“A Few” Wounded Buccaneers?
July 29th, 2015
Last night, following Jason Licht’s Town Hall event on WDAE-AM 620, a question was posed to the general manager about whether the entire roster would be healthy and ready to play football on Saturday when training camp begins.
Licht did not say, “Yes.”
What Licht did say was, “There may be a few [unable to practice Saturday], but we’re not going to release that right now. Overall, we’re excited about the health.”
So who’s hurt?
Joe asked rookie wide receiver Kenny Bell early Tuesday about the injury that kept him out of several spring practices. Bell told Joe it was a hamstring issue that he finished rehabbing this summer in Nebraska. Bell labeled himself 100 percent.
Joe hopes all the Bucs are healthy, but Licht’s answer was unsettling. Joe can only speculate — and pray the health issues aren’t among the men tasked with protecting Jameis Winston, America’s Quarterback.

Heard the rumor that ASJ was bowling with the rookies and suffered an ankle injury

Safety Derrick Wells is one of them.

Heres a question…Why is Jake Long not visiting Tampa? Do we really believe we have 4 better tackles on the roster? Wake up Jason Lite and Lovie!!!

A 30 year with 2 ACL tears in less than two years who wants to be paid 7 plus a year? I rather put the future (Smith) in and let him get the reps to grow into a solid LT for the next 10-15 years. Dodson a solid RT.

I’m concerned about the health of Daquan Bowers knee.
Yeah, I’ll be concerned about Daquan Bowers knee when monkeys fly out my butt. Nice guy, wish him well, but he has no fire in his belly for the NFL. And that’s OK. There’s nothing wrong with not having a strong enough desire to play in the NFL…as long as you don’t try and play in the NFL. I suspect he might be a great gospel group singer.

I’m I the only one who though Bowers played decent DT toward the end of last year? I think they just brought him in to see how he continues to develop at DT. Also as a insurance policy in case they have a rash of injuries at DT. That being said I don’t like his chances at making the 53 with the depth at DT this year.

Stan …I think they like his versatility and he’s another one of those guys that “knows the system” whatever that means for a DT…

@Stanglassman
No you’re not the only one to see Bowers play decently as a backup last year.
Agree with you and so apparently did L&L. And I hope Licht is right and Bowers was humbled and has rededicated himself. It could happen.

Every team has injuries, so I’m not real concerned. Just go with who is healthy, since humans who hit and collide with each other are going to get banged up despite the protective gear being worn. Robots might replace people in many jobs, but robot football aint one of them. Then again, people like to watch the battle bots.

A snowmobile is like a jet ski, but it is cold as your deep freeze and there is always the possibility of running into a tree if you have a couple too many drinks….and if it breaks down in the middle of nowhere you can freeze to death…..and let’s not forget the ski patrol that can carry you back to the hospital on a little rig through the frozen tundra until you reach civilization and a hospital. And if you are lucky, you can go a couple hundred miles in a day, barhopping your way away from home and hope to once again return home safely.
…………………
LOL! It sounds as if you have visited Montana before.
Good evening fellas!

July 29th, 2015 at 8:28 pm
EDS probably strained his vajayjay at the final mini camp lol
July 29th, 2015 at 8:29 pm
The defensive players will drop like flys this year. But some of these guys have come in with injuries that are healing.
July 29th, 2015 at 8:30 pm
I’m still not mad that suh stepped on it…he even knew he had no twigs and berries. Wimps get kicked between the legs lol
July 29th, 2015 at 8:51 pm
Bucsalltheway…can you clue me in as wth your talking about?
Can anybody?
July 29th, 2015 at 9:16 pm
Evening guys, It will be very bad if we have significant injuries before 1st practice. On the bright side, at least we didn’t draft players with lingering injuries.
July 29th, 2015 at 9:19 pm
I think a couple years back ndamukong such stepped on Evan smiths nuts
July 29th, 2015 at 9:27 pm

July 29th, 2015 at 9:34 pm
Buc…got a jersey in the mail today…
July 29th, 2015 at 9:46 pm
Was it a Creamsickle Josh Freeman Jersey???
July 29th, 2015 at 9:46 pm
Did Eric finally come through?
July 29th, 2015 at 9:58 pm
Nope is my man Erik that came through in a big way. Not ONLY that but he put some icing on the cake for me. Yesterday he sent me an autographed picture of Gruden holding up the SB trophy.
Is that not a stand up guy or what?
It’s a nice feeling to know that there are people still out there in America like Erik Hesson.
He needs to come to the home opener so I can buy his every beer.
July 29th, 2015 at 10:08 pm
I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I Defended him at length. I said that he can’r run a successful business by welching on bets in a Public Forum. Congrats bro. And Im glad I was right
July 29th, 2015 at 10:10 pm
No matter how much you two fought I Knew that both of you would honor your bets. Yes I had faith in you too bro.
July 29th, 2015 at 10:14 pm
Yes well he’s going to get a lengthy e-mail from me tomorrow, expressing my gratitude and why. There’s a few things peeps in here don’t know about me or my life for good reason. Erik will know all about it tomorrow.
July 29th, 2015 at 10:17 pm
Yes I would have caught holy hell from the wife if I lost that bet. But I would have paid up and dealt with the consequences from my wife. That’s just who I am.
July 29th, 2015 at 10:21 pm
Make sure you tell him gatr said Well Done!!!
July 29th, 2015 at 10:21 pm
Really there is still a filter Joe?
July 29th, 2015 at 10:26 pm
Buc…Yes W-S-99 without the slashes won’t go through.
I’m telling you I don’t know who was right or wrong on the matter but if it was him saying what was said he won’t be back. Not without a VPN or something or other.
July 29th, 2015 at 10:57 pm
I can be GatOr-buc. But if you take out the O, then the filter says F You! Lol
Still Luv ya tho Joe. More than usual in a totally not gay way.

Mountain time as a Bucs fan is only good during the season when games come on at 11Am Eastern. Peace out Joes and Joes followers.
July 30th, 2015 at 1:52 am
Best thing that can happen is one of these scrubs like Herron etc to gimp up, if we don’t give Hall a real shot we will regret it….
July 30th, 2015 at 10:00 am
