AllYouNeedIsLovie 377 Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) Just wanted to give a shoutout to our o-line coach, Bob Bostad, and our o-line. These guys have been playing great, even with Nicks and Joseph down. Penn is the only guy who is still at the position he was in week 1 and Bostad has done an excellent job with this unit. Guys I bashed early on in the year like Meredith and Larsen are playing well, and Dotson has done excellent job taking over Trueblood's spot, although I expected that after watching him in the pre-season Also, props to Lavaonte David. He may be our best rookie. Dude has been playing out of his mind. He's our best tackler and I think ranks 3rd in TFL. It's a good time to be a Bucs fan. The future is bright, my friends.

AllYouNeedIsLovie 377 Posted November 12, 2012 Wow, where'd you hear that? I thought Schiano said he was OK yesterday? That would be awful if that ended his career. I know he may not be a fan favorite for us Bucs fans, but this would still be awful news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bucman 891 Posted November 12, 2012 Schiano said he was okay, but has nerve damage and no feeling in his left arm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Franchise 5 1 Posted November 13, 2012 Bucs placed SLB Quincy Black (neck) on injured reserve, ending his season. Black was hospitalized and suffered complications with his left arm. The injury is not believed to be career-threatening, but the Bucs obviously believed it will be awhile before he returns to form. Black was Tampa Bay's least effective starting linebacker through nine games, playing less than half the snaps of rookie Lavonte David. He will be in the third year of a five-year contract in 2013. Time to step it up, Dekota Watson & Adam Hayward. Hopefully Mason Foster & Lavonte David can take the load off their back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllYouNeedIsLovie 377 Posted November 13, 2012 I'm excited that Dekota Watson is going to get a real good chance at showing what he can do at LB. I really like the kid, he can get after the QB too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSUViking 505 Posted November 19, 2012 Congrats on Martin for hitting 1,000 yards (exactly 1,000 yards according to NFL.com) for the first time in his 1-year career. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllYouNeedIsLovie 377 Posted November 19, 2012 Congrats on Martin for hitting 1,000 yards (exactly 1,000 yards according to NFL.com) for the first time in his 1-year career. Yep, I am pretty sure he also leads all RB's in total yards from schrimage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSUViking 505 Posted November 19, 2012 Yep, I am pretty sure he also leads all RB's in total yards from schrimage. Doug Martin is going to be great in this league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Milla4Prez63 678 Posted November 19, 2012 Yep, I am pretty sure he also leads all RB's in total yards from schrimage. He leads the whole league in yards from scrimmage I'm pretty sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllYouNeedIsLovie 377 Posted December 3, 2012 Our chances at the playoffs aren't looking too good after we lost and the Seahawks won today... Obviously, we still have a shot, but we'd probably need to win out and even then, that wouldn't guarantee it. It's gonna be very tough... With that being said, what is our biggest need this off-season? Pass Rusher or CB? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Milla4Prez63 678 Posted December 26, 2012 Our season has gone down the toliet pretty quickly, but going into a meaningless last game there is some things to keep an eye on. -With 157 passing yards, Josh Freeman will become the first ever Bucs QB to throw for 4,000 yards in a season. He already broke the record for most passing yards in a season in franchise history, which was previously held by Brad Johnson in 2003. -If he throws one TD pass, he'll break Johnson's 2003 record for TD passes in a season at 27. One more TD pass would also give him 78 on his career, which would pass Vinny Testaverde for number one in franchise history. -Doug Martin would need 233 yards Sunday to pass James Wilder's 1984 record for rushing yards in a season. Unlikely, but not impossible. -With 89 more receiving yards, Vincent Jackson will break Mark Carrier's 1989 record for receiving yards in a season in franchise history. -Mike Williams needs 69 more receiving yards to have his first career 1,000 yard season. If Williams were to reach this mark, he and Jackson would be the first duo of receivers to have 1,000 yard seasons in the same year in franchise history. He would also join the short list of players to have 1,000 yard receiving seasons in franchise history that includes Mark Carrier, Vincent Jackson, Joey Galloway, Keyshawn Johnson, Antonio Bryant, Michael Clayton, Kevin House, Keenan McCardell and Bruce Hill.

AllYouNeedIsLovie 377 Posted December 26, 2012 Yea, the offense has done some special things this year. Imagine it next year when Nicks and Joseph are healthy and we possibly add another weapon through the draft or FA. Hilarious that most Bucs fans think Freeman sucks now.

Bucman 891 Posted January 10, 2013 Sounds like Ron Cooper is on the way out, hopefully it doesn't stop there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Milla4Prez63 678 Posted January 11, 2013 That is 3 position coaches to replace then, since Ron Turner and P.J. Fleck left for college HC gigs. I expect John McNulty to end up on the staff, likely as WR coach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bucman 891 Posted January 12, 2013 Hopefully John McNulty is a better WR coach then QB coach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BucD+ 648 Posted January 12, 2013 What makes you say McNulty is a bad QB coach? I'd say the problem in Arizona was that the QBs were absolute trash and had no business even being in the league as backups much less starters...except MAYBE Kolb... But I agree that regardless of position, McNulty, will be on the staff... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bucman 891 Posted January 12, 2013 Could say the same for Cooper, he had nothing to work with here. Regardless, Skelton regressed this year in Arizona. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bucman 891 Posted January 12, 2013 I included Wright in that. Talib was traded to fast to make a real judgement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Milla4Prez63 678 Posted January 12, 2013 My guess is McNulty would come on as a WR coach anyways because that is what he has the most experience with. He was pretty much given the QB coach job with the Cardinals as a BS promotion to keep him happy after blocking him from being our OC last year. I'm (semi) interested in seeing who Schiano hires to fill out the staff, but I'm guessing they'll wait for the Senior Bowl. I half-hope we fire Sheridan, but it doesn't sound like that will happen.

Milla4Prez63 678 Posted January 15, 2013 V-Jax is in the Pro Bowl, replacing Megatron who won't play with an injury. If the 49ers win on Sunday, Doug Martin and Ronde Barber will join him and Gerald McCoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
