“It Would Have Been A Great Play If He Wasn’t Sacked.”
August 15th, 2024
“Coach just popped your balloon, Kyle.”
Great response by Todd Bowles today.
Fresh off the cupcake, no-pads practice field in Jacksonville after light work against the Jaguars, Bowles was asked about a deep connection in practice from Kyle Trask to Trey Palmer.
“It would have been a great play if he wasn’t sacked,” Bowles said, referring to Trask.
No knock at the reporter asking the question. Joe’s just applauding how one line from Bowles put a bullet hole in so much August reporting from training camps across the NFL.
Much of what happens is not football reality. Completions are really sacks. Sacks often are a function of quarterbacks hanging in the pocket because they know they can’t get hit.
There was no forceful touching allowed in today’s underwear football session, and no tackling was the rule yesterday.
Runs in training camp aren’t really runs. And Joe has witnessed Bucs defensive linemen clearly not going top speed at times.
Bring on real football!

Bowles is a top 5 most funny coach in the NFL and gets no credit for it.

thanks for confirming it wasn’t real competition, someone tried to tell me otherwise

I’m not a Gator nutcase but so far I think Trask has had a very good camp. If Baker gets hurt I think we could win games with him.
August 15th, 2024 at 12:44 pm
Do the starters now play some this week?
August 15th, 2024 at 12:51 pm
😂😂😂😂 “ No forceful touching “
Bwahahahahaa

Trask sacked. What a surprise. The boy has the field vision of Mr. Magoo and processes the action at the speed of smell. At least he doesn’t run as well as Mike Glennon.

Coach Bowles cracks me up sometimes – “It would have been a great play if he wasn’t sacked,” Bowles said, referring to Trask. He is getting more vocal.
Trask seems to be doing okay. Guessing he will be the number one backup to Baker.
August 15th, 2024 at 1:10 pm
Bowles is noticeably looser, I wonder if he went on a Aaron Rodgers South American mind expanding quest 😉

Trask continues to get disrespected
August 15th, 2024 at 2:11 pm
Not really. It’s his fanboiz with his name in their handle who are being disrespected.
August 15th, 2024 at 2:29 pm
Can you imagine how embarrassing it would be to have a JBF handle such as “Mostly Peaceful Logan Hall Fan”? I realize Hall has played in 30 more NFL games than Trask, so it wouldn’t be quite as embarrassing as the real life guy on here.

@Joe in Michigan
Execpt the only significant thing Logan Hall has ever done in those 30 starts was end the career of an amazing player. He’s been a net negative
August 15th, 2024 at 3:42 pm
Nice one Joe in Mich.
August 15th, 2024 at 3:47 pm
Sometimes a bite into reality can taste like disrespect!! Nothing personal.

I’m a gator and a trask hopeful.
He takes a long time, that’s his problem from day one. It’s why Mullen went for franks Imo.
It’s inconsistent with the style of play in the nfl including the bucs offense.
He doesn’t run the bucs offense well
Time will tell

Here is the Bucs chances to recap a wasted second round pick….JJ McCarththy out up in Viking land…. Trade Trask for a 2nd rounder or an Edge Rusher.
All you Trask fans that thinks he is a starting QB, here is a perfect example to see what the market thinks of him.
August 15th, 2024 at 5:13 pm
That’s an awesome one-liner. Thanks, Joe
August 15th, 2024 at 5:20 pm
If JL tried to trade Trask now (LOL) he’d get dead crickets offered. Why would anyone give up anything for a nice feel good story with no NFL production in four years?
And obviously if Baker goes down, someone needs to take the snaps. I was hopeful about Wolford but now not so much after his ragged Training Camp.
Stay healthy, Baker. Please.
August 15th, 2024 at 5:40 pm
Trask has made some real progress this season.
Im glad to see it.
August 15th, 2024 at 6:16 pm
“up in Viking land…. Trade Trask for a 2nd rounder or an Edge Rusher.”
No way Trask brings a 2nd rounder…..and from what I’ve heard (granted not a lot but some) Darnold is having a great training camp and seems pretty well settled in at starter.
August 15th, 2024 at 6:22 pm
Good point Joe …… if it mattered
August 15th, 2024 at 6:37 pm
Trask, lol.
August 15th, 2024 at 6:38 pm
I also would be ok with Trask if Baker got hurt
August 15th, 2024 at 7:30 pm
Mr.magoo how funny is that keepem coming
August 15th, 2024 at 7:33 pm
Getting dog says well Darnold better be ready since McCarthy is gone for season I wondered if McCarthy was injuries prone
August 15th, 2024 at 8:35 pm
For all of you trask hatters I don’t wish nothing bad to happen to baker but if he gets hurt and trask comes in he will be successful and when he is I hope y’all will become fans of another team and don’t jump on the fan wagon like you believed in trask all along

Gotti—- I was being sarcastic. There is not a team in the NFL that rates Trask as a NFL starter. It is only The Traskites on here.
I think he is a good guy and good team mate but will not be a Starter in the NFL

Well said Mike, I’m just sitting over here reading articles and smiling.
August 15th, 2024 at 9:14 pm
Mike with one of the worst takes this year.
August 15th, 2024 at 9:40 pm
Trask wouldn’t beat out Darnold. Why in the world would the Vikings trade a 2nd for a backup?
If the Viked called Licht offering that, he should take it and run.
August 15th, 2024 at 10:14 pm
If the impossible happened and Trask came in for Baker and lit it up and took the job (ha hahaha hahaha Haaaah), I would be ecstatic and will host the biggest boiled crow feed in history.
I’m a Buc fan first. Baker clearly gives the Bucs the best chance to win. Don’t yell at me, yell at Todd, Jason and Liam. I don’t decide.
But if Baker does go down heaven forbid, and Trask does come in, a great outcome would be Mike Glennon 2013. That’s the ceiling.
Again what you Trashkophiles forget – we don’t decide who starts. So you’re yelling at the wrong people. Take your pitchforks over to One Buc Place and don’t leave until you’re thrown in jail.

Bakers got a strong constitution. I’ve watched him for 10 years. Hasn’t ever missed a game with a leg injury. Had surgery on his non throwing shoulder. Some rib injuries. Some sprains and lots of contusions. Played through all of them. If he gets knocked out a few games we’ve got a solid couple of guys who might be studying their playbooks right now. This offense is playing fast no matter who’s taking the snaps.
August 16th, 2024 at 6:41 am
Baker has completed many throws this summer that would have been sacks, they don’t get an article like this though, weird!
August 16th, 2024 at 9:40 am
J McCosh: Yes, The Man is holding Trask down. 🙄
August 16th, 2024 at 10:28 am
Trask? 6th round conditional, maybe…
August 16th, 2024 at 12:54 pm
That was an epic response Dave Pear !! Well done
August 17th, 2024 at 6:27 am
Dave queer. Shut up if Baker gets hurt and Trask comes in ball out you will start 😂. Baker Mayfield must be your daddy lol 🤣🤣!!
