Bucs Players Think Too Many Walk-Through Practices Hurt The Team

So who does that fall on?
One person guys. Anyone have any ideas? Could be anybody
I’m glad Yaya put his name on it
Well that explains quite a bit
Todd is an awful coach yet Arians is letting his friendship blind that.
At least that proves that *not* practicing doesn’t cure the injury bug
Ya think?! 🤦♂️
New coaching staff and also a new strength and conditioning staff please.
I guess walk throughs are ok for a veteran team but when you have a lot of young players in skill positions (WR/DB) live reps should be for learning; not games. Also didn’t really stave off the injury bug.
Yeah, well Bucs “Player-Focused HC” Todd Bowles has delivered this quote in response during his press conference:
“I don’t care how you feel, I care how you play”
It’s on the players to capitalize on walk-throughs. Without the process they wouldn’t have been on the cusp of another division title with a losing record. /s
I don’t get it bro how can the glazers not see the writing on the wall. Having these guy put out a mediocre product every year isn’t good enough to win this division anymore. Losing teams mean less merchandise sales, less game tickets, less prime time coverage. Bottom line he’s costing them money in the long run, so just payout his fucking contract already.
Bro this is literally just a coach be scared and afraid.
Every team deals with injuries it’s part of the fucking game. Your plan is to have less contact then wonder why your defense can’t tackle?
You don’t get any live reps and wonder why there are communication errors in the back end?
Wonder why we can rush the passer? Well we always get home in walkthroughs.
Practice how you play and apparently for us that means “soft”
Next year will be a wasted year.
I just gained a ton of respect for Yaya
This should absolutely be fireable
There’s a petition on Change.org to fire Bowles. Let’s all sign it please!
Look I get it, but why would you go full speed, when half the offense is injured?
Decision is on Glazers but Arians needs to not vouch and own up to Bowles being unqualified. Licht needs to do same..if they both can agree to that, Glazers will ask who they would replace with and they should have few candidates. I think this will be important if they want Bucs fans to care.
I just saw the dates we had walk throughs. No wonder we went 2-7 after the bye. Seems like Bowles really didn’t have them prepared
I remember Ronde reacting to Bowles giving them the bye week off saying he never had a bye week off in his career
It’s pretty clear all season that was part of the problem. You could see a huge step back in terms of the ability to tackle which you really can’t practice outside of live reps. You can’t walk through tackling. Also you can sense a little bit in terms of just how play ready guys were on game day as the team always started out slow and then got up to game speed in the second half
You don’t lose physicality overnight. You coach it out of a team. Soft practices create soft Sundays. Leadership problem. Thanks bowles!
Shoutout Yaya for calling this clown out on his shit.
I can’t get out of this thread bc it’s blowing my fucking mind.
More walkthroughs so guys don’t get hurt, how many injuries did we have in practice?
Zyon and Dean got hurt in game, Kancey hurt in game, Mike and McMillan in game, Bucky in game.
Why did we thing going super soft in practice would help that?
Was he telling the other coaches on Sunday to go less hard so no one gets hurt.
How is this alone not a fireable offense?
Does this sound like something Dungy or Gruden would have done?
Yaya should het the C just based on the guts to say this
The team tackled like it walked through practice all week also.

Jfc what are we doing here.
