“We Don’t Need Any New Players”
November 11th, 2024
Don’t you dare imply to Todd Bowles that his roster could use an upgrade.
He doesn’t want to hear it.
The Bucs have all the talent they need to win.
“We don’t need any new players. No doubt about it,” Bowles said today. “If we stop making the mistakes that we’re making, we’re in every game at the end, we gotta turn it around and turn the losses into wins.”
Joe can’t argue much with Bowles here. The Bucs are 4-6 but easily could have two more wins under their belts. They’ve lost two games in overtime and then there was yesterday’s blown fourth-quarter lead and blown shot to put the game away late.
The Bucs may not need new players, but they sure need old players. The majority of wide receiver snaps yesterday went to Ryan Miller and Rakim Jarrett. That’s quite a giant step down from Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
Hopefully, Evans returns in New Jersey against the Giants on Nov. 24, following this week’s bye.
In the meantime, Bowles will take his coaches and players back to the lab to get the defense right, and more.
November 11th, 2024 at 3:17 pm
Bowles is likely right. We don’t need new players. What we need is a new HC to teach the ones we already have.
November 11th, 2024 at 3:24 pm
It is coaching, not players.
November 11th, 2024 at 3:25 pm
Right, we just need good players.
Looking at you Jason Licht…
November 11th, 2024 at 3:25 pm
Then why is there a huge hole in the middle of the field that QB’s have thrown for 2,000 yards and 20 TD’s already this season?
If it’s not the players it’s the scheme.
November 11th, 2024 at 3:28 pm
So it’s coaching right?
November 11th, 2024 at 3:32 pm
Be nice (REAL NICE) if we can take Jalon Walker (LB) out of Georgia with our first pick in the draft, then trade up into the back of the 1st-Round (if he’s still there, after pick 25), & take Deone Walker (DT/some DE too, believe it or not) out of Kentucky… “Walker & Walker” – The “Walker Bros.” Now, THAT would be MY Dream Draft (as of right now). Need some draft capital to accomplish it and a little luck. Try moving Dean & Vea this off season (and seriously consider ME and RWhite (if they’re not going to ‘re-sign’ him anyway)). Those 2 would fit nicely together, VERY NICELY!!!!
November 11th, 2024 at 3:37 pm
Set this Defense up for long-term success… I’m talkin’ World BEATERS!!!! We already have our “Play-Caller” & future Head Coach.
November 11th, 2024 at 3:37 pm
About about our rookie WR ? Where has he bin the last 2 games. I can’t spell his name. lol #15. Also not much of Palmer out there either.
November 11th, 2024 at 3:40 pm
They are BOTH, only 20-Years Old… Just. DISGUSTING.
November 11th, 2024 at 3:46 pm
4-6. Coach Bowles is right. We’re all good here. (sarcasm)
November 11th, 2024 at 3:55 pm
Actually agree with Bowles for once lol, the overall talent level of the players is definitely not the issue.
November 11th, 2024 at 3:55 pm
There is an incredible talent deficiency on Bucs defense. Generally, the back 7 is slow and poor tacklers. The front four needs a legitimate EDGE rusher. If Bowles doesn’t want to see it, I am sure it is apparent to Licht.
November 11th, 2024 at 3:58 pm
There’s a site pontiff who assures us that it’s the GM’s fault. So this is just Lovie lying to everyone to cover for Jason. Makes sense. LOL. Saint Lovie is going a dandy job. Sure.
Either way, Lovie just tripled down on the theory most sane fans carry as to the primary and secondary root cause of the Bucs’ defensive suckage. That cause shall soon be a college professor, or a grill outlet mogul. His football days are already done, Jason and the Glazers are going to let the bed totally fill up with sewage to leave no doubt about their next action.
November 11th, 2024 at 4:06 pm
“We’re in every game at the end.”
Just in time for Bowles to give up the booty.
November 11th, 2024 at 4:12 pm
Evans will be double teamed, opponents might cover him during the national anthem. The other WR’s cannot get separation except tor Shepard on a 7 yard out.
November 11th, 2024 at 4:18 pm
GO GET BELICHICK
November 11th, 2024 at 4:20 pm
It’s too late so I don’t understand the agenda of this article other than its irrelevance to today.
November 11th, 2024 at 4:32 pm
If your not always trying to improve your top 53 then your a losing coach. Every season we have come out of the gates hot only to get complacent through the middle of the season. This is Todd Bowles fault period. If he can’t teach communication which he’s always harping on and can’t motivate his team then someone else will. Good teams find ways to win and immature teams find ways to loose.
November 11th, 2024 at 4:36 pm
Wouldn’t it be something if Belichick wants to get back into coaching but not as a HC. As a DC. imagine promoting Coen to HC and having Belichick as his DC. Can you think of a better mentor to have as a new HC. Yes, I know, I’m dreaming, but at this stage of the season it’s about the only thing Bucs fans have left.
BTW. Major props to our very own Dave Pear. That guy has been banging-on about Bowles crappy defense for ages. Turns out he was right.
November 11th, 2024 at 4:38 pm
Haha yep, that’s the problem with Bowles right there. Happy for the game to be close in the last 5 mins. Hey we are in the game, must be doing the right things. How about trying to be up 10-14 points at the end of games? Then your D wouldn’t be able to blow it.
November 11th, 2024 at 4:39 pm
It doesn’t matter if you lose HOF players or 1st team ALL-PRO players, it makes no difference if you replace them with some scrub from the practice squad, they’re all the same!
No trades. No signing former ALL-PRO’s who are on the waivers. Nope, just stand by with your trash players because it’s NEXT MAN UP!
November 11th, 2024 at 4:39 pm
We will at the end of the season:
Lavonte David isn’t going to put himself through this again.
Godwin suffered a Paris Warren type of injury in the contract year. He’s done as a Buccaneer.
We still need pass rush.
We still need CBs.
We still need a Head Coach.
November 11th, 2024 at 4:39 pm
With that being said… Bowles is the problem
November 11th, 2024 at 4:55 pm
Jason Licht: “Hey Todd, you want me to sign someone”
Todd Bowles: “Nah – we’re good.”
Jason Licht: “ok” – facepalm.
This is on Bowles. With that, he now owns this, too.
November 11th, 2024 at 5:04 pm
“We don’t need any new players.
Perfect because it’s your hand picked roster, just means we need a new head coach. If Todd Bowles wanted a free agent edge rusher or inside linebacker licht would have given him one. Bowles said he wanted more beef on the o line licht gave it to him. Record is no different than we you had a fully healthy roster so this time last year so on it fella
November 11th, 2024 at 5:05 pm
Could it be said players are not capable of stopping their mistakes?
November 11th, 2024 at 5:11 pm
Bowles and Licht are just clowns if they really believe that nonesense.
November 11th, 2024 at 5:15 pm
Stupid players on D there not getting it
November 11th, 2024 at 5:26 pm
This is where they could use more veterans on the D also other than Lavonte. JPP, Suh & Shaq are all gone now & they could really use them now. Especially with their experience just like Lavonte.
November 11th, 2024 at 5:30 pm
Total BS.This team needs better talent on the defense and of course a new head coach. Stubborn idiot will be gone next season.
November 11th, 2024 at 5:33 pm
There is not a single quality pass rusher on this team, even with everyone healthy. Just another example of arrogant Bowles not feeling the need to give an honest answer. How dare anyone question him.
November 11th, 2024 at 5:34 pm
Oh the ignorance and arrogance! So you’re good with Britt, Funderburk, Hayes, JTS Hall, Dean, and even Winfield playing like sh#t since he got paid. The middle of the field has been wide ass open since he’s been the coach.
November 11th, 2024 at 5:37 pm
@Buc4evr
It’s just amazing how they’re just struggling on D with some of the players on it. Between Lavonte, Vita, Kancey, Whitehead, Winfield, Yaya, Tykee, McCollum & Izien there’s a decent amount of talent there. I think somebody else might need to take over because there’s no way he should have the D where they are right now.
November 11th, 2024 at 5:47 pm
The fact that the Bucs offense can still ball is a testament to the OC and quarterback. The fact that the so-called “defensive gurus” defense sucks is a testament to the HC. Next year we need a premier receiver, defensive backfield and an edge rusher as well as the OC and HC dealt with appropriately.
November 11th, 2024 at 5:54 pm
I bet another coach can fix JTS and Yaya the guys have all the physical skills it’s just not there mentally
November 11th, 2024 at 5:58 pm
@Tony,
Vita, LVD, Winfield and McCollum are the backbone of the defense. YaYa and Kancy have shown some flashes and will continue to develop. I’m not sold on Izien or Smith. Bucs need some good CBs, Fast LBs and real muscle on the Dline.
Guys like Hayes, Dean, Britt, JTS, Hall need to be gone. Gaines, Gholston, Nelson are good backups but not starters. Funderbunk or whatever his name is should not have ever have been put in the position he was. The guy needs to be on the practice squad. I expect that LVD will retire at the end of the season as he has aged out,so that will put even more pressure on the LB position.
As far as Bowles, he is who we thought he was. Stubborn and unwilling to adjust.
November 11th, 2024 at 6:01 pm
We need a motivational coach. Bowles cannot lift the moral.
November 11th, 2024 at 6:03 pm
Fact Check…True. All we need is a new Head Coach. Bowles wins a Cookie.
November 11th, 2024 at 6:14 pm
@Buc4evr
I agree. I think Funderburk has the talent to be decent but he just needs time. He was basically just thrown in there. Yaya & Kancey can definitely be good. I never cared for Britt, Tryon, Hayes or Dean coming out & I was torn on Logan. That’s why they need to trade down some in the draft & build the team because that’s the only way they’re gonna be able to if they wanna be cheap & if they don’t wanna go out & sign anybody this offseason.

I legit believe the Glazers have basically told Licht to give Bowles whatever he wants, since he’s very much on the hot seat and I really do think the Glazers are wanting to give him every opportunity to sink or swim on his own.
With that said, the rest of the season record is so easy, it really would not be shocking if the team goes on a big run here and ends with 9 or 10 wins and even makes the playoffs.

I agree. I think Funderburk has the talent to be decent but he just needs time.
—————
To my eye, from seeing him so far, like most of the Bucs players that Todd loves so much, he looks too slow. At the same time, he’s an UDFA rookie who no one should be counting on playing this early. He might not be as slow as he looks, it might be more about hesitating because he’s, well, an UDFA rookie.
But the Bucs are counting on way too many guys who just look very slow. The worst of course is sorry a– KJ Britt who is terrible, and should not be on any NFL roster, and certainly not starting. I think he’s down to running about a 5.2 40 at this point.
November 11th, 2024 at 6:26 pm
It’s pretty bad when you use your own tongue as a shovel to dig your career grave.
November 11th, 2024 at 6:28 pm
Coach Bowles just needs to play his best players in crunch time. Bucky Irving is money. Play the man coach.
November 11th, 2024 at 6:31 pm
Seattle just cut Tyrel Dodson. Was there starting MLB, lead the team in tackles. Worth a shot if we can get him on waivers.
November 11th, 2024 at 6:34 pm
I actually think we have decent defensive players when healthy. You cannot have superstars at all positions.
Coaching and injuries are what kills the team.
November 11th, 2024 at 6:37 pm
Gipper … ‘There is an incredible talent deficiency on Bucs defense. Generally, the back 7 is slow and poor tacklers. The front four needs a legitimate EDGE rusher.’
BINGO! What else did anyone expect Bowles to say except ‘Our guys are our guys’. The trade deadline is past, and we got what we got. Every play this defense has at least 2-3 guys out there who should be on the Practice Squad instead of being on the field. Racking up yardage against a defense like that is a piece of cake for NFL OCs with decent players.
This defense is #28 in Points Allowed for a reason: we’re trying to play an 11-man scheme with 8-9 guys. Bowles is modifying the living daylights out of his defensive scheme, but the talent level of this defense sucks & he can’t fix that. The only saving grace now is that the offenses we’re playing after the BYE are currently averaging #24.5 in Points Scored. For comparison, the offenses we played before our BYE averaged #8.5 in Points Scored. Monstrous difference. IF our offense can keep racking up points, Bucs have a good chance to be in virtually every game from here on out.
Yet even if we finish with a winning record, this will have been a wasted season IMO. We’ve lost Chris Godwin (and as someone commented, maybe forever). This defense needs a major infusion of talent to play with the big boys, meaning that we’ll have wasted a bunch of def snaps this season on guys who won’t be here next season.

————-
You have a complete trash LT in there who is going to get Baker killed if he’s trying to block Bosa 1-on-1. White was in the game since you needed help with blocking, and Bucky isn’t a good blocker.
Also I highly doubt Bowles had anything to do with the offense.
November 11th, 2024 at 6:42 pm
Defense Rules – Who is responsible for not bringing Devin White back? I refuse to believe it was Jason Licht looking at the roster, saying, no KJ Britt is amazing, just stick with him. That’s on Todd Bowles and for whatever reason he doesn’t like White.
Who was responsible for trading away Carlton Davis? Again, that’s a Bowles call. He knew he was going to play this trash garbage super soft zone, and you don’t need an expensive man-to-man corner if they’re just going to be standing around. Also, like White, Davis made the mistake of criticizing Bowles and his trash zone defense.
While I completely agree that I’m not really sure what Bowles is supposed to do when you’re literally starting a 7th string corner – the lack of depth to a large degree is on Bowles. The guys out there now are HIS guys, the ones he wanted. And maybe they’re great locker room guys or whatever, but they’re trash on the field, generally all too slow as well.

Interesting. Why did they put him on waivers?
He’s not great, but he’s young. Healthy.

Rod Munch Says:

Was it? Probably.
I think Licht went to him and made him choose between the two. Big mistake.
November 11th, 2024 at 6:45 pm
But the Bucs did get a new player – we made the big move at punter. I can’t believe everyone just acts like that huge move never happened.
November 11th, 2024 at 6:49 pm
@Rod Munch
Any idea why they got rid of our punter? Wasn’t he the one with great ball placement? Or am I confusing him with the current guy?
November 11th, 2024 at 7:00 pm
@RodMunch. Funderburke isn’t slow, runs a 4.4 – 40. But he probably looks slow as he loses the ball and has trouble adjusting. He spends too much time watching the receivers face and not finding the ball inflight. He gets turned around as he over commits too early. The guy should never have been put in the position he was. He just isn’t ready and needs a year on the practice squad. Don’t think he will ever be a starter, maybe a backup or special teamer. Todd should have signed a FA or gotten someone else off a practice squad instead of starting a UDFA from a small school. Todd is such a stubborn dumbazz. lol.
November 11th, 2024 at 7:09 pm
@Rod Munch
Yeah that’s what I think part of the problem is with Funderburk right now. He was thrown in there right away & never had any time to develop. They should still consider hanging onto him but let him develop, too! Look at McCollum. He looks like he’s starting to turn everything around now (hopefully). I think that’s all Funderburk needs. Let him sit again & just learn.
November 11th, 2024 at 7:11 pm
Carlton Davis has 1 good game with the Lions then everybody wants him back…..smh
Thats the equivalent of saying we should get Jameis back since he had a good game with the Browns.
The Carlton Davis expirment failed in Tampa post Superbowl. Simple as that, end of story.
November 11th, 2024 at 7:13 pm
@Rod Munch
Just don’t understand why they’re not giving Isaac a chance. They should give him a chance along with Ramirez & Watts when he gets back. Got nothing to really lose right now anyway. They’re probably not going anywhere with all of these injuries.
November 11th, 2024 at 7:16 pm
Maybe we just need to put Bowles in there to play & that’ll take care of the problem. A whole bunch of them are getting injured. So if they do that they can find a new coach then.
November 11th, 2024 at 7:36 pm
They had to give out some big contracts this year. Davis or someone else had to go.
The drive that started with 7:00 minutes left should have been all Bucky.
November 11th, 2024 at 7:48 pm
Bowles already said this earlier before the trade deadline. He had to know Licht would sit on his hands. At least replace Goodwin. Get one good linebacker in to replace White. He did nothing.
November 11th, 2024 at 7:49 pm
Yeah we need a new Head Coach! Why is Bowles still employed by Tampa Bay?
November 11th, 2024 at 7:52 pm
The Pontiff with another apology excuse for Lovie and a finger pointed at Jason. You can’t make it up. Verily or any other way.
November 11th, 2024 at 8:02 pm
Oh, and after Algo Rhythm plays some more site defense, thanks Durango95. I’d be much happier for Lovie to prove me wrong.
November 11th, 2024 at 8:08 pm
At all levels of the D they are terrible ILB needs to be addressed every other position can be coached b/c the Talent is there.
November 11th, 2024 at 8:09 pm
His typical coach speak of refusing to call anyone out publicly.
November 11th, 2024 at 8:20 pm
Talent level is above average, results are below average. Far below average is the defense, which ranks #31. Why the Bucs continue to employ a defensive ‘guru’ as Head Coach, when the defense has declined so badly as to rank at the bottom, is a complete mystery.
November 11th, 2024 at 8:23 pm
A few weeks ago we were talking about a deep run in the playoffs and now most think the defense should be completely blown up…. Way to go Todd…. There is no convincing me he shouldn’t be terminated and i mean immediately !
November 11th, 2024 at 8:28 pm
What’s he gonna say at this point?
the deadline is over.
These are his players! What’s he gonna do…dog someone?
That’s not his style.
November 11th, 2024 at 8:33 pm
White couldn’t hack it here last year, in Philly or in Texas this year. Bring him back? That’s as stupid an idea I’ve seen on this site.
November 11th, 2024 at 8:37 pm
I think our starters are fine. We have a very young team so we don’t have established depth players. For the people who think the team should be blown up you are out of your mind. We have four losses by a combined 20 pts. The Bucs could easily be 8-2 right now and I think a better HC could have us there. Tbh maybe if Bowles just gave up play calling on defense might be what we need idk but for sure it’s not the roster. Now that doesn’t mean we can’t improve the roster and depth but I think our issue right now is our HC/DC.
November 11th, 2024 at 8:39 pm
Said it 30 times on here and it’s true ,, Bowles will go 9-8 and save his job
November 11th, 2024 at 8:53 pm
Nope he s gone you can’t have the 30 th ranked defense and be delusional and he is delusional…… B T W do you think the Glazers didn’t se C Davis actually catch two balls ( Int s) but under Bowles he just couldn’t make plays nor catch the ball and that is coaching and confidence from coaching ……… He Gone !! NFL black head coach pressure can’t overcome his results and delusional comments
November 11th, 2024 at 9:05 pm
Rod Munch … ‘Who is responsible for not bringing Devin White back? I refuse to believe it was Jason Licht looking at the roster, saying, no KJ Britt is amazing, just stick with him. That’s on Todd Bowles and for whatever reason he doesn’t like White.’
Sorry Rod, but it was ALL Jason Licht. He’s paid big bucks to be a GM, and we both know what GM’s get paid to do. To pay the big $$$ for his offense re-signings (Mayfield, Evans, Wirfs) he couldn’t afford to pay Devin White or Carlton Davis. His hands were tied because of the salary CAP situation, and JL chose offense. Bowles went along because he had no choice.
November 11th, 2024 at 9:06 pm
Oh and Rod … Bowles is in exactly the same situation that Tony Dungy was in 2001, except the situation is reversed. Tony’s defense was Top-10, but his offense struggled in the playoffs. Todd’s situation is exactly the opposite.
I still think it’s funny as all git-out that Dungy had the #6 offense/#7 defense in 2000, then the #15 offense/#8 defense in 2001 but couldn’t win in the playoffs and got fired. In comes Gruden who keeps Monte and wins the Super Bowl in 2002 … with the #1 defense (run by Monte) but the #18 offense (run by Chucky). And then all the sheep (such as Fruit Loops) applaud what an offensive genius Chucky is.
November 11th, 2024 at 9:13 pm
zzzzzzzzzzzzz……………
November 11th, 2024 at 9:17 pm
What if Coach Bowles is right ? Why wouldn’t he be right ? He is a coach with Super Bowl winning experience . A coach who has won two NFC South Championships! Coach Bowles hired Liam Coen,Dave Canales and many other great assistant coaches. He was highly recommended by Super Bowl winning Coach Bruce Arians, and hired to he the head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers by the Glazers.
We all knew before the beginning of the 2024 season, the first ten games would be difficult and grueling. But actually, in our 4 wins, we have beaten 3 great football teams. The Washington Commanders (7-3), Detroit Lions (8-1), and the Philadelphia Eagles (7-2). Also we have played very competitively in 4 of our 6 losses but could not close them out.
So I’m not jumping ship. I see the Bucs easily winning the last seven games of the season and getting in the playoffs with an 11-6 record.
Looking forward to watching some wins !
Go Bucs !!
November 11th, 2024 at 9:17 pm
Buc4evr & Tony … Funderburk & Hayes & Isaac need to be on the Practice Squad not in the starting lineup. That’s part of our depth problem.
Back in 2019-2021 we had Kevin Minter … a 1st Rnd pick … as our backup MLB. Today we have KJ Britt … a 5th Rd pick … starting at MLB. Britt should be our depth, not our starter.

Oneilbuc, right on. This post won’t appear for an hour or two after it’s written, sorry it’s buried — but, objective fans who know football agree with you 110%. I wish it weren’t the case. I was all into the idea we had an evolved coach. He’s devolved and done it to the whole team. All the words and excuses and deflections to the GM in the world don’t change reality. Nor does the admission “We don’t need new players.”
Spinning off of that is just tragicomedy.
November 11th, 2024 at 11:00 pm
Remember when all the idiots in the comments here celebrating trading away Carlton Davis? I do.
November 11th, 2024 at 11:04 pm
The guy who just had two interceptions yesterday? His play was severely regressing here last year. So he gets traded and suddenly looked like he did when BA was head coach. Beautiful. We don’t need that here though. Lovie told Jason to offload him.
But it’s the GM’s fault.
November 11th, 2024 at 11:05 pm
Defense Rules Says:
Sorry Rod, but it was ALL Jason Licht. He’s paid big bucks to be a GM, and we both know what GM’s get paid to do
———-
I absolutely do not think Licht is passing on signing Devin White and trading away Carlton Davis – both players who openly complained about how they were being used. That’s Bowles making the call.
As for Licht, as I said above, I believe he’s been told by the Glazers to give Bowles whatever he wants, and let him sink or swim on his own. I think Licht is safe no matter what, he’s already proved what he can do.
With all of that said, the amount of injuries is ridiculous. People whining about things, like it doesn’t matter who is playing WR or CB is just beyond stupid.
November 11th, 2024 at 11:36 pm
This whole thing reminds me of a fishing story. Used to night fish off my dock, my dad’s friend told me to get a light, specifically to attract snook. I’d read they were the elusive salt water version of the muskellunge. Was all pumped, expecting it to be hard. First night I tried, I caught a dock full. Was yanking them in like rock bass. There’s never been a more overrated fish to catch. And they weren’t even good eating. Kind of like the Bucs loser loser head coach and his overrated overhyped defensive? coordinator. Or kind of like Mark “the rebuild is complete” Dumdumnik, one of the worst GMs in the history of the NFL. Or a host of other examples.
Here are the only fact that matter. Jason and the Glazers are aligned at the hip. The Bucs will have a new head coach in January of 2025. 2025 will be an exciting season to be a Bucs fan.
November 11th, 2024 at 11:37 pm
Oh really Todd?
You need 2 OLBs
You need 2 CBs
You need 2 ILBs
You need 2 WRs
Your team sucks.
November 11th, 2024 at 11:37 pm
And Algo Rhythm agrees, hopefully.

Sad to say but Bowles needs to go! Horrendous in game coaching with lil to no adjustments. Appears that the game of football has passed him by

Call me when this “defensive wizard” of a HC is fired. Until then enjoy the weekly train wreck.

Coach Bowles isi n denial. Where is Brasswell or JTS? Where is the pass rush and pass Defense sir? The Glazers will pull the plug on Bowles right after our last game. I’m sure of it.

“But, we “barely” lost several close games, indicating our talent level, scheme, and execution is right where it should be, right? We don’t need no stinkin’ better talent.” – Coach Bowles

That new punter SUCKS. Literally. SUCKS. I don’t know what the hell happened there with all that, but it had to be something!? They should try their damndest to draft the “Walker Bros” (Jalon & Deone). Then, make a move for a proven young(er) EDGE-rusher, who’s just hitting their prime (if/when one is available that you can POUNCE on), & also one ‘lockdown’ corner via free agency!!!! Your new EDGE, Kancey & Deone Walker up front with Yaya, Braswell, Jalon Walker, & Dennis in the middle… Tykee Smith, McCollum, Izien, Winfield Jr, & your new ‘lockdown’ Corner. Hire a young ‘fiery’ DC who can really develop and ‘coach UP’ some Defense (hint hint Robert Saleh), who has a proven track record of coaching up/developing a very young defense, who can now focus SOLELY just on DEFENSE. A 46-year old ‘fiery’ modern day DC and a 39-year old modern day HC/PLAY-CALLER… Bring on the youth movement. Will be LOTS of fun watching them all grow together. It gives them a whole entire season under their belts together, going into the 2026 season before having to make the ‘ultimate’ decision on Baker!!!! Do you extend Baker for $50-$60MIL+, orrrrr do you draft a QB on a new ‘rookie’ deal & re-sign several others currently on the roster that you don’t wanna lose (along with maybe a big ‘move or two’ in free agency, such as a Top-5 WR if available, etc.)… That is when THE REAL ‘decisions’ will be made.

Be easy with the UDFA talk. We all know we’ve seen a bunch of drafted guys who really shouldn’t have been. Young guys no matter where they drafted need time to develop. Throwing players into a game especially with QB’s playing with no guidance is a travesty period. All guys coming from college need to sit and develop behind starters. Hands down, I don’t care who it is!
Knuck if you Buck!

If Saleh didn’t work for the Jets why y’all insistent he comes here? He couldn’t ramp up energy in NY what makes you think coming to the Bay is going to go well for him!
Stop it!
Knuck if you Buck!

As DC BucKnuc. NOT HC. They had a HELLUVA DEFENSE there, that was EXTREMELY YOUNG too, those first two seasons AND he had a great reputation as a Defensive Coach before getting the job. Literally, NO ONE disputes that. And, the “Defense” was not horrible this season either, & was NOT their problem. Plus, they are THE JETS.

They have to DRAFT ‘SOMEBODY’ with their PICKS. So, what then… They should just trade them ALL!? And, I have NEVER heard ANYONE ever say that you should SIT your 1st-ROUND Pick(s) at LB and DT for their ‘first’ season. The reason… Because, they have to PLAY ‘meaningful’ snaps in REAL GAMES to develop and improve. They need GAME speed. They are NOT getting better by SITTING. That is just ludicrous.
