Patchwork defensive line playing well for Tampa Bay Bucs

Published on October 24, 2016 in Sports/Top Headlines by Gary Shelton

They are not exactly the Fearsome Foursome, but the Tampa Bay Bucs are getting production from an under-appreciated defensive line. The Bucs have had to patch and spackle lately, but they’ve still won two games in a row. During that time, defensive ends William Gholston and Noah Spence and defensive tackle Gerald McCoy have played well. “I think Gerald gets a bad rap sometimes,” said Bucs’ coach Dirk Koetter. “People don’t appreciate what he brings to the table. Having coached against him, you’ve got to double team him or…

Bucs come from behind to beat 49ers as Jacquizz Rodgers shines

Published on October 23, 2016 in Sports/Top Headlines by Gary Shelton

The Tampa Bay Bucs have ridden a new weapon all the way to a 3-3 record. Running back Jacquizz Rodgers, claimed off waivers during the season, has made it so the Bucs don’t miss running back Doug Martin — second in the NFL in rushing a year — nearly as much. Rodgers ran 26 times for 154 yards Sunday as the Bucs beat San Francisco, 34-17. In less than two weeks, Rodgers has rushed 56 times for 255 yards to…

Despite Doug Martin’s setback, Bucs need to run more consistently

Published on October 19, 2016 in Sports/Top Headlines by Gary Shelton

The Tampa Bay Bucs had hoped to have running back Doug Martin back after their bye week. Evidently, it is not going to happen. “Doug, unfortunately, did suffer a setback a week ago Sunday and we’ll just have to see when he can make it back,” said Bucs’ coach Dirk Koetter. “There’s no timetable on that right now, again, that’s not my department. There will be an injury report, but Doug did suffer a little setback. And just that whole…

Bucs’ Dirk Koetter disagrees with Jon Gruden on play call

Published on October 11, 2016 in Sports/Top Headlines by Gary Shelton

The current coach of the Tampa Bay Bucs said that a third-and-run had nothing to do with a lack of confidence in quarterback Jameis Winston, no matter what a former coach of the Bucs says. The call, which came late in the game as the Bucs beat the Carolina Panthers, 17-14, was part of the Bucs’ conservative game-plan. Coach Dirk Koetter said it had nothing to with Winston, although former coach Jon Gruden disagreed. “That wasn’t a lack of confidence,”…

Do Bucs have to learn to live with Jameis Winston’s mistakes?

Published on October 8, 2016 in Sports/Top Headlines by Gary Shelton

Is Jameis Winston, quarterback of the Tampa Bay Bucs, a gunslinger? Are interceptions something the Bucs are going to have to learn to live with? Winston, so far, has thrown eight interceptions in four weeks. He got off to a similar start last season with seven. “I don’t know if you ever want to accept it, but I do think that that’s something to build around,” said Tampa Bay offensive coordinator Todd Monken. “I’ve always believed that guys that are…

Bucs think rookie Vernon Hargreaves III is showing progress

Published on October 7, 2016 in Sports/Top Headlines by Gary Shelton

One month into his career, Tampa Bay Bucs rookie Vernon Hargreaves has played decently. But so far, he hasn’t made a major impact in the Bucs’ secondary. That might change Monday night, when the Bucs play the NFC Champion Carolina Panthers and their big receivers Kelvin Benjamin and Greg Olson. Hargreaves played last week on the outside for the Bucs rather than divide time. “I think he likes it better, where he’s not moving in and out,” Bucs’ coach Dirk…

One month in, Jameis Winston’s turnover woes have returned

Published on October 3, 2016 in Sports/Top Headlines by Gary Shelton

The more Jameis Winston of the Tampa Bay Bucs has thrown the football this season, the more doubts have resurfaced. In four games this season, Winston has thrown eight interceptions. A year ago, he threw seven in his first four games. “Oh yeah, it needs to be discussed,” Bucs coach Dirk Koetter said. “I have not talked to Jameis today, I’m sure I will here at some point, but it definitely needs to be discussed. And Jameis has always been fantastic…
