Bucs Release Week 1 Depth Chart
September 4th, 2018
Joe’s not going to overblow this since it’s often meaningless and little more than the Bucs (or any other team) complying with a league rule.
For those how like to interpret everything, the Buccaneers released their Week 1 depth chart this afternoon and there are a few points of note that could reveal the outcomes of summer position battles.
Vernon Hargreaves is listed as a starter, as is Caleb Benenoch at right guard. Also somewhat noteworthy is Ronald Jones as the third-string running back.
Rookie cornerback M.J. Stewart is behind fellow rookie Carlton Davis on the depth chart, and Chris Godwin and DeSean Jackson share the starting receiver position opposite Mike Evans.

VH 3…will get a pick in the Bucs win on Sunday !
September 4th, 2018 at 4:01 pm
Ronald Jones II is right where he deserves to be.
I’m curious to see where Noah Spence is on the depth chart. He’s probably where a former 2nd round pick should not be.
September 4th, 2018 at 4:23 pm
Jones is only listed because we drafted him. Honestly he doesn’t deserve to be.
September 4th, 2018 at 4:27 pm
I would love to see VH3 suddenly step it up from his rookie season. Maybe the new blood at DB will give him a kick in the ass, because those youngsters are playing well
As for Ronald Jones, I wish people would just lay off. It was one rookie preseason. The kid is explosive give him a chance.

These seasons feel like one long season! I love the Bucs but it consistently feels like the off season is already among us. We have seen this S$!t show already. New DL men supposed to be QB jockstrap collectors. But in all actuality its the lone Avenger GMC show. There is one flicker of hope for me and its Buckner! I hope he turns this group into a eastern diamondback pit instead of a yard of garden snakes. Our DL and OL need to play like Buckner’s demon attitude!! Until these group prove something, our boat is still docked with a bunch of hungover Buccaneers. We all are tired of losing!

The WORST roster in the NFC South
A total joke

“LOL! Who is running this joke of a team? Kobe just seen the depth chart and its missing Cameron Brates name completely! ”

Hey Lakeland-get over it and shut up. Being as vocally negative as Sen Chuckles Schumer doesn’t help our guys when they are giving their best effort. If that isn’t good enough the door opens both ways and the hinges are oiled.
September 4th, 2018 at 4:50 pm
Uh, Kobe.

Kobe, I tried to paste the depth chart to no avail. Brate is listed quite obviously as first TE.
September 4th, 2018 at 4:53 pm
Good for VH3 to have a nice camp and to be back in there, I just hope his play justifies it. I have faith in the guy, he had a nice rookie season (by rookie standards) and then fell off the face of the earth. Meanwhile the dopes on this message board literally blamed him for playing 15 yards off the LOS, saying it was VH3 freelancing, which of course is moronic since if he was the coaches would have benched him. Anyways we saw as the year went along that Mike Smith decided that having guys 15 yards off the LOS on 3rd and 5 was a great idea and VH3 wasn’t even on the field. The hatred for VH3 is insane, and the same dopes that hate him seem to think Ryan Smith isn’t that bad, in other words they have an IQ of a seagull.
September 4th, 2018 at 4:56 pm
VH3 is a solid CB….unfortunately he’s playing on a CRAP team.
September 4th, 2018 at 4:58 pm
VH3 reminds me of the years that Aqib Talib was a member of this Sideshow.
September 4th, 2018 at 5:03 pm
Makes you wonder if RJone will be a healthy scratch on Sunday.
September 4th, 2018 at 5:06 pm
LakeLand – I like VH3, but to compare him in any way to Talib is pretty ridiculous. Also I wouldn’t even say he’s a solid CB. I think based on his rookie season he can become a solid CB, but he has yet to prove that, but I really hope he does step up and we just don’t notice him, that would be ideal for now.
September 4th, 2018 at 5:13 pm
Caption that picture!
“Whatchu talkin’ about, Willis?”
September 4th, 2018 at 5:21 pm
Vh3bust will embarrass himself like always. Put the kid out of his misery so he can go onto his true calling coaching pop warner and reliving his failed past.

You can’t really judge a CB in this piss-poor defensive scheme. VH3 has always been a solid CB, from pee-wee to UF. Up until the moment the YUCS drafted him.
September 4th, 2018 at 5:35 pm
And a fun fact for the record.
Aqib Talib was a part of this crapshow in Tampa for 4+ years and he never made the Pro Bowl. He made the Pro Bowl five consecutive years after leaving this pathetic franchise.
September 4th, 2018 at 6:10 pm
I hope Shaun Wilson can get touches in the earlier part of the season and see what he looks like against starters. Him and PB could be what we thought PB and RoJo were gonna be.
VH3 looked great in the slot in that third game. An eventual three rotation of him-Davis-and MJ with J.Evans and Whitehead could possibly be a badass young secondary at some point.
Let me guess. Of course Conte’s starting over Whitehead. Dumbass’
September 4th, 2018 at 6:10 pm
Kobe Faker proves he cannot read. Godwin is NOT starting and Brate IS starting.
September 4th, 2018 at 6:16 pm
LakeLand, go troll another website.
September 4th, 2018 at 6:18 pm
OJ howard not starting? cant wait for a new regime, so licht has 2 out 5 #1s starting on sunday and two #2s?
September 4th, 2018 at 6:22 pm
None Bucs fans and trolls:
Kobe Faker. LakeLand,. Reality-is-a-Beotch (Tmaxcon).
Losers one and all.
September 4th, 2018 at 6:25 pm
Duthsty Rhothdes, OJ Howard is starting.
https://www.buccaneers.com/team/depth-chart
The thing I find interesting is M. J. Stewart being so low in the rotation. He must still be nursing an injury.
September 4th, 2018 at 6:26 pm
This filter is killing me today.
September 4th, 2018 at 6:28 pm
I hear Doug is ballin out in Oakland. Hahaha. No joke. “This is the best line I’ve ever ran behind.”
Bucs always talking about a run game but never can put together a dominant line. Need to do that before you get you target your future All-Star RB. They think Ali can do it all. Donovan Smith is not a dominant LT that has to protect what could be an up and coming franchise QB. Jensen is good I like him. Can’t have Evans starting at guard year after year. Dotson played well last year but is as old as dust and had surgery. Benenoch is waay overrated and when I say that I mean he’s second string material.
BIG OVERHAUL OF O-LINE FA AND DRAFT 2019.
September 4th, 2018 at 6:36 pm
Yeah let’s see Doug “ball out” meaning the Muscle Turtle can now thrill Oakland fans when that “outstanding” line breaks Dougie into the secondary only to watch him consistently hauled down from behind.
September 4th, 2018 at 6:41 pm
@Dusthy
O.J is listed as the starting Y Tight end ahead of Alan Cross who is more of an H-back/FB anyway.
O.J. will more than likely be on the field for 80+ percent of snaps like he was last year. The pressing question for this is whether or not he’s properly utilized as the explosive weapon he without a doubt is in the passing game.
September 4th, 2018 at 6:41 pm
this *year*
September 4th, 2018 at 6:49 pm
Good ‘ol Buc fans!
VHIII better perform sans the finger-wag. Do your job first. When you make a BIG play, please feel free to Mutombo as you wish.
Depth chart is meaningless outside of Godwin/DJax being “starters”. Godwin will make us forget DJax eventually.
September 4th, 2018 at 6:53 pm
Rod munch, that’s gospel right there buddy! Preach
September 4th, 2018 at 7:29 pm
So Lakeland comes out of the pit of despair to enlighten us with the wisdom that our roster is trash and the great Vernon Hargreaves is the next Talib.
Got to love this site! Bwahahaha.
September 4th, 2018 at 7:33 pm
How many times does it have to be noted Hardgraves struggles out wide !! Is he going to play more press ? Or is he just that improved or is this like watching FSu s offense last night fail at the same thing over and over and over !!! Stubborn ass coaches and GM s , sure hope he turns into Grimes but I wouldn’t hold my breath !!!
September 4th, 2018 at 7:42 pm
@Lakeland,
Your bias is showing.
VH3 routinely got manhandled when he went up against NFL-caliber receivers, especially the big ones.
I want nothing more than for him to become successful for us, but you can’t make a short guy taller or a slow guy faster.
September 4th, 2018 at 7:54 pm
So CG beat out Hump who we just gave an extension to so that means we are SET at WR 1 thru 4!
September 4th, 2018 at 10:02 pm
“Omg! Kobe Haters photoshopping depth charts to put me in a bad light among the JBF readers. Shame shame shame”
Kobe Faker
September 4th, 2018 at 10:29 pm
Here is the big question still. (Well one of them..). If VH3 does indeed move inside on 3rd downs, who will be the outside corner? And if the answer is Ryan Smith, we’re in for a hell of a season. #HeadsWillRoll #PlaytheRooks
September 4th, 2018 at 11:47 pm
VH3 a solid corner? Your kidding right? I’d put him down there beside Rod”toast” Jones. Definitely not up there beside Talib. How stupid
September 5th, 2018 at 12:01 am
when Ronald JOnes has big game these badwagon fans will be cheering him on.
These specialist that judge a career by preseason, if jones blows up you should be MAN or Girl enough to admit your wrong.
Learn to give people chance, like we did Rhonde Barber and John lynch who if you judge by 1st few seasons they would have been cut according to some clueless fans standards here.
September 5th, 2018 at 12:16 am
I don’t agree with the return players listed at #1 on the depth chart.
September 5th, 2018 at 12:36 am
You know what would be great… if Kobe Faker turned out to be Lee.
JK Lee 😉
September 5th, 2018 at 9:22 am
VHG will step up….
wheres whitehead?……
#NOEXCUSESIN2018!!!!…#PRESSURESONTHECOACHES!!!!….GO BUCS!!!
September 5th, 2018 at 1:42 pm
Interesting Vea is listed. And sad that desean isn’t the punt returner after asking for it and us having such great wr depth.
