One of the guys that the huddle loved is trying out for the Bucs per Pro Football talk.

Really thought he had some talent but seems to not be able to stick anywhere.The bad memory's of the 2010 horror are softened by his one bright season.Wish him luck but not with the Bucs.

David Gettis is the poster boy for Ron Rivera's doghouse.  

 

 

After going in that black hole and never coming out, and losing out to the numbers game in D.C., he should have plenty of motivation.  

 

 

If he doesn't make the squad there, especially for health reasons, I'm thinking that it's time for him to give up the ghost.

IF he makes their squad, I will be interested to see not only if he can best the numbers of Tiquan Underwood there, but also Tiquan Underwood here (assuming that Underwood makes the team).

Yeah good luck with that.

Has he even logged a single NFL catch since the 2010 season here? Not that I can find.

He was a track speed guy that tore his ACL, and apparently didn't rehab well at all from it.  For the life of me I couldn't' understand his struggle, I've had the surgery twice and don't see how it took over 2 years for him to recover.

      BPA comes with the caveat of positional value and roster need included. Never let the latter two completely overwhelm the first, however. Our FO seems to lean heavily into "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE POTENTIALZ!!!" as a fourth category and often it seems as the #1 overall pursuit. With as many needs as this roster has, I am not going to get upset over a real roster upgrade at WR versus some reach at EDGE or whatever other extreme needs we have. Overall, I want to see the roster get better. There is far, far, FAR more than one offseason of work left to get this roster into the top 10-12 in the NFL. That should be the goal.

      I would say we are more likely to get smoked by Tampa, blast Seattle and then perplexingly lose to Tampa again.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      In general, Dave Canales tends to target his TE's the least frequently of any position group(WR/RB/TE) during his three years of running an NFL offense.  However, if you notice this percentage has crept up over time. 2025 is the first year that TE has eclipsed RB in target percentage. Production has also gone up in 2025. This is a percentage of total output in each category. Canales has always used a very TE heavy offense. In fact, on average his offensive formations are 2 or 3 TE sets roughly 80% of all offensive formations. So, the question may be, with this uptick in total TE output, could an elite or top tier TE make a significant impact? I believe there is some evidence this may be the case. Here are a look at TE snaps and Cade Otten specifically. These are the snap percentages for all rostered TE's in every Dave Canales offense. The bolded cell is Cade Otten's whopping 96.46% of total snap counts in the single year he was in the Dave Canales offense in Tampa. This was overwhelmingly his career high. His production was higher with less utilization in 2024, however.    In conclusion, while I don't anticipate ever seeing a top 5 producing/Pro Bowl caliber TE performance in a Dave Canales offense, there does appear to be some evidence that an actual upgrade in our TE room would actually lead to increasing overall offensive efficiency. I think Otten's utilization rate does indicate that the splitting of time between our relatively even TE group would cede significant snaps if a far superior option were available. I believe this is an area we could(and should have this past offseason/draft) made a more concerted effort to get a dynamic TE threat, after the apparent failure that J. Sanders appears to have been.
