If you want to take a shot at Tucker
You're still not getting it.
I like all 3 rbs.
You think 2 are good and one is Hitler.
Tucker is a great RB3. If he learns to hold on to the all and hold up in pass pro blocking, he could get more reps.
White fumbled twice, yes. Super frustrating...
Bucky had a key fumble too.
All were frustrating.
The difference is Tucker's carry per touch was SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER.
But we also shouldn't use that stat... Because all of his stats are kinda pointless. There's no volume to any of them.
JC, your love affair with back ups never creases to amaze me
Tucker had a great game against the Saints. He really did. He may be one of the best pure runners on the team; kudos to him.
that being said, i think we all agree that Bucky Irving is a sensation and deserving of the top spot over Tucker? Right? .....right? ...
so the debate comes down to White who doesnt have a future with this team. Yes, the dude will be on some garbage team next year, let me call it now...the Titans. As mid as he is as a runner, in my humble opinion, the dude is a game changer pass catcher out of the backfield and can block well. THIS....is why he gets the snaps over Tucker.
Tucker to me seems more one dimensional where Bucky and White can both run and catch. Yes, please extrapolate his saints performance and you will put him ahead of the likes of Emmitt Smith, Barry Sanders, Adrian Peterson and Ladanian Tomlinson alike.
The dude has a spot on the team this year and isn't fighting for a roster spot like he was last preseason; that's a due to him being a solid runner. Much credit
anyone in the NFL is a beast, and all good; it's just some are better than others and Tucker will be buried on depth chart again
only way he sees time is if injuries happen. If i had to bet, his numbers wont be as good as last year.
My love affair is the best players playing. Sometimes the best players are the backups. Usually its because of draft status/salary and not actual talent. Like in 2007 when the Bucs signed Luke Petitgout to a ridiculous contract when they had Penn on the roster because they didn't know what they had in Penn.
As far as Tucker vs Irving, I think they should both get about 15 carries a game with Irving getting more designed passes and screens so him getting more touches. White should be phased out. He should have been shippped out because you need the 3rd RB to play special teams.
You say White is a game changer pass catcher but it's not true. When he has 3-7 catches the Bucs scored 25 ppg. When he caight 2 or fewer passes the Bucs scored 34 ppg. You want to call Tucker one dimensional like he didn't have an explosive TD in the passing game.
Coen's mismanagement of the RBs and his ridiculous pass/run ratios were the single biggest weakness of the team, more than the defense.
You'll never get it. Wild

dude...you think Bucky should split carries with Tucker? come on man.
you do realize the Bucs had the #4 rushing attack last year with the #3 passing attack? Coen must have done something right

If Irving stays healthy he is top dog. White is playing for a contract somewhere, so if he stays healthy he should be in top form.
Tucker has his work cut out for him.
Best thing for the Bucs would be for him to have already developed into a COMPLETE RB.

He thinks Tucker should be the starter/RB1.
He’s more or less admitted it.
