They said they would go with the hot hand. Irving obviously the hot hand. Tucker, ice cold. 

I think that’s because Licht paid off the trainer to drug Tucker. 

true if you can’t prove it wrong

I don’t think the NYG game was much of a test, more of a get right game. Mike Evans, Zyon, Mike Edwards getting live game reps to get back up to game speed.

Tommy Cutlets didn’t test our defense much either - but they got some pressure and could role AWJ in to make it work.

Looks like Carolina will be a real test. Can’t wait!

Run blocking was very good too.

Blown away about how much better its gotten throughout the year. 

Gotta give Mauch his flowers. Massive improvement.

I haven't focused on him much and thats probably because he hasn't been a turnstile... I feel like the offensive line is a position where you kinda "ignore" it when it does well and only notice when it does bad.

Even though we all know the games are won in the trenches.

It took him a few games, but he’s made the same jump Goedeke did in second season. A very nice turn.

And yes, the guys on the OL are playing very, very well.

"So what NFL running back has caught the highest percentage of throws sent his way?

The answer is Buccaneers rookie sensation running back Bucky Irving. He’s hauled in 94.1 percent of his targets.

That’s a notch ahead of Lions RB David Montgomery at 92.3 percent. Bengals tight end Erick All ranks third and fellow Bucs RB Rachaad White is fourth at 90.5 percent."

Bucky was a great pick. Yes I'm a duck homer but I knew he'd be great.

I should go and find my call outs for this and get my told you so in

I get it. 

For most, it’s not sexy.

That being said, the way this unit is playing, it’s hard not to have fun watching them.

Absolutely stacked in RB depth - but Bucky - man what a pick.

…best rookie RB in the NFL by far!? 

Coen’s best work may be the o-line, agree that Goedeke & Mauch have really improved, Barton really working well, Bredesen has been competent.

Hopefully Tristan’s return will get us back to full strength against Carolina…so we can unleash all the dogs in the backfield, opening it up for Mike and Cade Otton.

Harold Godwin hasn’t been missed at all.  The new OL coach has done a very good job, along with the OC.

Tucker was getting short yardage and goal line until his fumble which they're going to hang over his head the rest of the season when Irving and White have worse fumbles. 

I can understand the argument that Irving's fumble was worse, but I'm anxiously anticipating how White's fumble was worse than one on the goal line?

White leaves too much meat on the bone. If the line gives him 3 he'll get 3. If the line gives him 12 he'll get 12. 

This isn't accurate either.  There have been plenty of time that White has had to put his head down and blow through blockers just to get back to the LOS.

Falcon game was the most important game of the year and he opened it with a fumble that led to a Falcons TD.

So we saw a more defined role. 

Bucky is electric.

White leaves too much meat on the bone. If the line gives him 3 he'll get 3. If the line gives him 12 he'll get 12. 

Leaving meat on the bone means he's getting 5 when he should get 12... Getting 12 out of 12 isn't leaving meat on the bone lmfao.

 

Bucky is eating the whole damn chicken tho.

 

In the 4th qtr the OL gave Bucky 0 and he went for 56. 

Vs the Saints Tucker had plays where the OL gave him 3 and he got 10, they gave him 4 and he got 8, they gave him 9 and he got 16, they gave him 5 and he got 15.
