WTF does this even mean? Because he broke a pass play up in training camp now its ok for him to be dropped into coverage? Ok, sure.So tell me straight, do you think its a great idea to have a guy who is a notorious disruptor at the line and in the backfield drop into coverage? Because I absolutely think its a terrible idea
To answer directly, no. He should be full speed ahead all the time and hopefully that works well enough. That said, even Myles Garrett stunts, delays and yes drops. Because the point is not the coverage it confusing the line. So, its not hard to imagine Bain's use as a rare dropper
Mike MacDonald just won a Super Bowl with the "glitch blitz" lol. Thats two . . . 2 . . interior defensive lineman dropping into passing lanes. That blitz is set up by vanilla four man rushes, but those have to get home for it to work well
The Patriots use the same edge rusher drop outs as Bowles.
That said, because its all about deception if you can just rush 4 with some success you have the foundation to blitz occasionally. Bowles doesnt do that very often. Won a SB with that, but that is not his nor
uh oh . . . .
"Mayfield throws to Bucky to the right and he’s met immediately by Bain. Pass broken up."
;-)
Oh no. I was joking because we were just talking about whether he would be use din coverage. I think on this play hes not covering he just sniffed out a screen
This is good news but I will reserve giddiness to when the games count. The team needs Walker to play up to his potential.this is great to read
David Walker, the second-year edge rusher, has truly been the star of Bucs training camp – and it hasn’t even been close.
Walker had at least one sack for the seventh straight practice in a row and is easily leading the defense in this category. He had two would-be sacks today, but on his second – and final – sack of Thursday’s practice, he literally had a strip-sack, and the fumble recovery to boot. Walker is quickly stating his case for OLB3 behind Yaya Diaby and Rueben Bain Jr.
agree
I was reading about Trotter make waves with the pads on. Good to read, but still lets see what happens in games
There is a lot of Walker hype but he is not doing it against high caliber competition. I mean even Braswell is making plays against these guys so PR needs to pump the breaks a bit on the Walker hype.
Got it. Just came across as snarky and since I have been the crybaby screaming the most about him dropping into coverage, I thought it was aimed my direction. Regardless, I stand firm that using him in this manner is not utilizing his strengths. It may work out.....and all of us hopes that it will for sure, but I would rather move him around on the line creating havoc in the backfield on every play and let the backers do their job.WTF does this even mean?

My bad. Tone lost in text.
I agree.

SI Camp surprises
WALKER
"Walker has been on an absolute tear this training camp. After missing all of camp and the entire season last year due to injury, Walker has been a man on a mission and has been doing well against both starters and backups alike."
"It's not a crazy theory to say that Walker could even be the third edge rusher behind Rueben Bain Jr, and Yaya Diaby this season because of how well he's been performing in camp. The future seems bright for the Bucs' pass rush with Diaby, Bain Jr, and Walker guiding the ship."
GAINWELL
Finally, we have Gainwell, a veteran running back who was brought in this off-season to replace Rachaad White, who left to join the Commanders. Gainwell has shown some great ability both as a runner and receiver and should be a very good back to complement Bucky Irving on game day.
I could even see some scenarios where Gainwell gets the majority of reps in certain games depending on the matchup and situation.
I wasn't high on Gainwell as an addition to begin with, but I have slowly changed that view. I think he is going to be a good compliment to Irving. I wanted a bruiser but Gainwell is a good back and I am looking forward to seeing what that tandem can do with a healthy O-Line.
Gainwell is a huge upgrade from a professional standpoint. He’s going to show up and play and play well. We have some weapons in this offense that will have defenses spinning. Gainwell is one of those weapons.
Walker getting a lot of reps with the 1’s and is absolutely showing out.
Again, hope this kid turns out to be legit, and allows us to let Diaby leave via FA versus signing him to a big extension.
Even Braswell is making plays along with Walker. I want to see these defenders against opposing teams OL before crowning them. Also Bucs OL needs more depth at guard and Licht need to go out and sign an OG and CB.
Morrison is MIA once again. Time to sign a veteran CB.
Bucs sign last year try out player CB Parodie and sign S Xavier Williams. Both Hall and Lucas have been waived.
Lucas and Hall were a waste of time by this team to be honest and the Bucs should have been more judicious looking at players with limited ceilings like these two players.
I agree with you, Alldaway. Not addressing that DB room (primarily at CB) is going to sting once the season starts.
This failure to secure depth at CB is puzzling. Is it that they drafted Morrison so they are committed to him so much that they are foregoing depth? that would be crazy. Is it that they have to kepp some position thin due to Mayfield, Vea and budget stuff? Its weird. Maybe just biding time until cuts? seems better to have someone in camp.
