“Magnified Times 10”
September 3rd, 2019A Super Bowl Buccaneer likes what he has seen of the approach of Bucco Bruce Arians and how he’s countered the effects of “guys ok with getting paid and losing.”
One can always find candid and informed chatter on The Martín Gramática Show on 1470 a.m.
How refreshing.
Gramática, the Buccaneers’ glory days kicker, spoke today about how much he likes Bucco Bruce Arians’ emphasis on winning in preseason and his overall August intensity when it comes to winning and all phases of the game. It matters, Gramática says. (Yes, Gramática spent time at One Buc Palace during training camp.)
He likes the overall mentality-crafting by Arians, who Gramática says had to overcome defensive players cashing checks while residing in the NFC South basement.
Interestingly, Gramática said he believes that’s a reason the Bucs cut ties with Gerald McCoy. Gramática said it’s not because McCoy was one of those players, but because his leadership wasn’t strong enough prevent a bunch of historically horrible play around him.
The blend of young players and veterans in Tampa now look like a group focused on proving themselves, Gramática said, and that will pay off. He added McCoy will be forced to prove himself in Carolina, which wouldn’t have happened in the same way if he stayed with the Bucs.

make no mistake about it cancer93 was the undisputed leader of the losing culture and the face of the basement years the problem is that cancer93 top two proteges and over paid bums are still here in lvd and dotson…

This just didn’t happen overnight.
We all saw it for years, yet the inept coaches and LightBulb let it happen, actually, allowed it to flourish.
Finally, a coach with nuts to cut it out.

Bingo on second to last paragraph

Meh. He’s the same bum in Carolina playing along side 5 pro bowlers.
If you ever need a first down on third and short run it at McIceCream as your article stated yesterday it’s a Guaranteed a 1st down

The losing started with the idiot who thought, “I bet Raheem Morris is a better coach than Jon Gruden.”

Or maybe “restarted” is more accurate. The idiot who refused to pay Doug Williams was the architect of the first epoch of ineptitude.

over paid bums are still here in Benonch and dotson…

I agree with Grammatical! You could see the intensity displayed on the sidelines by BA even in the last Preseason Game while the starters were resting. He is not going to stand for any player not as intent to winning as he is. And if you don’t think that is important, you should watch the effect of the Georgia State Coach willing his little school players to defeat the Tennessee Team in their opening game in Neyland Stadium with rabbit Tennessee Fans watching in horror as their team choked during that game, and Georgia State defeated them soundly and celebrated.

I agree with modhairken

Love how dot is an over paid bum at 4 mil

I totally disagree with tmax. I know, shocking, a knowledgeable fan disagreeing with the quintessential casual fan troll.
Lavonte David has never been a “leader” and that is not at all negative. He is an excellent player, and not all excellent players are leaders. Leadership is a separate skill.
While I am quite happy with McCoy taking his kimono and superhero cape elsewhere, I am equally happy that LVD has a D Coordinator who will use his superior skills to the max.
We may see as impressive an MLB duo in Bowles 3-4 as any in the league.

@Joe:
Thank you so much for the heads up about Martín’s show on 1470AM.
I wondered what happened to him at 820AM.

Get over it assholes including joe hes gone ! Get a life and move on! How about you put good players around him ?
September 3rd, 2019 at 3:02 pm
“Guys ok with getting paid and losing”. That says a lot right there!
September 3rd, 2019 at 3:21 pm
Dot is an overpaid bum at $4

Tmax
You can’t be serious about LVD. He is without question one of the better linebackers in the Nfl. 93 is gone and forgotten, but David is a solid player and definitely no scrub. I do agree that his salary is high and dont really see him around more than 2 years or so IMO, But I do consider him a top 10 backer in the league and think in this new sysltem will have the impact needed to help lead the team into playoff contention.

true!^^^
the 3rd epoch got started when they gave Booger Sapp’s money.

Tmax I agree with you on Dotson. I think they should really just decide to bring Hawkins out there and challenge Dotson for the spot. I don’t think the offensive line position battles are over yet. The entire right side is up for grabs. I like the additions of Watford and now Hawkins to move Dotson out of here. I think Beneoch will stick around and learn RT on the bench this season and I just feel Cappa will be benched at some point for Watford as well. I think Cappa should play behind D. Smith

When in the world did Gramática get a radio show? Wow, I literally had no idea he even lived in this area, more or less did anything in the media.
Anyways without ever having heard the show I can already tell you it’s better than that fat slob wannabe shock jock Beckles show.

Yeah… What Rod said ditto. I’m interested to tune in!
