personally, i hope that the bucs do everything exactly the same this year. easier to figure out and stop.

As long as Leftwich is calling plays, I wouldn't count on that kind of continuity. He may be the best offensive playcaller in the business right now. Definitely top 5. They literally made a mockery of the World Champions' defense.

I'm glad we invested a late round pick to get the best collegiate long snapper. I get why everyone is joking about it, but it's just due to their outmoded thinking. We need to hit a homerun on JJ Jansen's replacement. We've been spoiled for over a decade, and long snapper isn't something you can just sign a guy off the street for if you want anywhere near the continuity/performance we've enjoyed.  

The Carolina coaching staff worked with Alabama LS Thomas Fletcher at the Senior Bowl.  So they were confident in his ability and that he'd be a good fit with the team.   

Another LS was chosen 3 picks later so it wasn't too early to get one.   Especially one you're sure about.

It’s possible but realistically I’d expect 3 or 4 to see significant time. Maybe we got steals in day 3, but it’s rare that day 3 guys contribute a lot or at all. It would be shocking and game changing if 7 or 8 players see significant playing time not due to “having” to be on field due to injuries.

I’m also not counting a LS. It’ll be nice if he takes over and doesn’t suck but we aren’t getting better just cheaper.

Horn is a day one starter

Marshall #3 WR

Christensen Starting LT 

Tremble will see significant playing time as a FB and TE and maybe HB

Hubbard will see the field giving CMC a blow

Nixon the reigning Big 10 DPOY will at minimum be in the DT rotation.  I don't see him starting but will see time at DT.  DT is a position were we rotate players all the time.  He'll see significant playing time.

Taylor is a wild card.  He may be a bust or may be a steal.  Honestly I don't know enough about him to be confident one way or the other.   We'll see after we start workouts what his ceiling in year one will be.

Brown impressed Rhule in the Senior Bowl and will most likely start the season as a backup but as every season we'll have a O-line injury and he'll be ready to come in and start.  What I will say that may make him a bust is that he cannot keep his weight down.  I am sure the teams Nutritionist will be his best friend. 

Smith will have a chance to start as our PR specialist and get opportunities as the #4 WR.  He may not see a lot of time but he'll have a decent stat line.  He will also be in a position to move to the #3 spot when we let Anderson walk after 2021.

Fletcher and Hoskins along with Taylor are the ones who I am not counting on to do much. 

How you figure only 3 to 4 really boggles my mind.  Each of the players that we drafted are in the position of need and really have a great chance to make the team. 

I respect your opinion and I am sure you think I am a homer but I honestly believe this was a grand slam draft. In a couple of years will be the draft we point to as the one where we turned the corner to be a perennial winning team.

      NFL top 10 Defenses

      By Basbear · Posted

      I believe Lloyd will elevate not just the whole unit, but also whoever his running mate is. Wallace is still very young, I think he's only 23 with two years of exp now. Cherelus can handle starting, he's just fighting with staying healthy. Kuwatch I think is going to be a contender after a couple week of understanding the system.  I mean Lee will be against..... what nearly 10 NFL-level WRs, he's going to get work and its up to him if he can hang.  I think its fair to expect 12th +/- 3 or 4 spots.  You know this, it boils down to how healthy everyone stays.....cause if dbrown, horn, Lloyd, Michael Jackson, or tervon miss extended time.....no way 10th can be reached. IF all the names above remain haethly, I do think 10th should be the goal. They are a young unit and added talent to a 16th ranked unit. Its time to march forward!!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Varying degrees all around but it starts at the top. That is where the buck stops. It has been 8 years of stupid, long before Morgan came back. Or Tillis was hired. Made it to the top of stupid mountain in 2023. Stayed in stupid limbo for a while, now we are prepping to scale the next mountain. In this case, I like those guys’ roster building better than what we have had so I am okay with them as our current pawns in the game of Bryce.

      Lee Hunter, Other End of The Call

      Don't let me gas him up too much, but I hear this and that...... I seen a wide body man with a quick burst, that's able to shed blocks and if extends his long arms its over. He tore up the OL in the senior, you seen about 10 plays and the dog walking OLman. There's other plays of him doing the same, just have to deal with fetus talking over the plays. Plus there's this-  https://x.com/PFF_College/status/2018385471068332410?lang=en     I hope he's ready, cause Id like to see him starting and doing his thang with dbrown, nic, and Phillips.
