“The Gronk-Type Running Skills”
September 9th, 2014
Nothing quite like film study to get Joe aroused. It’s not cheerleader arousal, but still fun nonetheless.
Remember that big catch and run by rookie tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins on the Bucs’ opening offensive series Sunday?
Well, it’s all broken down fantastically for you here in a new Xs and Os segment by former tight end Anthony Becht for Buccaneers.com. Check out the link. You’ll love it.
Becht breaks down the 26-yard catch by the young manbeast over the middle, and you get a good look at his “Gronk-type running skills,” as Becht calls them. Josh McCown also deserves kudos for a great throw. Close observers also will note that either Mike Evans or Doug Martin did not run a precise route for the play. Martin is way to close to Evans.
Last night on Total Access on WDAE-AM 620, Lovie Smith lamented how Seferian-Jenkins hurt his ankle early in the game and was limited the rest of the way.
Lovie was glad, however, that Seferian-Jenkins got a big play and stressed the importance of getting rookies involved and successful early in their first season.
The head coach was very clear that his rookie tight end will be a big a critical component to the Bucs winning games this season. That play was just a tiny taste.

That was definitely a highlight…as well a soft hands Mike Evans

Article needs proofreading Joe
Huh?–Joe

But yeah, agree with everything you say. Now if only our O-line can buy enough time and McCown can play calm to locate him and other Dunkaneers more often.

It looked like there was a bit of a rhythm developing toward the end of the game between McCown and the receivers. Not sure if it’s because of the softened defense, as has been suggested, but it’s encouraging to see them completing passes. Hoping to see that in quarters 1-3 going forward

ASJ buying your jersey next brotha

Pablo thinks Joe made a typo . What Is Gronk? Joe has some explaining to do ..
Umm, that would be Rob Gronkowski. –Joe

Is Seferian-Jenkins ankle injury a problem going forward?
September 9th, 2014 at 2:20 pm
Perhaps. Time will tell.

With the way other teams’ TE’s torch the Bucs, it is about time the Bucs to the same in return. It may also help the Bucs prepare better for opponents.

Joe If Glennon made wright look like an equal value to a pro-bowl guard, just think what Glennon will do with ASJ!!!

Only idiots attempt to proofread and correct the writing of those more intelligent them themselves.
September 9th, 2014 at 2:43 pm
^ “than” themselves
September 9th, 2014 at 2:44 pm
Yes Joe can you proofread the part where he says “now, we’re going to look at the first touchdown we scored which came in the fourth quarter with 5 mins left in garbage time”. I think he left out the !!!!

problem is mcclown still can’t see wide open 6’5 receivers.
how many times did he completely not see them open or wait and take a sack. sickening. when he did hit ASJ the O line gave him enough time to eat a snack before the throw. enough BS about the O line. they played admirable given their pedigree. ASJ looked good, but mcclown needs to go NOW before we get completely demoralized should we lose to the rams.

Stop making me drool.

Forest Gump can run all he wants but what good is it if he doesn’t get the dam ball! Joes “Man Child Beast” should stop complaining about a rolled ankle. He should take Mccown and Teddy into an elevator where no one can see and throw left hooks until they guarantee he will get the ball this Sunday! #RayRice

Yeah, I did like the way he runs after catching the ball. Hard to bring down.

Speaking of running skills LaMichael James formerly of the 49ers is available

I know this is way off topic, but where are all the “Trade Martin to the Ravens for a Second rounder” people at. I really thought they would be around banging the drum and articles written ?
September 9th, 2014 at 3:32 pm
Good article Joe but please refrain forever of sharing anything that arouses you. Reminds me of two old men Ron and Ian constantly sloppering on their mikes daily for girls old enough to be their grandchildren. Pretty disturbing.

We could have Jerry Rice n Montana. Brady n Gronk. Would not matter with this o line.

Enough with the proof reading crap. Were you able to comprehend the article? Yes? Then move on & talk football. ASJ can be a good player but we need reliable QB play to further evaluate his true potential.
September 9th, 2014 at 5:01 pm
Not only a reliable QB but a reliable o line. The Panthers d line were getting pressure on McCown’s 3 step drops. Combine pressure with a career backup QB = FAIL.
September 9th, 2014 at 5:42 pm
And Just Like ” Gronk ” one big play and DONE !
Can’t help the club in the Tub !

“Close observers also will note that either Mike Evans or Doug Martin did not run a precise route for the play. Martin is way to close to Evans.”
I think this is what the grammar police above were referring to-maybe? Should “either” be “neither?” I enjoy the blog. Thanks.
