 sacks to Daniel’s 5, playing just part time.
With that in mind, one can only assume, if Daniel is given even close to the same amount time that Bennett had, he should have at least the same, or even more sacks than what Bennett did, presuming Daniel stays healthy.
September 5th, 2013 at 8:10 pm
Joe, not arguing with you, but on first glance, I’d use your guide, but with an sHime, instead sime. I’m assuming that is the way he says it.
Fritz, dude, Joe asked him how to pronounce it and Joe taped it for the sake of this post. It’s sime –Joe
September 5th, 2013 at 8:15 pm
How bout it Buc1987, I mean “incredibly thin at EVERY position”? Really? Can we try any harder to be pessimistic? I’m starting to think some of these fans will start popping xanax if the Bucs come out blazing and show that they’re a legit contender, this assumption that they’re so bad is starting to sound like wishful thinking, snap outta it Buc fans!
September 5th, 2013 at 8:17 pm
This guy needs a nick name asap…ideas please! Love this kid.
September 5th, 2013 at 8:17 pm
@Richbucs Fan
Sure, he’s undersized and sometimes gets manhandled. So, what else is new? You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but its hard 3 days before the season starts to read the negativity.
The next thing you know, the Buc Realist will be using this article to bash Dominick.
Then, my night would be complete!!!

I am calm today and will be calm tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, Sunday, Monday and on and on … Let’s wait to see what the Bucs do against the Jets. Keep in mind, we know nothing at all about what they’ll look like based on the preseason. I refuse to drink the koolaid of pure hype based on nothing. It is my opinion (which I think I’m entitled to) that the Bucs are not deep and the long NFL season will wear them down. That’s all. If you don’t like it, ok. I’ve been through this for longer than you’ve been on the earth, so I’m not easily convinced by preseason talk.
September 5th, 2013 at 8:26 pm
alright who”s gonna win Denver or Baltimore?
September 5th, 2013 at 8:27 pm
richbucsfan …no sir not at all. I’m saying trust in Schiano. He knows what he’s doing more than you do.
September 5th, 2013 at 8:29 pm
I say Flaaco throws 256 yds 1 TD 2 ints. and one fumble.
September 5th, 2013 at 8:29 pm
RBellBuc …Denver without a doubt.
September 5th, 2013 at 8:34 pm
Why don’t we have Flaco, Manning, Welker & Rice? Where was the Pop Star in the off season?

I’ll never bet against Herman Munster Manning, I’m a true believer man. Having had the same kind of neck surgeries myself, I know how it can change you physically, but the dude bounced back like nobody’s business and stood in there like champion, I like Denver in this one, but not by much, Baltimore still has a very tough defense.

Thats right take what they give you. Nice underneath route Jones
September 5th, 2013 at 9:47 pm
@LUVMYBUCS
Denvers evidently loves The Red Raiders too. They’ve got three in the starting offense
September 5th, 2013 at 9:55 pm
Yeah I noticed that across the OLine
September 5th, 2013 at 9:57 pm
looks like this thread was hijacked to interrupt the flow … anyway, we will see what happens on Sunday … for comparison’s sake, look at the Raven’s oline… do you honestly think #50 has a chance against them or even the Broncos? Let’s not ‘fantacize’, let deal in reality. I’m glad he has a motor, but I’ve him in too many games get dominated. I wish him well, but harbor no false hopes that he will get 8 sacks Sunday or even 8 for the entire season.

You have a good eye for the game.

“I refuse to drink the koolaid of pure hype based on nothing. It is my opinion (which I think I’m entitled to) that the Bucs are not deep and the long NFL season will wear them down.”
See now, I will never understand embracing a negative attitude. You claim to be older…so am I. We used to say “I will respect others until they give me reason to not respect them.”
Nowadays I’m a bit more compassionate toward others, but the phrase fits in regard to being Bucs fans. I personally try to see the silver lining in all things these days. But I can understand some people get frustrated with this team.
I had more fun watching the games last year than any game after the superbowl year. It actually felt like, with the exception of maybe 3-4 games we had a good chance to win. Heck, it was two bad calls by refs that cost us two games. With those wins we would have made the playoffs.
And then I see the effort being given to make the team better. The effort is there big time. It is clear…they are making the team better then filling out depth. A good example is running back. Last year they made it better. This year they added quality depth.
I jus don’t see why fans would even bother being fans unless they at least have high hopes at the start of a season. Be positive until the teams gives you reason to not be positive. Since every season is a fresh start…let got of the negative and enjoy the product.
Consider this as well. If all these negative fans talk that way around fringe fans, that’s probably part of the reason the games are not selling out.
If you are as old as I am, or older, surely you must see some wisdom in this.
BTW, there is a slim chance I will get to go to the game this weekend. I got a last minute off for a free trip to NY to meet with a literary agent and a publisher. It is so last minute I may not be able to do it until next week though due to a book signing. But man, I would love to be there.

BuccaneerBonzai …careful now Adam might be puzzled as to why your post is longer than the article. As he was with me.
This by the way is a great point Bonzai.

September 6th, 2013 at 5:50 am
Hi BucBonzai. Nice post. I base my thoughts on what I see. The Bucs had a chance to upgrade at Dline and didn’t, instead got weaker. They had a chance to further upgrade at CB and didn’t and now we have to depend on Johnson and Banks and hopefully Revis is recovered enough to play a full season. From a strictly business point of view, if I am building a team to compete for a Super Bowl, this product just does not have the tools. But, so you know, I will support them as much as I can each week. My expectations are very low as you can tell.
