Bucs Downgraded And Got Burned
October 13th, 2019
This one is on Bruce Arians and his chosen personnel guru/yes man Jason Licht.
They made the conscious decision to dump a solid punt returner in favor of an inexperienced guy who hadn’t showed any real promise at the position.
Bobo Wilson entered today’s game averaging 3.3 yards per return, which placed him among the worst full-time returners in the NFL. After today, Wilson is now scraping the bottom of the barrel at 2.8 yards per return, and he fumbled and wasn’t sure-handed overall against the Panthers in England. And the Bucs kept trotting him out there.
Wilson checks in at No. 25 with an average of 3.3 yards per return. His longest is 11 yards.
Former Bucs punt returner Adam Humphries averaged 8.3 yards per return during his Bucs career — and wasn’t exactly a stud at the position.
Kick returner? Arians’ handpicked ex-Cardinals guy isn’t special.
Return yardage is valuable hidden yardage. For a team that claimed it was reloading versus rebuilding, the wet the bed at the returner position.

Small potatoes. That’s nowhere near the biggest issue. OL ‘depth’ and the entire GD secondary. Again.

Glazers should USC Lane Kiffin Jason Licht

Give BoBo his own golf cart…that should help him get to 3.5 ypr!

People are finally waking up. I said before the season started this was not about winning this year. It’s about trying to save Jason lights job improve Jason lights players are not as bad as they have shown. He got a 4 year extension just for bringing in Arians which makes no sense. He hates athletic lineman on offense or defense. Refuses to upgrade guard tackle or edge rusher‘s! Even when the Buccaneers finally fire these guys it will take five or six years to undo the damage.

Worst kick return player in the league.
And we’ve been like this for decades.
Clifton Smith was the lone bright spot… and the Panthers ended his career

I was at the game. Apples McGoo the turnover machine shows up was n the UK.

Winston was a horrible draft pick from the start. Everything written about him in college is still true today. He can catch an Uber right out of town! Oh wait no he can’t.

Happy feet drunk womanizer homophobic felt at home in London

Why is Joe giving a pass to the toilet bolwes defense, that is now up to 30.83 pts per game!!!!!!!!!!! The defensive has been very healthy compared to last year, and has played a very soft schedule and are showing worse results!!!!!!!!!!! Where are all the ” hold them accountable”??????????????
2019 will reveal answers to the sheep, that the “real” fans already know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 13th, 2019 at 1:59 pm
I saw him last night at Platinum Lace
October 13th, 2019 at 2:00 pm
Joe and Ira was probably there with him
October 13th, 2019 at 2:01 pm
I’m so sick of Jason Licht. Sick of watching his defense. Pathetic.
Oh and where’s this supposed explosive offense??
October 13th, 2019 at 2:03 pm
Make the entire team and staff walk back from London.
October 13th, 2019 at 2:05 pm
Losing. confidence. Damn.
October 13th, 2019 at 2:13 pm
Adam Humphries lol please let’s not act like this wasnt a problem while here was here.
The great thing about the bye week is there is an opportunity to make big wholesale changes. The underperformed had their chance, they suck so it’s time to see who has heart and wants to play. tired of the big name invisibles.
October 13th, 2019 at 2:13 pm
These are The Licht Years…and boy are they slow and painful. Where do the Bucs go from here? Bonzee’s Mom’s Basement/Elf Erotica HQ where the Bucs march on towards the NFC Chimpionship? Only in fairy takes I’m afraid.
October 13th, 2019 at 2:16 pm
Bucs ST has been dismal forever. It’s just the missed FGs hide how poor the return game is. We never have decent returns. We can never flip a game with a big play in that regard and when we do there’s ALWAYS a would crushing penalty
October 13th, 2019 at 2:19 pm
Where to begin…OL, DL, DB, and last but not least QB. 9 or 10 picks on corners and safeties with next to nothing to show for it. Terrible left tackle and no right tackle. Ok guards and center. Almost 40 mil there, a JOKE. VV only Dline pick worth anything, jury still out on Nelson. America’s QB, lol, nuff said.
Teams are built from the front to the back. Bucs have next to nothing up front on either side. A complete rebuild on both sides of the ball needs to happen. Donovan Smith has proven he will never be consistent. Marpet and Jensen are overpaid. At least Cappa is still on a rookie deal.
Trade Brate, keep OJ. OJ has more upside. Trade Marpet, Jensen, and Smith. Cut Dotson. Next year draft all oline and dline. Let Winston walk.
Tank rest of the year, and hope you get a decent QB in draft
October 13th, 2019 at 2:20 pm
The Bucs are Licht years ahead of the competition wasting draft capital on kickers and DBs.

Anybody remember back when that plane pulled around the “Throw McKay in Tampa Bay” banner over Tampa Stadium?
I’d say you could very easily substitute it with Winston & Licht today.
Of course, McKay eventually made it into the Ring of Honor.
Sincerely doubt Winston & Licht will ever come close to sniffing that distinction.
October 13th, 2019 at 2:24 pm
Let’s blame Bobo….has a ring to it….
Our blocking on punt returns is horrible……they are on him immediately on every punt…..still, he should catch it.
October 13th, 2019 at 2:26 pm
Where to begin? How about the first play of the game, interception Jameis Winston! He lead the league in turnovers since coming into the league, and broke his own record today with five picks!! You can’t win when your franchise QB turns the ball over like I give out Halloween candy, handfuls at a time. Until him, and the moron who drafted him are gone, we’ll be losers, because they both are.
October 13th, 2019 at 2:34 pm
Qb throws 5 ints, and has 2 fumbles.
Leads league in give aways, since he was drafted.
But the Kick returner is an issue?
October 13th, 2019 at 2:40 pm
And yet people are allowed to call players “dumb nigs” on this website.
Unreal.

Please cut him… and the rest of you STUPID Florida and FSU homers that didn’t even go to your precious schools you love so much can STFU about drafting and signing any of these horrible players that you watched scorch such horrible teams in college such as Vanderbilt and Duke. Seriously, STFU! Hargreaves is straight trash, he needs to go along with Wilson. Winston, and all of the other crappy players from the state of FL that you know nothings constantly pine for!

Joe, you mean DJax? LOL
October 14th, 2019 at 2:55 am
I don’t think Wilson should be returning kicks or punts. They need to really find someone they can do that with. Perriman and BoBo are a nice package in our receiving corps and that’s why BoBo shouldn’t be cut they may want to do something fast to clear roster space for a returner. Miller would be my first to go or maybe J. Watson but we may need him in case of emergency.

Time to bring Karl “The Truth” Williams back from the streets, that guy was solid on punt returns.
