Tampa Bay Buccaneers Offseason 2016

So kann ich mir für die ganze Saison vorstellen - sogar Aguayo perfekt

Zitat von MHWHV

Die erste Kaderkürzung ist raus, grundsätzlich keine Überraschungen außer evtl. Wright und Schum

• DT Travis Britz
• CB Daniel Davie
• WR Andre Davis
• T Taylor Fallin
• LB Jeremiah George
• DE Martin Ifedi
• RB Storm Johnson
• DT Ishmaa'ily Kitchen
• S Kimario McFadden
• P Jacob Schum
• TE Tevin Westbrook
• S Major Wright

scheinbar hat P Anger u.a. einen besseren Job als Holder gemacht. Ich denke, dass Schum sicherlich wo anders unterkommt.

Dye wird allenfalls auf PUP gesetzt, so dass er möglicherweise ab der 6 Woche wieder einsatzbereit wäre

Einzig positives war wohl Aguayo und Punter Anger
Über den Rest legen wir mal den Mantel des Schweigens , denn der zweite und dritte Anzug geht gar nicht
Sollte Winston mal,ausfallen, dann gute Nacht
Kenny Bell mit Concussion out.....

Zitat von maruso

ASJ sollte langsam seine Emotionen in den Griff kriegen und sich auf sich selbst konzentrieren.Der Typ geht mir momentan mächtig am Arsch: Klick mich

Wenn seine Leistung wenigstens halbwegs an seine Mätzchen rankommen würde...

Vielleicht wird er als auch als Trade-Objekt gesehen

Quick story: Bucs have cut sixth-round pick TE Danny Vitale and will keep rookie Alan Cross as one of five TEs.

Kenny Bell (wie erwartet) entlassen - so wird das nichts mit meinem Sympathisantentum

schade, hat aber nicht sein sollen - hoffe er packt es anderswo

Der Kader der Bucs - Änderungen werden wohl noch folgen

OFFENSE
Quarterback (3) – Jameis Winston, Mike Glennon, Ryan Griffin
Head coach Dirk Koetter let it be known late in training camp that the team planned to open the year with three quarterbacks on the active roster. Despite a rough looking preseason, the Bucs still feel comfortable rolling with Glennon in the worst-case-scenario event of Winston going down. Glennon is on the final year of his contract and may be an attractive option around the league. Griffin didn’t perform particularly well this preseason, either, but Koetter and the offensive staff have invested time and effort teaching the third-year quarterback their system and don’t want to risk placing him on the practice squad.
Running Back (3) – Doug Martin, Charles Sims, Mike James
James beat out his young competition to remain a Buccaneer. Peyton Barber, Russell Hansbrough were his final two challengers but the team went with the experienced option. Running backs not named Martin or Sims received six total carries last year and caught five total passes, so James’ role on the team will be spent primarily as a special teamer.
Wide Reciever (5) – Mike Evans, Vincent Jackson, Adam Humphries, Russell Shepard, Evan Spencer
This battle for the final receiver spot was one of the most watched throughout training camp and the preseason. Spencer is back for the moment after spending much of last year on the practice squad before getting activated in late December. Spencer was taken over the other young options of Jonathan Krause, Bernard Reedy, Freddie Martino and Kenny Bell. It was thought that the fifth receiver would go to the player that proved he could be a serviceable return man, but Bell, Reedy and Krause failed to take advantage of their opportunities. Shepard is the team’s special teams specialist and may also see a few more snaps with the offense this year. Louis Murphy, who begins the season on the Physically Unable to Perform list, had surgery on his torn ACL last November and most players tend to need about a year to recover from the procedure.
Tight End (5) – Cameron Brate, Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Luke Stocker, Brandon Myers, Alan Cross
Five tight ends seems like a lot and unheralded rookie Alan Cross did enough to earn a spot on the 53 despite playing only 58 total preseason snaps. The undrafted 23-year-old out of Memphis beat out sixth-round pick Danny Vitale. Stocker and Myers have been retained again, mostly for their ability to block as opposed to affecting the passing attack. The battle for playing time between Brate and Seferian-Jenkins will play itself out into the season.
Offensive Line (9) – Donovan Smith, Kevin Pamphile, Joe Hawley, Ali Marpet, Demar Dotson, Evan Smith, Gosder Cherilus, Caleb Benenoch, Leonard Wester
The only question on the starting line throughout the preseason was who would be named starting center. That job appears to go back to Hawley, leaving Evan Smith as a primary backup at center and guard. The line’s elder statesman, 32-year-old Gosder Cherilus, is on the second of his two-year deal and is back to provide veteran depth. The team chose fifth-round draft pick Caleb Benenoch and undrafted rookie Leonard Wester over Josh Allen, Kyler Kerbyson, Kelvin Palmer and Ben Gottschalk. Free-agent guard J.R. Sweezy joins WR Murphy on the PUP list to start the year.
Kicker (1) – Roberto Aguayo
No player experienced more of a roller coaster preseason than the Bucs’ rookie kicker. The sky-is-falling reaction to a few missed kicks during games and practice were probably a little premature. Assuming that was the last of it because of a few converted kicks is probably wishful thinking, too. But Aguayo is the man in 2016 and beyond.
DEFENSE
Defensive Line (10) – Robert Ayers Jr., Gerald McCoy, Clinton McDonald, Jacquies Smith, Akeem Spence, Howard Jones, William Gholston, Noah Spence, Channing Ward, DaVonte Lambert
There were no big surprises here. Rookie DT Lambert and DE Ward are sticking around, as the team will take a look at some fresh options instead of A.J. Francis, Cliff Matthews and Kourtnei Brown. George Johnson was expected to be on this list as another veteran presence coming off the edge, but an offseason hip injury landed him on injured reserve.
Linebackers (5) – Lavonte David, Kwon Alexander, Daryl Smith, Adarius Glanton, Devante Bond
Tampa Bay went through most of last season with six active-roster linebackers, but will start 2016 with one fewer. Extra bodies at other positions means fewer at others, and linebacker is one of these areas. Bond, a sixth-round pick this year, and Glanton, who finished last year with team, are in as backups. The final pair were selected over Luke Rhodes, Micah Awe and Josh Keyes.
Cornerbacks (6) – Brent Grimes, Alterraun Verner, Vernon Hargreaves III, Jude Adjei-Barimah, Johnthan Banks, Josh Robinson
Banks is trying to recover from last year’s nosedive. He fell out of favor with the former regime but will be back to start 2016. Robinson, an offseason free agent acquisition, will join him in providing depth behind the four others who are expected to see the bulk of defensive snaps to start the season.
Safety (4) – Bradley McDougald, Chris Conte, Ryan Smith, Keith Tandy
Smith, selected in the fourth round this spring, joins this group of veterans. Boosting the North Carolina Central product’s stock is that the coaching staff likes him as an option returning kicks. On defense, he’ll join Tandy in spelling the starters. The new defensive staff led by coordinator Mike Smith is going with McDougald at free safety and Conte and strong safety for another year.
Punter (1) – Bryan Anger
The Bucs cut Jacob Schum late last month, ending the competition with Tampa Bay’s free agent pickup out of Jacksonville. Anger performed well this preseason, averaging 48.1 yards on 15 punts, including a long of 55. Anger’s 44.6-yard net average tied him with two others for second best in the league this preseason.
Long Snapper (1) – Andrew DePaola
The third-year pro is back for another year with the Bucs. As is the case with all starting long snappers, the less you hear his name the better.
