Well, as much as I’d like to put that dreadful Bears game behind us and move on, I haven’t quite been able to do it. Unfortunately, I was dead on with my “Playaz 2 Watch” for that game in defensive end Khalil Mack and running back Tarik Cohen. Mack had 4 tackles, 1 tackle for …Read More
Well, my picks for the Steelers game last week were tight end Jesse James and outside linebacker TJ Watt, Neither of them had much of an impact on the game. Offensively I got the position correct, but the player wrong as the “Conte Killer” Vance McDonald finished with 4 catches for 112 yards and 1 …Read More
Photo Credit: Cliff Welch / Pewter ReportWeek 2 is in the books and so is another win. The Bucs have started the season 2-0 for the first time since 2010 when they did it with Raheem Morris and Josh Freeman. Back then, they did it by beating the Browns here in Tampa and a bad Panthers team in Carolina. This year, …Read More
The Week 1 invasion of the port in New Orleans was a success. The Buccaneers were able to enter the Mercedes-Benz Superdome a ten point underdog and exit with a division road win after beating the Saints 48-40 in an offensive shootout. Last week’s “Playaz 2 Watch” were Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas and defensive …Read More
This year, we here at WTB are trying to bring you more weekly content during the football season. One of my contributions to that effort is going to be my Deez Playaz 2 Watch segment. Each week, I’ll pick an offensive and defensive player from the Bucs opponent that could have a big impact on …Read More
Photo Credit: Cliff Welch / Pewter ReportBoy has this been a hot debate over the last few weeks. Dirk Koetter allowed offensive coordinator Todd Monken to assume playcalling duties during the preseason. The results? An aggressive, downfield attacking style passing offense that was putting points on the board against opposing defenses almost at will. A complete 180 from the vanilla offense …Read More
Photo Credit: Cliff Welch / Pewter ReportThe fourth preseason game is like the NFL’s version of the Hunger Games. It’s a fight for survival for some guys. It’s typically the last chance for those “bubble guys” to show the coaching staff what they have to offer the team and give them a reason to keep them around. At this point in …Read More
If you’re a defensive guy like me, then you were even more disappointed with last season than other Bucs fans. Last year was abysmal to say the least. It was tough to watch. After finishing with the 10th ranked total defense and first in third down percentage allowed in 2016, they finished dead last in …Read More
After only a week and a half or so of training camp, the Bucs have released their first “unofficial” depth chart of the season. With the first preseason game fast approaching, the team was required to do so. And even though there are no big surprises, fans shouldn’t read a whole lot into it. This …Read More
We are undefeated! Again! No, not the Bucs. I mean the WTB Tailgate! You crazy fans have allowed us to complete another year of making the gameday about more than the game. I was going to write something deep here but my partner in crime and Founder of WTB Really Matters, Cheryl “Spent” Stewart said …Read More
