What? I'm not following. So the fact that the starters are sitting in the preseason has something to do with Bowles's perception of the talent level on his team?
You’re following
Based on this football savant's logic, here is the list of NFL Head Coaches that don't think their talent level are all that:
Sean McDermott
John Harbaugh
Pete Carroll
Mike McCarthy
Sean McVay
Kyle Shanahan
Nick Siriani
Josh McDaniels
Kevin O'Connell
Zac Taylor
Dan Campbell
Brian Daboll
Mike McDaniels
Robert Saleh
Brandon Staley
Arthur Smith
Suck for these teams, as a lot of them have Superbowl aspirations. But the same savant saying the OC's play selection in preseason means something is the same dingleberry putting this nonsense forward. He knows his stuff.
TDE is real!
lol
Sean McVey caused a stir when sat all starters with the Rams. His stated reason was avoiding injuries and minimizing their impact anyway by developing depth players
the Bucs have a couple more McVey connections this season but if memory serves Bowles sat many starters last preseason? Anyway, he said the sane reason as McVey in a recent interview.
(up in the thread someone suggests that Bowles sits starters because he’s, in essence, a conservative coward lol. McVey?)
I think that if the Bucs staff is satisfied with the work the starters do with the scrimmages that they will take a page out of the Patriots approach and rest the starters and give the reps to the 2nd and 3rd stringers.
This was my take after the Tristen Wirfs Diary. He explained why he may not play and this was it..
I’d expect the same thing as last week. Only difference is Trask at starter.
May see Leverett at center to start as well.
As with any strenuous activity, you have to acclimate or you have a greater risk of injury. These coaches seem brilliant avoiding injuries during the preseason only to see core contributors get hurt easily in the season. Not getting your body used to the hitting is similar to not stretching out your muscles fully. Avoiding ankle injuries, for example, requires stretching them to their max in all directions so that when the bodies pile up on your ankle at the bottom of the pile, your ankle can stretch to accommodate it. Tight ankle muscles will can become sprained or torn in those conditions. We'll see if we get lucky during the season or not. McVay wasn't last year. It's hard to gauge this crap because it's not a 1 for 1 correlation. Sometimes you can just get wrong and it won't matter how much you trained to take a similar hit.

I think this is actually is sort of in line with the point that Bowles is making. Sometimes there are going to be injuries no matter what. Gage was apparently no contact, just back pedaling? But what the science apparently shows, according to Bowles, between increased injury risk and sustained practice and that is a variable the coaches can control
ESPN - "Gage's injury was noncontact, sustained while he was backpedaling during 7-on-7 drills. "
Injuries happen and it sucks for the Bucs and for Gage. Too lazy to look but isnt our current WR depth now basically UFA rookies and a couple 2nd year guys?
agree with the post that say hope we give the kid a chance

You have to give him the reps.
We aren’t contenders.
You need to see what you have in Palmer, Thompkins, Geiger, etc.
No need to bring in retreads, even if you are on the hot seat.

that last sentence. lol
If he thinks he is on the hot seat he's bringing in any veteran he can and not as depth
sort of the baked-in disconnect between team and HC
If he thinks he is on the hot seat he's bringing in any veteran he can and not as depth
And, when it ultimately fails (like it predictably did with Julio), he’ll be shown the door.
