Koetter Addresses DJax Rumor
October 28th, 2018
Bucs coach speaks on trade rumor.
This morning an NFL Network report claimed Bucs receiver DeSean Jackson had asked for a trade.
Joe has no idea who the source of this rumor is or whether it is based in any degree of fact. But Bucs coach Dirk Koetter weighed in on the rumor at his postgame press conference.
In the waning moments of the somber presser, Koetter was asked if Jackson is frustrated. Koetter suggested Jackson is not alone and added that every playmaker he ever met is frustrated when he doesn’t get the ball and Koetter mentioned that is not surprising.
Responding to a question from Jenna Laine of ESPN, Koetter added, “As far as requesting to be traded, I don’t know anything about that.”
And with that, Koetter ended his press conference.

With Fitz possibly taking over. You can squash that. WR care about one thing, if the guy can throw me a good ball they follow him. Winston is not that guy.
October 28th, 2018 at 5:35 pm
He demanded a trade…he was asking for Winston to be traded not himself

In related news – DeSean Jackson is now the happiest man in the locker room and would like to sign a 15 year extension with Winston benched.

Winston’s got to go, stop wasting time coddling him

DJax will stay now that Fitzmagic is back. The Winston to DJax TD was an albino tiger sighting. Hard to believe throwing to a wide open WR is THAT difficult and took this long. Well, he won’t have to worry about that throw any more.

If you’re an FSU fan you should be banned. All of you stupid morons. With your blinders on for 4 years of this bullsh#t.
Screw all of you. I can’t believe we had to argue with you idiots with things everyone knew except you nuthuggers.
Rod munch? Oh you gonna hide when your boy falls on his face?
Ndog? Don’t start backpedaling now.
All of you with your bias finally have to eat crow. Shut up no one wants to hear your excuses and bullsh#t anymore.
Get to steppin. Kick rocks.

Obviously the criticism after a win and the fans HATRED Jameis is in his head. I feel bad for him, anyone who is happy is not a real fan. BUCS can win w FITZ & Jameis should be 3rd string for the rest of season. He needs to watch and get his head right because today was the worst performance and he lost the game so it’s time to try to win with FITZ w Griffin as a backup.
October 28th, 2018 at 5:42 pm
….keep a 30+ wr and a journey man QBs over a young QB….yea that’s smart. Jameis probably another player that will get traded and win multiple super bowls….whatever happen to scheming to your players strengths? Isn’t that basic coaching 101?

@kansas95
You are a total moron. Stfu. You have no idea what you’re talking about.
Some of you people are just stupid.
October 28th, 2018 at 5:46 pm
at this point it really doesn’t matter
………the bucs season is headed nowhere fast and DJAX don’t want to go down on another sinking ship
I applaud DJAX for demanding a trade………
and you know who it all points back to again????? that’s right…..imma say it again………….the bad, inconsistent play of Jameis Winston
Jameis has now become a cancer on the offense and this team just like GMC is a cancer to the defense
CUT THE CANCERS OUT JASON LICHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 28th, 2018 at 5:46 pm
So much time and money wasted! I wanted Winston to be the QB for the next 10 years but games are lost by turnovers and the last three years are on him especially the fumbles.
October 28th, 2018 at 5:46 pm
Well, I for one am blaming Jay Miss’ eye doctor. Had he diagnosed Winston earlier as being completely blind, we wouldn’t be in this mess with Jackson.
October 28th, 2018 at 5:50 pm
Throwing interceptions in a game is NOT a strength you want your qb to have
October 28th, 2018 at 5:50 pm
All you idiots that were talking about playoffs and 10 or 11 wins.
What pair of eyes were you using?
Anyone with a brain knew this was a 6 win team. I told every single one of you that were talking about Winston “balling out” that you were gonna be really disappointed.
Well BOOM!!
Told your stupid as sses
October 28th, 2018 at 5:51 pm
DJax is sooooo happy that the bearded leprechaun should be named the starter next week. Licht and Koetter should start packing bags. They are toast, like Rod Jones!
October 28th, 2018 at 5:53 pm

We threw 4 interceptions, one returned for a TD, and we still only lost be 3 points. You’re the one that’s the idiot. We still have a chance to make the playoffs
October 28th, 2018 at 5:56 pm
@Sweeptheleg
Instead calling names like a little child, why not come up with some solutions? It’s easy to complain
October 28th, 2018 at 5:58 pm
Who’s Rod Jones?
October 28th, 2018 at 5:59 pm
Will Jameis play Santa Claus at the Christmas party?
Jason make some trades before Tuesday please!!!!!!!
October 28th, 2018 at 6:00 pm
We need to get something out of Jameis.
October 28th, 2018 at 6:01 pm
Maybe Alvin is a little toast. LOL

I’ll be wearing the Winston jersey as he cruises to a superbowl W with another team. Our organization is a joke. Great oline, dline, run game, pass rush (JPP MVP) secondary. Joke team.

I see you’re a Nole, but hopefully this is a drunk post, because you can’t really say this and be serious when this offense has been built around him, and he’s stockpiled with weapons.
Winston unfortunately has done this to himself. He’s in his head and I just can’t see the Bucs committing $20M to him for next season at this point.
October 28th, 2018 at 6:17 pm
Vjax knew who should be the starter. That’s all. He’s a vet and dont have time for bucs PR moves. No one should be a playing to audition jw.
October 28th, 2018 at 6:23 pm
Never liked JW but always wanted him to succeed for the sake of the team. I also think JW was forced back on the team in CHI. No way they were going to let someone making that much $ stand around and carry a clipboard. Hope Fitz can succeed and the defense can continue to improve.
October 28th, 2018 at 6:32 pm
Vjax retired 2 years ago.

Trade Winston by the 30th?
Get real! Koetter and Licht hastily trade Winston out of frustration, the light come on for him soon after his gets to his new digs and he goes on to have a superlative career, and end ups with a couple of SB rings elsewhere. Some of you out there would be cussing and cursing them for the rest of your lives.
It’s not going to happen that way.
The “brain trust” has to play this right for the next couple of weeks. After that who knows. They have to figure out what needs to be done to finish this season on the winning side, but do it in a “one game and at a time” mode.
We have a lot of talent. Our guys have toughness and heart! We do have to play well on both of sides of the ball and find a way to do it for four quarters at a time.
_____________
Go Bucs!!!!! No excuses!

These “leaks” to the media have been telling….D-Jax went on record in the offseason stating Winston basically needs to stop trying to impress people and just get the job done….Now he’s come out and stated he wants a trade. D-Jax knows that’s going to create questions….the obvious being about “chemistry” with the QB.
Last week Koetter had another telling moment by letting the media know Winston isn’t running the plays he’s supposed to. I get the sense folks are done faking it for the dude…..they’re aren’t buying what he’s selling. He simply not good. I think Winston works hard, understands Xs and Os, even has some leadership about him but the pro level is about execution and you cant manage the game with a player as inconsistent as Winston. Peoples careers are at stake….incentive bonuses are being flushed down the toilet….folks will have to move their families….Not because they aren’t doing their jobs but because Winston cant keep from turning the ball over nearly every qtr.

Trade Fitz and DJax to a team for some picks for the incoming GM.

If B R I D G E W A T E R is available go get him.
