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.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By strato · Posted

      I have been looking for a dropped pass list and all that comes up is QBs. And team stats. When I do receivers I get the passing stats for a handful that threw passes this year.    I wanted to be accurate but anyhow I was looking because thought I remembered reading where T Mac had more drops than XL this year.  One of you many smarter than me people here,I would appreciate it if you know how to pull that up, please do. Thank you.    And yeah I know that isn’t all there is to it I just thought it was interesting.  Of course what the hell is a drop lol.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
