“Anything I Can Do To Be Urgent”
July 7th, 2015
Jameis Winston isn’t your typical rookie, and that’s a damn good thing.
Like Lavonte David said, the Bucs locker room needed America’s Quarterback.
Joe has scrutinized Jameis since launching the daily feature “Jameis Watch” back in mid-November. And Joe has not stopped studying young Jameis.
The video below is of Jameis on BSPN at the NFL Rookie Symposium in Ohio last month. It seems like a nothing interview with Jameis using various clichés, but Jameis’ answer is quite unique when it comes to how he views his leadership role.
Jameis even breaks from his relaxed posture, showing how passionate and natural it is for him to lead men.
After referencing his deep love for football, Jameis said, “Now we’re in the NFL, everyone has to love it the same, or you gotta try to get’em to love it the same.” The question posed to him was whether it’s hard for him to rally and lead players in a veteran locker room.
That’s an astute take by a 21-year-old. In college, the large majority of players have no shot at playing in the NFL and many are devoted to their studies and future careers. In the NFL, unequal love of football among players is a recipe for a rough season.
“Anything I can do to be urgent, stay upbeat,” Jameis added.
Most rookies are thinking of settling in and beating their learning curve. Jameis feels urgency when it comes to unifying the entire team.
Young Jameis and the Bucs rookies report to training camp in 20 short days.

Jameis Winston = adrenaline shot to the entire locker room.
July 7th, 2015 at 11:06 am
Btw every time I see him wearing anything with a Buccaneers logo on it I get goosebumps and warm fuzzy thoughts.
July 7th, 2015 at 11:11 am
REJOICE! For the Kingdom of Jameis is near!
July 7th, 2015 at 11:17 am
87, I’m right there with you
Can’t tell you how much I’m enjoying all my FSU friends’, who aren’t Bucs fans, jealousy
July 7th, 2015 at 11:20 am
Jameis is single handedly going to make the bucs relevant again despite having Laughable Lovie Smith and his clown posse running the show.
Now go get him some protection Licht!!! Go over Lovie the Clowns head to ownership and get a Oline built… Lovie can have all the injury prone other teams garbage players on Defense he seems to love so much however, Jameis needs a real oline… They need starters at both guards and center for sure and possibly left tackle. Not too mention ZERO depth on the current line made up of gambles / hopefuls. There is not a single above average starter on the Line. Dotson is average, mankins washed up has been with no knees, it just goes on and on… Lovie the clown has never built an oline and never will.
July 7th, 2015 at 11:31 am
I see jimbo fisher got rid of Johnson. he does not want another ahole like Americas QB. FSU really has issues with players and woman. wow idiots!
July 7th, 2015 at 11:33 am
Oh sure and if palm trees and sand were wings and beer, we’d all be paradise.

“loser/winston Says:
July 7th, 2015 at 11:31 am”
I love that this bothers you.
July 7th, 2015 at 11:43 am
Yipee we still have a few non-Buc fans left on this site.
Please do stick around. Keep your same screen names too. Don’t be a “loser” and change it on us when the wins start dropping!
July 7th, 2015 at 11:51 am
Keep trying to tell y’all this young man is not the typical rookie.
July 7th, 2015 at 11:53 am
how many players on this team truly feel this only a few, seems like the passion only comes out of players at one buc after a loss and it comes across as whining like josh mccown did which was truly a low point in buc history. this guy may not be Andrew luck like but atleast he has the right mentality and don’t quit attitude, imagine him coming off the bench after mccown injury instead of glennon, he would have never given that starting job back to mccown
July 7th, 2015 at 11:53 am
And let me add the Lovie/ WINSton marriage will be a lengthy one.
July 7th, 2015 at 12:26 pm
Some of you kill me with this Andrew Luck stuff as if he’s the God of the QB position. I’ve never seen him win a national championship,never seen him beat Tom Brady and since he a has been a member of NFL a few years I haven’t as of yet seen him win a superbowl.
July 7th, 2015 at 12:39 pm
Ahhh…
the Joy of Being undefeated in 2015.
Isn’t the off-season great?
July 7th, 2015 at 12:41 pm
Nole on Sat…meh they’ll come around. It’s only July, were just killing time right now. Thank Joe for that. He keeps us going until training camp. Hell without the net the offseason was a loooooooong loooooooooong wait.
Once the preseason starts some of you are going to eat your words…
July 7th, 2015 at 12:45 pm
winning championships in college and nfl requires a complete team, Stanford winning a national championship? lol but the guy is the most successful qb to start off his career in a long time and i’d rather compare Winston to Andrew luck than to compare him to ryan tannehill, matthew Stafford, matt ryan or even RW. you compare Winston to Andrew luck because of age. tom brady is 37 years old and no one fears peyton manning anymore. this is a new age of quarterbacks
July 7th, 2015 at 12:58 pm
I get a kick out of the posters that say : “well Winston was surrounded by great talent that made him look better than he really is.”
It never crosses their mind that Winston was a great talent himself surrounded by other great talents.
Sure Jimbo does a great job at recruiting great talent. That includes Jameis Winston you silly Sally’s.
July 7th, 2015 at 1:20 pm
Jameis is a fraud. If any of you have daughters, you should be ashamed of yourselves rooting for this POS!
July 7th, 2015 at 1:25 pm
Curtis my daughter owns an FSU Winston jersey and you’re a fraud.
July 7th, 2015 at 1:29 pm
Curtis when you have anything else to say on any other topic other than Jameis, pick an article any article. Then I might believe that you’re a Bucs fan. Until then stare into the screen, get really close, closer, closer.
Do you see me giving you the middle finger now?
July 7th, 2015 at 1:29 pm
You sound like an awful father, 87. what a nole homer you are
July 7th, 2015 at 1:34 pm

July 7th, 2015 at 1:38 pm
Lmao! Have I mentioned that I love JBF? Thank you joes you guys are awesome.
July 7th, 2015 at 1:39 pm
If you remember the team really rallied around Doug Williams when he came in.
Hopefully the same will happen with Jameis.
Of course that 78 team was one year away from the number one defense in the league and setting a record for least number of points allowed.
That helped.
July 7th, 2015 at 1:42 pm
LWD…the Gators are full of criminals. He won’t click that link.
Curtis my daughter doesn’t know anything about what Winston has been accused of or done while he was at FSU. She’s 9 years old, so what’s the point of telling her anything about it? She enjoys watching college football with me. Just like me she probably could care less what he does off the field.
Concentrate on you’re own miserably life. For “It SUCKS to be a Florida Gator.”
July 7th, 2015 at 1:45 pm
I know one thing Jameis never did at FSU.
Lose to the gators……
Might have toyed with em a little, but never lost.

Best Buc related site on the net and it’s not even close. Although it does sometimes attract the maggots of the world…very similar to TMZ.

Curtis will be banned soon. I think it happens to all gator fans. Haha just poking fun at you Buc. Lol.
July 7th, 2015 at 2:37 pm
^^^^ Ha ha ha
July 7th, 2015 at 2:46 pm
For the record, there are plenty of great gator fans. As with all fanbases, you have a small portion of uneducated turd throwers.
What’s funny is that all the major colleges are recruiting the same kids. There are bag men everywhere. The local PDs all know the coaching staffs. It’s not one program that is different then the rest (maybe the Stanfords of the world).
But, there will always be your Curtis Gators of the world who think they are better, when really, they are not at all.
On the other hand, I can’t think of any other programs that unleashed a serial killer on the NFL and the rest of society. 😉
July 7th, 2015 at 2:54 pm
I like the Gators: They are responsible for producing serial killers as well as Love Bugs!!! Thanks a lot!!!
July 7th, 2015 at 3:44 pm
DB you MFer!!!!!
Love ya though man.
And Curtis………….i really despise Gator fans like yo
July 7th, 2015 at 3:46 pm
“you”…………Dammit Joe fix this comment section so we can edit our comments for the first five minutes after making them.
July 7th, 2015 at 3:50 pm
Lmao ha ha
July 7th, 2015 at 3:50 pm
Thanks for the article Love & WD. You would think that Gator fans would be the last to accuse other teams of compromising their values for talented FB players. Do you think Curtis is all over the Gator sites demanding the release of Treon Harris?
July 7th, 2015 at 4:11 pm
I just want the best for my bucs. I don’t believe in this guy. He displayed thuggish behavior. Period. And yall can stop bringing the gators into this. Has nothing to do with them or their players.
July 7th, 2015 at 4:59 pm
I’m also a gator fan from way back. They were the closest major college team around to Tampa. I don’t follow them as closely since USF started football, that’s the home team to me now. I still pull strongly for the gators to beat FSU, old habits are hard to break. All the college teams have troubled players, but I agree none top the murderer that played in Gainesville and with the Pats. Miami and USC west come close with Simpson and Lewis, who both got off free. Some will argue Lewis did nothing, I’m not buying that.
July 7th, 2015 at 5:05 pm
“Curtis Gatorboy Says:

Curtis, check this out, the draft was April 30, 2015. It’s done. He’s a Buccaneer.
So, if you TRULY want what’s best for the Bucs, then, you want Winston to succeed. Because, as he succeeds, as do the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If he turns out to be a bust, you and others will have plenty of time to gloat. But, right now, you are rooting AGAINST the team that you claim to support.
This is basic logic, people.
(other readers: Note how I chose to ignore his suspect use of the word “thug”, and his blind hypocrisy for his college team of choice.)

87,
Dude! I’m a die hard Gator.
That’s rude!
July 7th, 2015 at 6:42 pm
Hey Stan …..The whole Treon Harris thing was dispelled in less than a month from the actual alleged incident.
Nobody sat on it for almost a yr.

LOL I’m a hardcore Noles fan. Hate runs deep my man.
As long as Buc fans bring the words I’m a Gator. I’ll always reply and you can count on that. Nothing against your Buc-love though. It’s just, it’s just I hate the GATORS that much….
Don’t get too upset. Ha ha ha!
July 7th, 2015 at 7:32 pm
Jameis has IT. Can’t wait to see IT. NFL defenses will come to hate IT. Bucs fans will LOVE IT!!
This young man’s QB skills, knowledge and leadership along with his will and capability to WIN means great things for the future of this franchise. Licht was on target when he said this was the most important draft pick in the history of the franchise. Sit back and enjoy the ride on the Famous Jameis train Bucs fans.
And lets hope that ride lasts for the next 15 years. We deserve it after all the hell this franchise has put us through for the last 6 years and especially for the 13 straight years of utter ineptitude and bottom dwelling that long time Bucs fans had to stomach between the time that Doug Williams got run out of town and Tony Dungy arrived.
July 7th, 2015 at 7:56 pm
Once again……..If the OL is average or better there is Zero excuse for a losing season barring injuries.
July 7th, 2015 at 7:58 pm
Hey 87. You will eventually grow out of that. The only reason you hate us that 6 yr stretch during the Tebow era where you guys lost every yr. You will mature
July 7th, 2015 at 8:05 pm
Jameis visits teen with heart ailment in the hospital during his free time this July. Wow what a straight up thug. STHU Gaytorboy!

July 7th, 2015 at 8:07 pm
Buc….I don’t know the hatred started way back in 1993. I’m coming up on 45 in September. Probably take it to my grave.
July 7th, 2015 at 8:27 pm
I thought the same thing bro but I married a FSU grad and my brother’s wife is also a Grad. My BEST friend since we were 8 is a FSU grad. I have WAY more UF buddies but all in all in my family I have to be neutral.
July 7th, 2015 at 8:30 pm
Ahhhh Now I know why…………1993. We beat you guys twice in one yr which is impossible unless one of Said games is the National Championship.
July 7th, 2015 at 8:33 pm
I meant in 96. Jeesh this dam Montana Rough Stock.

July 7th, 2015 at 8:59 pm
The whole FSU/Gator thing would never come up if they’re weren’t folks continuing to stress FSU thug. I love the FSU/Gator rivalry,I’ll be riding with the Noles until I leave this planet but some need to take notice that when you blatantly attack a member or former of a squad that some take pride in well just be man enough to handle it when folks responds to it.. Don’t blog later”I can’t understand why everyone is attacking me”. This JBF bro,speak out of term and someone coming for that a$$.
July 7th, 2015 at 9:18 pm
@Buc-a-new
UF lost to FSU during the ’96 regular season. FSU’s prize for beating the #1 team in the country? A rematch. So, we split that year. 😉
July 7th, 2015 at 9:28 pm
What UP Warrick and Nos Bos!!! Always enjoy you guys’ company. Warrick you should know by now that you have to make some Crazy wrong statements to get people to talk to you. We won the only one that counted that yr. I guess. But who cares about UF / FSU here. We are BUCS Brethren!!
July 7th, 2015 at 9:55 pm
@Buc
They certainly won the big one! Agreed. Go Bucs!!
July 7th, 2015 at 9:57 pm
Yeah Warrick but that was almost 20 yrs ago. Go Jameis Winston and Go BUCS!!!
July 7th, 2015 at 10:00 pm

This JBF bro,speak out of term and someone coming for that a$$.
YES!!!! #3
July 7th, 2015 at 10:08 pm
Not exactly sure what that meant DB but………
HELL YEAH!!!!!
July 7th, 2015 at 10:24 pm
Curtis appears ok if his female relatives tote up a fatty w/Treon and cruise down around Hogtown Creek. Treon’s not a “thug”
#hogtowngoodtimes
July 7th, 2015 at 11:14 pm
Treons a thug also. But he doesn’t play for the bucs. Why bring him up?!?!
July 8th, 2015 at 12:16 am
“What” exactly is your definition of “thug” Curtis?
July 8th, 2015 at 1:58 am
Ohh it’s going to be nice to have a QB for once this kid I have high hopes for you we gona see
July 8th, 2015 at 11:19 pm
Can a single player turn a last place 2-14 team around? Can one player teach an entire team how to win close games? Was there OL so bad that he will not have an impact on those players as well? The answer is yes he can. Lovie is a great coach with a winning record. Dirk Koetter is a great OC and Leslie Frazior is a great DC and a former head coach. There are elite players on this team McCoy, David and Evans. This team has great players who are former All Pros in Jackson, Martin, Verner, Melton, Mankins and Jenkins. Future All Pro’s in Winston, Smith, Marpet, Bell, Alexander and Banks. This team is good, real goood.
