It’s becoming apparent that Tampa is going to be cautious with how they use Bucky next year. We didn’t draft a RB but went and got the best RB from another team who is quite comparable to Bucky. I like Sean Tucker as well and love that he has a nose for the end zone. I guess the question is, given that our WR room is top 10, is our RB room top 10? We certainly have a top 10 OL room. Can we use our run game to set up a lethal pass attack?
Yeah they've been hush hush about his shoulder.
The question becomes whether the shoulder injury is even helped by rest?
I don't think we can call ourselves a top 10 unit to start the season but I could see us working our way into it.
They haven’t even confirmed what type of surgery Bucky had. When you don’t talk about something, it is left to speculation. It is a cause for concern. It’s going to take time to get into playing speed, and I agree, would rest & rotational use let him get into a rhythm?
If we’re talking adding Gainwell to a pre-injury Bucky & Tucker, I’d definitely say that was a top 10 room - now, it kinda remains to be seen.
Yeah I love Bucky but his size was always a concern. He had a shoulder injury at Oregon too...
Hopefully it's just precaution... Either way he isn't a bell cow
Gainwell isn't a bell cow either which is why Robinson has to show us what his plan is because he has no Bijan to lean on.

Yeah, we have some versatility with our RB room but Bucky and Gainwell are super similar. Could be a good thing. I do think for our offense, the Bucs got the best FA they could when they signed Gainwell. He’s going to gain some fans quickly here in Tampa. No nonsense kid who does what’s asked of him.
I said it then and I'll say it now, I really liked the gainwell signing even if we paid a premium
Maybe we will see more form "Emmitt Smith." Clearly the Bucs didnt think much of White.
