Running Back Rejection: A Narrative Analysis

Decent Essays
After winning two games in a row, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are now confronted with a tough challenge in Atlanta. The Falcons have been on a role lately, beating the Cowboys impressively at home and the Seahawks in Seattle. Jameis Winston will sit again this week due to his shoulder injury and Ryan Fitzpatrick will get his third consecutive start. Doug Martin will finally have to have a good game again in order for Fitzpatrick to turn into Fitzmagic, which will be necessary if we want to compete in this game. Our defense will have to be stout again, as well. Matt Ryan will pick our secondary apart if we are not able to create a pass rush. Gerald McCoy is a beast, he needs to prove it on Sunday.

    The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are facing uncertain times. The once optimistic state is turning sour at the speed of a stunting defensive lineman. The offense seems off at times, and defensive scheme is not being used to the players strengths. This past off season seemed ripe for the taking, we finally had an offense that could win games. The defense looked good considering the late push it provided last season, now they can't stop anybody.…

    Wentz finished the game completing 12-of-24 passes for 89 yards and an interception. He showed that under pressure he has the taste to throw the ball high but will withstand the big hits. It was great to see that he was comfortable throwing the ball outside the pocket and showed at least a decent amount of accuracy on his throws. He will have to adjust to NFL speed and the defense that isn't as yielding as the FCS.…

    “Not having the starting quarterback this a big deal because they're not going to function well and running the ball but Sam Bradford is showing that he is decent but not the best but if Teddy Bridgewater was in the game he would be able to run and find the Gap store in the Lions defense.” George said. “The Vikings injuries affect the roster because Adrian Peterson and Teddy Bridgewater are their best players and they are injured.” George said. “The injuries are a big effect if they don't have their starting running back in end up starting linebacker in but they could probably get past as they find the gaps through the defensive line and linebacker core.”…

    As we get through OTA's and begin yet another preseason in Tampa Bay, we believe we have the right guys in place on defense. With the acquisitions of Vinny Curry, J.P.P., Mitch Unrein, and Beau Allen added to the defensive line, it adds the depth we have not had in a long time! The line will consist of Gerald McCoy and Vita Vea mainly at the DT position, with Unrein and Allen likely as reserves, but those two, just might end up playing a bigger role than anyone thinks!…

    Unfortunately with three consecutive losses their margin for error if you will has been substantially tightened. The Cowboys have to make a move and have to make one quick, before one of their NFC EAST rivals start to pull too far away in the race, for the Cowboys to possibly even think of making a comeback. There are two major things i personally think that need to be a priority during this bye week. One being that they need to focus on the talent that they have on their current roster and stop focusing on the talent that is injured. One major issue that has been very apparent has been the offensive "vanilla" like play calling.…

    The Buccaneers haven’t exactly kept it a secret that they will spend a lot of time this season running a no-huddle, hurry-up offense. Second year quarterback Jameis Winston and the Bucs offense put together their best game of the preseason against the Cleveland Browns when Tampa ran out of the no-huddle every play the starters were on the field. Head coach Dirk Koetter surely couldn’t expect to use the hurry-up approach that much in a regular season game, could he? Winston and the offense have all said they would rather operate out of the no-huddle system.…

    He hasn’t played at all this year so far. He was also suspended for the first three games of this season for breaking the NFL’s substance abuse policy. However, he’s being heralded for the hope that he’s bringing to the Saints. He’s 100% health wise, so he should be good to go for the game and for your roster. (-- removed HTML --)…

    This team showed great adversity yesterday. Now I know this game should not have been as close as it was and that needs to be fixed. But for this young Buccaneers team to come out and surrender a two score lead and still overcome adversity is an impressive feat and shows growth with this Bucs team. So many times in the past, we have watched our Bucs slowly self destruct and lose big leads and never get them back. Yes the Bucs should have blown them out, yes the Bucs still suffer from the kicking blues (as of yesterday), yes the Bucs didn't get a sack against a lackluster Giants offensive lineman.…

    The Buccaneers defense really has to step up against the Patriots. Injuries have really plagued the Bucs, but everyone is starting to get a little healthy now. Kwon, David, Tandy, and Ward all did not practice on Monday, but that isn't saying much right now. We will know more Tuesday and Wednesday if they will be playing or not on Thursday. If we can get them all back then our Pass defense will be more equipped to handle all of Brady's…

    It was less then a second, maybe half a second, but it decided our championship hopes. We were down by 3, on our own 35 with 42.3 seconds left in the 2023 season. Let's take it back though back to the beggining of the season. Our first game of the season was against Oklahoma, one of the best teams in the nation last year. Their running back S P. Ryan was one of the most brusing backs in college football.…

    It was a brisk fall evening with the sun just about to set behind a hill. I was 10 years old, playing in my third season of football, and my first ever game under the bright lights surrounding the high school stadium. The time had finally come, the lights had been on and warming up for several minutes, I was going to play a game under the lights on the high school field. My experiences that night were not forgotten, but today I couldn’t even tell you if we won the game that night. The lessons I learned that night weren’t about winning and losing, I had done plenty of that already in my life.…
