Bucs in Game Mode - Covert Ops

During the 30-minute portion of practice that is open to the media, the oft revamped Bucs line worked in a parking lot shielded by a tarp-covered fence behind the practice fields at One Buc Place.

 

 

“Keep in mind that I’m going to give you very little information from here on out,’’ Smith in the wake of the Bucs 90-minute workout. “We’re in game week now, and anything we say, someone is listening.

“And with Carolina, as soon as they start telling us who practiced and who lined up in what formation on punts and different things, then I’ll start doing that, too. Until then, how about some general questions?’’

 

 

The covert activities didn’t end there either. Later, when asked if he had finally settled on a starter at right guard, coach Lovie Smith said yes. When asked if he would divulge who that starter will be, he said no.

 

 

This level of coaching paranoia is pretty extreme. Ron Rivera has absolutely at least named his starting offensive line. Apparently, Lovie doesn't realize that his player's execution and his coaches play calling far outweigh any typical media blah blah that may get released. In the big picture, it is fairly innocuous.

 

The latest "Cam may not play" talk could be a direct response to these games they are playing in Tampa.

Its not paranoia guys, Lovie likely has not decided on who will start yet at RG. Think about it, 4 of starting 5 are confirmed and the 2 players competing for RG (Rishaw Johnson, Patrick Omameh) and complete unknowns with little to no tape on them. He is just trying to cover up the fact that these guys stink and and possibly not starter ready. If he says the truth there will be a poo storm about why the front office ignored G in draft and free agency etc.

 

So, yeah, I appreciate your criticism of my team's head coach, but it is not the way you think it is.

They will both play and will be needed actually.  Star is hungry and I pity the "starter" who is laid before him to begin the game.

You act like your own rookie guard isn't about to be tossed into the lions den vs McCoy on Sunday. Panthers o-line is in the same spot as Tampa's line. Star has nothing on McCoy...Kalil will have to double up on him unless y'all want Cams ribs available for open season!

Because McCoy was so successful against our horrible right side last season.... right?  LOL!!

      As fans have we unanimously concluded that Bryce Young IS THE PROBLEM

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      If my reply comes off argumentative, that is not my intention so please don’t take it as such.  You said one word, probably subconsciously, in your post that immediately disqualifies him from being a QB in the NFL. You actually said it twice. Kid. It’s exactly how you see him, and exactly how the rest of the entire NFL sees him as well.  Yes, he is a kid, he looks and acts like a kid and that exactly IS the problem. The NFL is for grown ass men. Period. Hell, our kicker looks like he collects ‘taxes’ as a side hustle. These are straight dudes. Men.  Nothing in his persona changed from last year to this.  Nothing in his physical stature. Nothing. He has shown 0 development. 0. And he disrespects the entire organization, talking video games and Netflix in the offseason. Bro. Really. My man Chuba is busting his ass to look good for his second contract. Set himself up for life. How many RBs make it to even sign contract #3? First 2 games he has to run in to a brick wall continuously because Netflix can’t even get it over the LOS.  He’s a kid who pulled off the biggest heist in world history. He looks happier on the sideline goofing around than he ever has looked on the field. It’s time to cut bait.

      I hear you and I can imagine it's frustrating as a fan, but UNC-CH leaving the ACC would be throwing away over a century of history. It would really suck if y'all, or Clemson, or any of the other remaining charter members leave. I still think it sucks that Maryland left as well. Feels so wrong not having that rivalry anymore. Maryland fuging hated us and I loved it. Who's Maryland's rival now in the big 10? Rutgers? lol. Also, I think that the Heels are more likely to be Kentucky 2.0 than you are to get serious about football upon joining the SEC. Both UNC (and also Duke's) administrations seem very stuck in their ways with sticking to their ways and remaining basketball powerhouses. I do wish we could see NC teams actually competing in my favorite sport sometimes but alas. I personally value keeping our history intact over trying to become top flight CFB programs because nowadays it's just a pay to win sport anyways. Even if UNC-CH got serious I doubt they could compete with that Texas oil money, or that Oregon nike money, or that USC rich kid money. That's all top level college football really is anymore. You're either an established blue blood or you're willing to waste tons of money that could be spent on education rather than football.

      Maybe a move to the SEC forces UNC to be more serious about football?   I mean we should be making noise in the weak ACC and we can't even do that. How is Duke better than UNC in football right now? It's honestly sad and pathetic.   It doesn't matter if we get another great QB as you said a QB doesn't mean you have a great roster. A QB can only do so much. We lack elite guys in the trenches. That's how you build a program. It starts up front.
