Inactives For The Bucs Today

October 21st, 2012

The Bucs just released who will not suit up today on Throwback Sunday as the Bucs host the Saints today. And the victims are:

RB Michael Smith

DB Keith Tandy

LB Jacob Cutrera

LB Najee Goode

C Cody Wallace

WR Chris Owusu

TE Danny Noble

It just blows Joe’s mind that Michael Smith is not active. Again.

Bucs coach Greg Schiano has stated how the Bucs kickoff return team needs to improve, yet the Bucs keep speedster Smith on the bench.

Doesn’t add up for Joe.

    Channel13 has skins giants game on Verizon TV guide. This game is being televised right?

    I’m with you Joe, just dont understand how they can keep a guy with 4.3 speed on the bench without even seeing what he can do in a live game.

    As well as Smith did in th pre-season on kick off returns and considering the issues we have had in kick returning this season, it does stick out as a mystery why Smith hasnt done enough to get a shot returning kicks.

    However… considering Smiths small size, being 4th on the HB depth chart and the fact that guy like Rejus Benn have been playing special teams… it makes since.

    I wonder if Smith is even too small to play kick coverage.

    agreed Joe

    and factor in Benn’s knee injury last year it really makes no cents.

    Those guides are not official

    Coz he runs a 4.3 don’t mean he is a good returner. You might have speed but it takes vision and skill

    You obviously didnt see Smith return kicks in PS, was VERY effective, and he’s as big as Martin, and MUCH faster.

  9. NJBuc Says:

    Agree with Joe, Martin has done enuff to be the third down back, keep Ware down and bring this guy up

    Great Cheerleader pic. She is active…

  11. Bucnjim Says:

    I’m sure it has more to do with ball security then anything else. Must be putting the ball on the turf in practice.

    All things you need to determine in a live game against real competition.

    After Benn’s KO return to the 8 yd line today we might very well see Smith back there next game.
