“Use Your Hands”
December 5th, 2018
Scrutinized
Great camera angles and interesting audio here from Sunday’s game.
It’s Cameron Brate Mic’d Up, and it’s revealing.
First, you can see a different look in the Buccaneers.com video of Brate dropping a touchdown pass from America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, against Carolina.
Then you can see Brate apologize to Jameis for not getting his head around fast enough on a seam route that went incomplete. The pass was on the money. Jameis responded to Brate, “Use your hands.” Then Jameis apologized to Brate, who was adamant to Jameis that it was his fault on the back end of the route.
Joe also found the sideline chatter about the pass to Brate that was ruled incomplete but was challenged by Dirk Koetter. The ruling on the field stood.
It’s been an underwhelming year for Brate, who still is a good tight end.

Me13 also. I like how ME13 almost got himself KO’d with a body catch from JW on that first slant. Jw with a extremely accurate body blow.
Maybe Brate doesn’t want to get hurt from one of those JW heaters.

only underwhelming because of OJ Howard taking most of his snaps. He’s still solid.

I want the league to rule on whether the Barber fumble was a touchdown.

Love Godwin but would love to see him use his hands more. I wonder if Winston throws too hard to catch with hands it’s the only reason I can think of.

My biggest complaints with Licht were:
allowing Koetter to hire Smith to begin with
not firing Smith after last season
not firing Smith leading into the bye week
signing Chris Baker who had a terrible reputation in Washington
drafting Aguayo in round 2
and that’s really it.
You guys can say what you want about his difficulties in round 2 but the truth is that Noah Spence was projected to go a little higher than were we got him, though I didn’t like Vernon Hargreaves, he was considered a solid CB (despite being small and slow— Joe Haden 2.0), Ronald Jones was drafted right in the neighborhood where he was projected (I still hear people saying that we could’ve gotten Derrius Guice! He hasn’t played a down!), the jury is still out on MJ Stewart (he played better than Ronde Barber did his rookie year), but overall he has done wonders in acquiring talent that this team has never had before. He drafted the best WR in franchise history, potentially the best TE in franchise history, had some solid picks and signing on the OL, picked up Brate, Humphries, Barber, as undrafted free agents… on the offensive side of the ball, we are loaded. He took a shot at DJax and he is who he is. A one dimensional deep threat that is not a team player… that might have been enough if he hadn’t also drafted one of the best #2 WRs in football in Chris Godwin. This offense is loaded and the defense is young. Trading for JPP and claiming Nassib might have us set at DE for a few years to come. Vea is coming around, Kwon, Justin Evans, Davis, and Whitehead have great talent but need to be more consistent. GMs can only GM, they don’t coach too. There’s only so much they can do. Licht has done a very good job of finding dynamic players that any coach that is half decent would jump at the chance to have.

dont know why dirk challenged that play…
BucTown replies: Because there was only 4:19 left in the game and challenges vanish at 2:00. Sure, you lose a time out if you lose the challenge, but Cam was arguing vociferously that he made the catch. The Bucs game management coach told Dirk it was less than 50/50 that he’d win, but they both saw it as a low risk/high reward possibility.
And BTW, Cam got his ass reamed (in jest) after the game for swearing it was a catch.
You’re certainly free to criticize Dirk, bucboi. He occasionally deserves it. But it will always help your case if you’re actually informed.

Uh, he rarely does not use his hands.

I think it was a bad call on his part or whoever told him to challenge……sure he would lose the challenge at 2 min….but you never know if you will need the time out…..
Koetter has made some very questionable calls the most egregious was throwing the challenge flag when he (admittedly) was out of time outs……that was purely out of frustration and he lost it.

Oh I beg to differ, Joe.
I really wish he would stop trying to catch with his elbows & toes.

it was not low risk high reward….you run the risk of losing a TO that you may need….and the play wasnt even that close…..it was clear the bucs didnt have enough evidence so why risk a TO over a play that was 50/50…..
with it being late in the game, the TO’s were more important…..thats just another example of dirk making coaching 101 mistakes…..

Was said that Elway would throw too hard and he did alright. Receivers catching a fastball from Elway at 10 yards would be gifted “The Elway Cross” on their chest.
