Since being offensive player of the week, Tucker has had multiple snaps on 4 drives. The Bucs have scored touchdowns on 3 of them. 

I’m not sure this is slam dunk you think it is. Correlation isn’t causation. You could probably say the same thing for Sterling Shepherd or some other blah player. 

 

It's 1988 Dominique Wilkins. He maximizes rush yardage and opens up downfield passing. He puts up 192 and 2 TDs and we score 51 and then they ice him to an 0-3 stretch. At this point it's like they're trying to lose on purpose.

I think it’s as simply as this:

Considering Coen’s personal relationship with Will Stein, Liam had a BIG say in Bucky being drafted. 

That’s HIS guy.

As we’ve both said, Tucker getting absolutely iced after that NFCPOW performance is unexplainable. 

And, now after the last 2 games, he’s getting more carries than Tucker and White combined.

this would mean that our potential new HC doesn't understand draft value?

oh, but wait he does understand draft value because thats why the team is "icing" Thomas Jones . . for a THIRD ROUND RB!

 

(make it all make sense!)

Sure, they are trying to lose on purpose by keeping Emmitt Smith on the bench. That’s one explanation. Another more likely explanation is Sean Tucker is the current star of the JC All-Stars.

Look, I like Tucker quite a bit as a runner too. I also think he should given more looks, but it’s not as nefarious or egregiously bad as you’re making it out to. Now Sean Tucker isn’t just Emmitt Smith, he’s also ‘88 ‘Nique? You’re completely overrating him and his skill set with this stuff.

Men are talking. You don’t have the knowledge or nuance to follow along, which is why you’re confused. Take seat in the corner, watch and listen.

Yeah, because nothing quite says "manly" like "youre" trolling a football message board, right?

The Wilkins reference was in response to my argument being a slam dunk. 

The Bucs had Thomas Jones rotting on their bench for 3/4 of the season and then let him walk to sign Charlie Garner. 
Bucs also wasted Earnest Graham’s prime by not playing him. These are just recent Bucs examples of the better RB not playing. 

I’ll stand by the Emmitt Smith comparison and he will have another 200 yard game this season.

That’ll be tough if they keep reducing his role, which is borderline nonexistent at this point.

The HILARIOUS state of "football acumen" on the Red Board.

There is a CONSPIRACY keeping "Thomas Jones" on the bench when he just had the same number of carries as the  . . ."STARTING RB" . . on MNF, no less

 

Posted by: @biggs3535

Check in after Week 9: Rachaad White is the starting RB.

Shameless ignoramus.

 

and NOW there is also another CONSPIRACY afoot to have Bucky Irving LEADING the RBs

 

Posted by: @donkey_hunter

I think it’s as simply as this:

Considering Coen’s personal relationship with Will Stein, Liam had a BIG say in Bucky being drafted. 

That’s HIS guy.

when "Thomas Jones' was previously ONLY a distant back up in a RB room that would have White as the clear leader and Bucky as a 20% back

 

Posted by: @donkey_hunter

I would expect Bucky to get a slightly similar split that Edmunds/Tucker had last season (maybe a little more, as I expect us to run more).

 

 

Maybe White just doesn't wear street clothes anymore

 

Posted by: @biggs3535

White being in street clothes for both games tells anybody with a clue that his spot on the depth chart is secure.

 

FOOTBALL ACUMEN . . . .

 

At least we let White get those  carries with the 1s!

 

Posted by: @donkey_hunter

Are we going to let White get a carry with the 1’s in the new scheme before crowning Bucky?

 

yes, we are . . we did . . .

Tucker probably gets a heavier workload (they OBVIOUSLY like him) this Sunday, but that is dependent on the game NOT Coen's allegiance to a good friend and NOT Licht's financial plan.

And OF COURSE it is depndent on the play of the other two RBs
