Calijah Kancey Enjoyed Facing An Enemy

August 22nd, 2024

Stay healthy please.

With the third worthless preseason game tomorrow night, Bucs stud defensive tackle Calijah Kancey may see his first game-type action.

Oh, Joe guesses had he not been hurt, Kancey could have played in one of the two previous worthless preseason games. But since most starters did not play, it is doubtful.

So yesterday facing the Dolphins in a joint practice, Kancey admitted he was stoked. Finally he didn’t have to beat up on Graham Barton or Robert Hainsey or Ben Bredeson or Cody Mauch.

“Really just seeing something different,” Kancey said about what he liked about returning to the practice field. “Those guys [Dolphins offensive line] are actually moving up front, laterally.

“Lining up in front of a different helmet, other than our guys, not knowing what to expect. The first time going against them, [I was] trying to watch a little film from when we scrimmaged like two years ago, I believe, and their last preseason game.

“Going against them and getting the physical reps, I think it was awesome.”

That may be the first time Joe ever heard of a player studying game film to prepare for a joint practice. Now that’s dedication.

Joe really believes Kancey is going to explode this season. So far through his first two training camps, he has missed considerable time with injuries.

Joe doesn’t pretend to know what’s up with that. But Joe does know for this defense to be stout, Kancey has to stay healthy.

    Dude has that look about him in his interviews. Kind of like Sapp did in the beginning. Will be interesting to see how CK handles the spotlight should he demand the attention of a playmaker.

    Love the fact that are new era of Bucs are not the doctor Jeckel Mr. Hyde of yesteryear.

    You know, The QB Killer and your favorite player, Mr. Derrik (Rogers) Brooks.

    This new brand of Bucs ball is so so much more satisfying. A bunch of LVDs in the house! Character, Class and Champion are a wonderful combination for a foundation.

    Very excited to see Kancey dominate the LOS.

    Too fragile

  4. Buc4evr Says:

    Yeah, I worried about Kancey. The guy seems injury prone. Wonder if he can make it through the season without missing games?

  5. Fred McNeil Says:

    If I remember right…after Kansey came back from injury he was fine for the rest of the year. Maybe this year will be the same.

  6. GoneGator Says:

    What happened to defensive notes from yesterday’s practice?

    Let’s hold off on the injury prone label. Where is that from. Guy was juiced up for his first camp last year, strained something missed 4 games. That’s it! Relax. For all we know he had some tightness and the Bucs said why don’t you just stay outta practice, do some body maintenance and get ready for Miami then week 1.

    Yeah yeah, soft camp, need reps. Kancey will be fine. He misses 6 games this year and then you wanna start wondering if he’s injury prone fine.
