Tucker looked atrocious and slow today.
White was 10x better
White is fine. Tucker will improve but how much is a different question entirely.
whatever one thinks of Rachaad White as a runner (he's running more directly this season), he is a very good all-around football player and teammate. The Bucs are lucky to have him as the counterpart to Irving.
Not that he needed to, but he proved that in many ways yesterday
And Tucker proved he's depth
Bucs running backs were having a tough time vs the Seahawks run defense, only ran for 56 yards.
Both White TDs were things of beauty with pitchouts wide to free White to get to paydirt.

and a great stiff arm on one!
Huge play by White in the last minute to pick up a first and stay in bounds. Essentially iced the game.

Yup he has a good game with not a lot to work with. Amazing compliment to Bucky.
Haver to love this from Bowles on White
“[Rachaad] really been the unsung hero and the glue offensively,” Bowles told the Buccaneers Radio Network. “Between him and Cade [Otton], that kind of keeps everything together. He makes the tough runs and the hard runs. He makes some great catches in the screen game. He makes the tough blocks for us. And when you look up, he’s always there. He’s dicing through the hole, getting extra yards after getting hit — got a 3rd-and-1 play [Sunday] after getting hit in the backfield and made something out of nothing. So he has really been doing all the little things for us to be a good team and for us to win.”
