No Jamel Dean For Sunday; Donovan Smith & Tristan Wirfs Are Questionable
December 21st, 2022
Tristan Wirfs
Don’t expect to see starting cornerback Jamel Dean and his bad toe on the field in Arizona on Christmas night.
That was the message from head coach Todd Bowles today.
Ironman left tackle Donovan Smith didn’t practice today because he was getting treatment on his foot, per Bowles, which seems like a new injury for Smith who already is dealing with messed up hands and a lingering elbow problem.
Tristin Wirfs was limited in practice as he works back from his high ankle sprain. Maybe, just maybe, the Bucs get him back to block J.J. Watt on Sunday. That would bring Joe a lot of comfort after Watt’s three-sack game against Denver.

No Colt McCoy…meaning Trace McSwirlie may have a career game.

The secondary is made of glass.
December 21st, 2022 at 3:08 pm
The whole season has been “ questionable “
Now they are going to prolong the agony and play the last game on Sunday

That IBS seems to being going around.

We need a healthy Antoine Winfield……put him in prematurely last week…..Edwards & SMB back will help.
Don’t need Julio if Gage is healthy……Gage can play.

Trainer to Dean – “C’mon, get on the massage table”
Dean “I stay 10 yards away from anything”

The Bucs are in big trouble with arizona.
The cards plan to start a never used third string qb.
The Bucs will be quaking in their collective boots, as they should be.

Still will not be an easy game for our Bucs. Arizona has those 2 words Tampa fears…BACKUP QB. We got this thing about launching Backup QB careers at our expense.
December 21st, 2022 at 3:52 pm
Good Lord, could this get any worse? An untested opposing QB, champing at the bit to make his mark. Missing DBs. Missing OL, although maybe losing Donovan Smith isn’t so bad.
But, this SC Bucs Fan made my day:
Trainer to Dean – “C’mon, get on the massage table”
Dean “I stay 10 yards away from anything”

We had a very good secondary for once early, most noticeable was the Logan Ryan and Weinfield rotation.
December 21st, 2022 at 4:01 pm
SC BUCS FAN, I wouldn’t use the “staying 10 yards away” phrase with Dean. Dean can play.
That’s best used to describe a previous Bucs corner though…
One Vernon Hargreaves, lol!!

Uh-oh. The Cardinals’ QB is set to make his first NFL start. How many 2nd/3rd string or rookie QB’s have beaten us over the years? Too many.
December 21st, 2022 at 4:07 pm
So what difference does it make at this point? The whole team is a disaster and injury prone. Explain to me again why we didn’t bring Suh and JPP back?
December 21st, 2022 at 4:35 pm
how many catches will Hopkins have? Career day for that man.
December 21st, 2022 at 4:53 pm
DS76 sure holds a lot for a guy with bad hands.
December 21st, 2022 at 4:56 pm
Add McSorley to the Buc Hall of Fame of QBs that embarrassed them
December 21st, 2022 at 5:09 pm
Uh, Dean is arguably our best cornerback this year (though he did play terribly against the Niners)

I love some of these humorous comments. I am still chuckling over IBS, altho I forgot who said it first.
December 21st, 2022 at 5:14 pm
Crickett- it was Kentucky. He just spelled it out previously. Still laughing.

My opponent in fantasy football has Hopkins. I feel like resigning even tho it’s a fantasy playoff game. My buc branded lawn chairs will be playing ten ++yards off him in zone and man to man, which is hard to do; and stand no chance of keepin him under 200 yards especially with a no name qb starter. Damit man.
December 21st, 2022 at 5:23 pm
‘DS 76 sure holds a lot for having bad hands.’ Just think how bad it could be if he had ‘good’ hands!
December 21st, 2022 at 5:30 pm
Ironman Donovan Smith? You meant to say turnstile!
December 21st, 2022 at 5:55 pm
Please rest everyone!
December 21st, 2022 at 6:21 pm
If we lose this week we are done.
And fire everyone while you are at it.
No more excuses.

So embarassing that we are subjecting America to the corpse of Brady and our 17 points per game vs Trace McSorely. What an awful terrible game. We will win in uninspiring fashion, something like 14-9 and then we will engage in brain dead conversation that “we have a chance” in the playoffs
December 21st, 2022 at 6:50 pm
Bad teams like Bucs can’t beat horrible teams without all hands on deck. No faith they will beat the cardinals and if anyone from the Bucs organization is reading the comments, it’s not my fault I have no faith in my one and only team in the nfl. The all in talk was a lie
December 21st, 2022 at 7:11 pm
It doesn’t matter. tampa won’t make the playoffs. The sooner we can get rid of brady and leftywtch, the better. Time to move on.
