If you understand Bowles’s defense, and you have the healthy version of the players that are currently on our team, you can understand how this defense will be measures better than last year.
It’s fun to shitmouth the head coach or to say we aren’t contenders but, this defense will be different.
From July of 2025
Yep. Our offensive plan this year will be similar but different. Most behind the scenes feel like Grizz was the real brains behind the success of our offense last season. I expect we turn it up a notch this year.
Ladies and gentlemen, Devin Culp...
Lolz @ Grizz, Culp, and the leghumpers.
Translated, you got nothing and you expect Tampa to be a worse team on the field in 2026.
Plant City must be tough this time of year…
Depends on what you mean by develop but you could start with White. Bowles is the ONLY coach to get him to play at an All-Pro level
LOL!
That was a good one, bud.
LVD credits him with expanding his knowledge of the game, the key to his late success.
That's nice of LVD to say that, despite the fact that most of his best seasons were prior to Todd.
If the metric for "develop" is sustained success (ie White was obviously a failure long term) then AWJ, Davis, Dean, Diaby, Kancey (if healthy 7.5 sacks), Vea...
I find it interesting that you mention Dean in here.
You were the most vocal on here about him essentially never being good unless it was contract time (which was obviously false, but a cute narrative that many casuals echoed).
And, I also find it interesting that on top of Dean, you include Davis.
Especially when you consider the fact they had to call out Bowles on more than one occasion for not utilizing them properly. And, after Davis leaves, he has arguably his best set of consecutive seasons.
I guess its fair to credit him with AWJ, but outside of him, nothing noteworthy.
Sort of an interesting microcosm of discussions here. You asked. I tried to answer, but then most of your responses are actually NON-responses.
But to your main point, you didn't describe what YOU meant by "developed" so I had to provide the definition. If you disagreed just provide your own definition. I was not making a value statement (Dean good or bad, Davis good or bad), I was saying they fit the definition that someone might use for "developed."
