Sharp Lenny, Bubble Wrap Lenny
August 20th, 2022
Joe probably should have had an EKG when Bucs stud running back Leonard Fournette started tonight’s meaningless preseason game and took the opening handoff up the gut for 10 yards.
Nice run. He looked great. Now get him the heck out of the game!
But the Bucs kept working Playoff Lenny. He finished looking ready for opening day with with five carries for 20 yards and two catches for six yards.
It’s officially official. The early-summer nonsense that Playoff Lenny was too fat for success was nothing more than the musings of a donut-loving reporter.
With Giovani Bernard nursing an injury suffered on Aug. 13 and Rachaad White looking a little shaky, the Bucs really need to put Fournette in bubble wrap and end his preseason.
Does any Bucs fan really want to see Fournette on the Indianapolis dome turf next week? Keep in mind the Rams won the Super Bowl last season without playing any starters in preseason. And the Bucs won the previous Super Bowl in a season that had no preseason.
Joe just wants Playoff Lenny staying in shape in practice and throwing the occasional right hook. No need for another meaningless preseason snap.

So Rick Stroud is a donut lover? Can’t blame him.

Good idea Joe. White looked good, too.

I think White would have a huge season if he was starting, but I still don’t want him out there blocking for Brady, just a bias against rookies.
With all the injuries they’re having, if there was any thought that the Bucs might play some starters, I’m guessing they’re changing the plan.

Another stupid decision by the Bucs staff. Why the hell is he playing against beer truck drivers ?!?

Man you guys are gonna eat some serious crow this year
White will be contributor as a rookie. Watch. He had 1 fumble last year in college but his own team recovered. He will get the gitters out
Dude should already beat out darden for returner.

Wow… looking at the final stat sheet…
Bucs had 81 net passing yards, only completed 14 passes all night. Yikes.

Uh Gisele just left a message at One Buc Place, her husband is not coming back.

White is going to be a really good running back. He will learn from the fumble.
Lenny should not have played. I don’t think any of our starters should play the next exhibition game against Indy. We need to keep as many healthy as we can for real football which starts Sept. 11.

Where Brady?

HC,
He’s right after the missing state of being verb: is.

He may very well have asked to play in the game. Mike Evans wants to play in one preseason game, maybe Lombardi Lenny is of the same mindset?
