Feisty Bucco Bruce Arians
August 25th, 2020
Short fuse today.
Not sure who urinated in his Wheaties this morning, but Bucs coach Bucco Bruce Arians sure was agitated at practice.
And he had good reason to be.
Some background: The Bucs led the NFL in penalties last year with 133. Specifically, on offense with unforced penalties, the Bucs were third in delay of game (eight) and third in false starts (23). That’s not factoring in too many men on the field, illegal formation and illegal motion.
So in a red zone series this morning, the whistle blew before Ryan Jensen could snap the ball. It seemed the Bucs didn’t have 11 men on the field.
And Mount Arians exploded like a Beirut waterfront warehouse.
You could just about hear him from Jesuit High School. And those priests would have broken their rosaries hearing Arians use an f-bomb every three words, or at least a word using a variance of the f-word as a root word.
Arians was absolutely irate. Joe doesn’t blame him one bit. After all the dumbarse penalties this team committed last fall, it cannot continue that nonsense while hoping for a playoff berth. If it takes Arians unloading on his offense like Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in “Full Metal Jacket” for him to get this point across, so be it.
It is unacceptable for the Bucs to continue this head-up-your-rear effort on offense.
Shortly thereafter during a water break, Arians again tore into his team for dragging @ss and taking too long to grab a bottle of water and quench their thirst.
And then, there was this hilarious exchange with Mike Evans when Ronald Jones scored a fantastic touchdown.
All in all, Arians was very much a live wire today. And it was entertaining as heck.

What a joke. He has to try and throw around his weight at times since he doesn’t even really coach the team. Just a figurehead. How long untiil this jackhole is gone?? I’m counting the days.

LOL…a lot of butthurt in this thread.
Some folks just cannot tolerate success.
This is the most fun offseason and preseason I can remember since 2003.

Just a personal preference, I would like to keep BA out of the nursing home because his intellect seems pretty intact to me.
FYI Alzheimers’s is a form of dementia.
Maybe it is not ignorance but early signs of dementia for you.
If that is the case, if you are in the early stages of dementia; Putting you in a nursing home is not likely the best option either.
Find a family member of friend that may help you out. If there is no one for you, please seek medical attention now. Change your diet. Be active. Your posts show evidence that your forgot things that you have said in the past.
Try word games and math games. They may help.

@Geno711,
Don’t feed the troll!!! That’s all El Bucco is!!

You talking about Spencer Schnell or someone else?

The offense led by Leftwich. Much like having to coach Mike Smith out of players, they now have to coach the Leftwich out of them….we Brady does. Glad BA is at least yelling though. Byron is soft as Charmin and the players know it.

@Cobraboy-exactly what “success” are you talking about? BA has never won a super bowl as a HC. So he’s just another run of the mill coach. Are you talking about the successful year of last years 7-9 record?? LOL or are you talking about Jason Gumps success of being a GM with a record of 34-62??? Impressive

Joe generally doesn’t write about scrubs or backups. This guy — if he is lucky — would be a No. 5 receiver.
Yes, Joe knows he was on the roster last year.
There really isn’t a story here. What did he do? Nothing that Joe can tell. Is he expected to be a starter? Nope.
Joe’s not just going to copy and paste the guy’s Wikipedia bio just because he is on the roster — for the time being.
Joe knows this irks some, but Joe’s been doing this for 12 years. There’s a reason Joe is successful.

“Joe generally doesn’t write about scrubs or backups”
Not true at all!!!!!!!!!!!!! Joe has written many times about jay-miss and ole stale biscuit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
go bucs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is 10 men on the field a penalty?

“… or at least a word using a variance of the f-word as a root word.”
BBB can associate!

I wold like to think that having the GOAT for QB would make for a less penalized team than the last starting QB.
I don’t want my dream defeated either.

Joe, you didn’t post my entire question….and it wasn’t to you….it was to zzbuc and FYI I wasn’t criticizing you for not mentioning Schnell’s re-appearance….merely trying to clarify. I’m happy to make that clear.

B.A. is in it to win it. He knows he has as good a chance as any head coach to hoist the Lombardi Trophy this year hear in Tompa Bay.
August 25th, 2020 at 7:40 pm
The GOAT had to smile at that. I swear I wish we had some pics or video.
August 25th, 2020 at 10:18 pm
People think just because a coach curse a lot doesn’t mean he’s a good coach . Just like Terry Bradshaw said he really don’t want to coach anyone so that’s why he moved on from Jamies and brought in Brady so he doesn’t have to coach and he can say he won a superbowl . That’s why I really hope we win a superbowl so he can just leave . If we make it to the Nfc championship and lose he will come back . If we lose the superbowl he will come back . So I hope we please win so he can leave .

BA knows 2020 is his last hurrah to win the big one. Covid situation actually plays to benefit of BA and Bucs. Brady is the defacto coach-on-the-field for offense. And this weird year should benefit the Bucs with GOAT QB leading/coaching the team for the cart-riding Bucs HC. All teams are strained for practices, and we have the GOAT leading/coaching our offense, and a rising D. Advantage – BUCS.

Too much hype… calculated before practice?
August 25th, 2020 at 11:15 pm
@Mike – No idea about too much hype. Bucs are the darlings of must-watch TV because of Brady. Great team and talent with amazing new QB.
BA’s team’s always have stupid penalties. Hmmn.
Last year, I CRINGED when BA threw red challenge flags for PI, just for BA to say FU to the league when it was obvious the play would not be overturned. but he made his point, and his wife tweeted on his behalf. But – the team suffered….
Weird that no one called out BA’s hubris when we lost the TN game and others when we did not have a challenge option because the fat man was trying to make a an un-winnable point. Hope that golf-cart man has learned….
