Bay, Buccaneers suffering
a knee injury during a drill on Thursday. This is one of
the things that I talk about every year. You do this for 20-plus
years, you develop a sense of the
rhythm of the NFL and
we go from best shape of your life. Season 2 someone is
inevitably going to suffer a season-ending injury in
training, camp, Practice
season. And we don't know who we don't know when, but we know
it's going to happen and we've got one already.
That's the case for Ryan Jensen. They haven't come out
and set it yet, and of course,
they probably won't declare it until they've lined up an
alternate plan. Whether it's signing JC Treader something.
Shireen Williams has encouraged on our text chain or trading
until
you come out and say, the guys out for the year. Maybe you
have a little extra leverage in those discussions. Although
right now I think we're all sitting back and bracing for
the news
that there's a torn ACL.
Well, and there will be no 2022 season for the starting center
of the Buccaneers who was ready to go and free agency to
the Bengals. I believe before Tom Brady decided to come back.
Now,
a very vulnerable spot on the offensive line
because how do you get to Brady?
He's able to deal with the pressure on the outside because
will step up into the pocket, get rid of the ball,
traditionally where teams have had success against him. It's
sending guys up the middle and now his Center
potentially gone for the year miles.
All right, I mean if
You're, you know, the other contenders in the NFC is called
a Los Angeles or Green Bay. You've got somebody like Aaron
Donald or you know, Kenny Clarke right. Like this is
where you really can kind of take advantage of this look.
Now it looks like the
Buccaneers the entire,
the entirety of their interior offensive line
is going to be new is going to be different and when you have
your Center, you still got your tackles, you can kind of fill
in at the guard spots, you know? Because those guys,
they're they're between the Variants, dudes. You can figure
that out when
you have to get a new center
and you also have to get new guards because Alex cap is on
the Bangles a Lee, Marvin he's retired. I'm that's not good
news for Tom Brady who came back to you know be 45 and win
the Super Bowl and
I still think they're going to do it. But like
you brought up, you know, Sheree and saying JC Traders
a good option. I think that they've got to go out there and
do it because right now, it looks like it's Robert Haynes.
He's a third-round pick from Year he's in experience and
that doesn't mean he's gonna be bad but I
I would want experience if I've got Tom Brady out there and I'm
trying to win a Super Bowl this year
and it just shows you how those vague and random lightning.
Strikes can change how we feel about a team and I know it's
just one of five offensive linemen but it's a key position
and specifically for Tom Brady,
the guy who was Manning
the wall in the middle
that if that collapses
Tom Brady's, going to have a much. Much harder time,
moving the ball down the field, especially as he gets ready to
turn 45. That birthday is just five days away for Tom Brady.
So
the and they already did lose. I mean we're talking about
the entire interior, the offensive line. If Jensen's out the
the all three positions changing from last year, Alex cap of
the Right Guard went to the Bengals in free agency and Alomar pet
the left guard. Retired
Jensen out for the year if that's the case
that that's a To
not be quite as optimistic about the box and also the rest
of the NFC gets a boost in the nfc's wide open and, you know,
the Rams, yeah, everybody's going to expect them to be
great again and
the Packers, but
if, and this is just an example of what can happen, there can
be an injury to the Rams and injury to the Packers. It
changes everything and it all gets jumbled up, and we're just
getting started in training camp and this is just
a reminder
that things can and will change, and it will change how
we view these teams and the injuries will continue into
the season. It's just Always going to be, there we go. Through six
months of everyone's healthy,
and no one's getting injured to everyone's in a meat grinder.
Now, and those random here and there, and this guy, and that
guy is going to be a major factor in who ultimately wins
the Super Bowl.
