Bruce Arians Wants Bucs Embracing Basics “Challenge”
July 17th, 2021
Training camp kicks off in eight short days!
Joe’s been doing pushups, sit-ups and drinking the finest Big Storm beer in preparation, and listening to Bucco Bruce Arians.
Speaking to Silver Solutions, Arians explained his approach with the Bucs entering 2021.
“We have to go back to basics,” Arians noted, adding that his minicamp plan was about pretending the entire starting roster isn’t returning. “Put in the snap count like you never heard that before,” he explained.
Starting from scratch doesn’t mean a lack of confidence, it’s a mentality, Arians said. “We should be able to pick up where we left off and got off to a great start. But we have to embrace the challenge of going back to the beginning.”
Arians’ goal could be a tough sell to a veteran team that has a White House visit and a ring ceremony next week — right before they embrace the 100-degree heat index of training camp.
Successfully injecting a back-to-basics mentality might take time with this group. Well, no, Joe takes that back, Tom Brady is still here.

One reason Tom Brady has so many Super Bowl Rings is because he is a wonderful motivator and leader.
We can all rest assured that Brady will have them ready to play.

TB12 is addicted to winning
He’ll do whatever it takes to get his fix

I cannot see Tom Brady or JPP allowing this team to become complacent

unfortunately there is massive story about Brady and Bucs on front page of Fox news in essence we lied to the league every week in regards to TB12 health status. Brady had the fully torn mcl we never divulged. Even I knew it was a requirement to get honest on injuries. cannot imagine Brady revealed all this to Tampa Bay Times for no reason.

Brady won’t let them slack off.

Don’t think this team has the collective mind set, particularly with TB12 at the helm, to get complacent. If BA says we’re taking it from the top, let’s go, they will jump. They’ve been to the promised land and should be very comfortable knowing TB12 knows how to get them back there again.

I highly doubt BA will have a hard time selling anything to his players.

Well said gp!

Arians is the one who told every1 abt knee surgery not Brady right after superbowl. Clyde Christensen in June said Brady wasnt right all year and is expecting big year from him because his knee is repaired. Bucs coaches leaked the story not Brady. Bucs are a mickey mouse organization. I know Brady is not happy with this. Now Brady name is being run through the mud thanks to these 2 clowns

How do you think Brady won all of his Super Bowl rings? It sure wasn’t coming back the next year and thinking he didn’t need to improve or just think come week he’ll turn on the go button and be amazing. He’ll do his part to push everyone. I’m more worried about the young guys thinking they’re great and don’t need to work. I saw White give an interview and he said he didn’t stop his training or working out so he didn’t have to start over once everything kicked off. Leader of the O is ready and the leader of the D is ready. Push em hard and get em 100% ready for the season.

What is the league going to do? Take away the Lombardi. Relax Bucs will say they never knew how bad the injury was and Brady will say. A. I didn’t know how bad it was until after the Superbowl or B. I thought it was just a lingering sprain. It’s all good!!

Tom Brady is one of best get back to the basics guy ever! Things got away from him last year because he was learning the play book and players. Mistakes and penalties abounded until they maxed out in the Bears game, then looked how quickly they got that under wraps! You best believe Mr 7 Rings had something to do with it!

Back to the basics……
Legendary Head Coach Vince Lombardi would start training camp for his World Champion Packers teams with….
“Men This Is A Football”
It is always about being fundamentally sound. It does not get ore basic then “Men this is a Football”.
The Bucs are in good hands with this coaching staff and Brady.
GO BUCS!!!!!!

On not reporting an injury: the spirit of the rule is to prevent insider information of an injury result in unfair bets against the team with the injured player. In other words if you know there is a significant injury, but the rest of the world does not know that, you can bet against that team and have an unfair edge. Seeing that Tom Brady’s injury did not affect him that much and the Bucs even won the SB – there is little beef the NFL will have with the situation.

There are very few things to worry about with this team.
Focus and motivation are not among my fears.
First and foremost…INJURIES! They are the wild card. Obviously Brady but what if Vea, White and LVD had to miss a game.
How about Ali and Donovan and Cappa all out..happened to the Chiefs can happen to us.
Next to injuries…my major fear…is simple luck. The NFL is extremely balanced and when the good teams truly compete it can sometimes come down to a bounce or bad call.
Our locker room is not an issue!
