If Dennis is now out long-term the Bucs are really in bad shape at LB, right? This was PR's (generous) take on KJ Britt's game
- KJ Britt
- The stunt to set up David’s second sack was his best play of the game.
- Got exploited in low red zone on Hurts’ scramble that led to TD pass to Campbell.
- Lack of athleticism leaves him stuck in mud in those situations more often than not.
- Bucs tried to limit him as a coverage defender by blitzing him a ton.
- Outside of being a solid stunter he was not very adept as a pass rusher.
- Stiff hips meant he couldn’t change directions and was often pushed to the ground by using his own momentum against him.
- Lacks explosivity out of his drop in coverage.
- Asked to be the pole-runner in several Cover 2 reps and lacked the speed needed for that assignment.
If you re-watch Barkley's 59 yard run, Diaby fails to set the edge but Britt doesnt even get close to forcing him back to the inside
Yeah it's def a problem and a David injury would be brutal.
Not sure what is out there either but maybe a team like the Jags or another would be willing to make a deal
David injury would be brutal.
man, would it ever because he is even more to the team than his still great play
the Bucs placed inside linebacker SirVocea Dennis on injured reserve.
Bucs had Payton Wilson for the taking there in the third round and went for McMillian who will be lucky to have 30 catches by the end of this year.
Don't think the kid is a bad player by any means but we definitely could've used our draft picks smarter.

my fear is that they went with WR because they plan on letting Godwin walk in the offseason
now, if they do the right thing, and resign Godwin, then yeah not sure
they plan on letting Godwin walk in the offseason
or they wanted insurance/transition player
Godwin is going to make it tough for them to let him go lol
What now? Can’t just run with Britt, give up 500 yards every game
I imagine getting Winfield back is going to help but not Whitehead is def going to miss time with that groin. Bucs defense is a mess right now.
Insurance for a WR is such a stupid decision. In this era of football, there are plethora of rookies who have came in and filled a void in as a WR and provided good production. I thought we learned from the Desean Jackson-Godwin fiasco but we clearly didn't as they took a WR they necessarily need right now. Even if they let Godwin walk, we would've been good to draft someone early in 2025.Bucs had Payton Wilson for the taking there in the third round and went for McMillian who will be lucky to have 30 catches by the end of this year.

Josh Q points out something that shoud've stood out when Dennis was playing next to him . . . and I guess it did to the Falcons:
"Lavonte David’s once-special ability to play in space and cover large swaths of field has come to an end. He still has a high aptitude with a nose for the ball. But he can no longer be counted on to erase whole areas of the field as a dropping backer. He too was exploited with plays over his head and showed his declining athleticism with slow turns and changes of direction."
Wow.
im conflicted
surely Derek Carr missing the Bucs game this weekend is a good thing, right?
right? are you listening Todd Bowles?
Jake Haener should not be mentioned in the same breath of Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Bo Nix come Monday please

I’m remembering how Taylor Heineke(n) shook us up WITH the GOAT during the Superbowl run…
We don’t need to make anymore unknowns, known.
When I heard the news, I immediately turned to my wife and said this could be bad, the Bucs have always had problems defending unknown backup QBs. Trevor Siemian (WTF beat by an ape throwing the ball), Mitch Trubisky (threw for 6 tds), Brock Purdy (turned out to be the real deal). Okay you old TB Bucs fans, who are some of the others?
