NFL Network: Vincent Jackson Out For Weeks
October 28th, 2015
Reporter Ian Rapoport delivered the news on WDAE-AM 620 this morning.
UPDATED:
Jackson left Sunday’s game in Washington with a knee injury, and it appears to be significant but not season-ending, per Rapoport.
Crushing blow to say the least. Mike Evans is sure to see a steady diet of double teams, and with Louis Murphy injured, it seems Russell Shepard is the No. 2 receiver.
UPDATE: Joe asked Bucs offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter if Vincent Jackson was out for Sunday’s game. Koetter wouldn’t answer Joe and instead, advised Joe to ask Bucs coach Lovie Smith.

This sucks
October 28th, 2015 at 12:34 pm
Darn… There goes our Super Bowl chances…
LOL!!!
Sorry, but as a Bucs fan I can only laugh or cry…
October 28th, 2015 at 12:34 pm
That is not good news! Game on…Winston and company! Let’s see whatcha got!
October 28th, 2015 at 12:35 pm
The Bucs have it backwards, adding injury to insult. This team is a ringer proving Murphy’s law.
October 28th, 2015 at 12:38 pm
SON OF A !@%!@%!@%!@%
Now the offense is going to struggle and Lovie is going to get the blame for this too!!

“If Lovie don’t no how to coach so be it… Hard to believe he would get a job offer and you wouldn’t…. Wonder why??? Your idiots that’s why…” – JAB83
“So my advice would be, yes, it’s okay to throw things at your TV when your team has a monumental collapse like the Bucs did on Sunday in Washington. But take a deep breath and understand that it is only going to get worse if you continue to jump from one coach to the next.” – Peter King

This sucks… any status on ASJ?
October 28th, 2015 at 12:46 pm
Cheap shot by Goldson. I thought Sheppard was out too?
October 28th, 2015 at 12:46 pm
This saves Lovie’s job
October 28th, 2015 at 12:46 pm
As if ASJ is a game changer….please…..he’s the big poop!
October 28th, 2015 at 12:50 pm
It is time to unleash Humphries and Hall
October 28th, 2015 at 12:53 pm
Agreed Buc15
October 28th, 2015 at 12:55 pm
Lol Onelove not a single person is blaming Lovie for injury wtf
What might happen is Lovie using it as an excuse potentially

@Lord Cornelius
What happened to you bro?? You used to be one of the good guys! You gave up on the fight and left us on the ship all by ourselves!! Shame on you!!!

Wow, just gets worse
October 28th, 2015 at 1:11 pm
I said it right after the game. I said it again yesterday.
Consider this. Mike Evans has only just come back from an injury himself. If he goes down…
…well…kiss our offense goodbye for the next few games. Minimum.
On the bright side…we might get Jackson and ASJ back at the same time.
October 28th, 2015 at 1:16 pm
We are in need of a wide receiver and I know there are some free agents out there…Wes Welker for one, anyone else?
October 28th, 2015 at 1:21 pm
How about an FSU reunion, sign Preston Parker, He’s available.
October 28th, 2015 at 1:22 pm
That is unfortunate as the offense has been making tremendous strides. I have faith in Koetter and Winston though, so I’m not too worried. As long as Lovie stays out of their way they should be fine. Everything that man touches turns to crap.
October 28th, 2015 at 1:26 pm
Its time for Licht to earn his salary and go trade for a starting WR. Even when Jackson is healthy we need the depth. Goldson is a cheap shot, trash talkin chump. Any one else see Ali Marpet take him on? I have never seen Marpet so angry. He pushed Goldson and he proceeded to do the weakest flop in world history.

Ya know, I was saying all offseason long how important it was for us to go out and add another WR. All offseason long on this website all I heard was how deep our WR’s were…how we had the best combo in the league
And there was CBH, getting laughed at for suggesting how thin we really were and how if one of our top 2 went down how screwed we would be
And now here we are
October 28th, 2015 at 1:34 pm
Onelove I still hope Lovie can turn it around but a lot of my faith was based on how the D played the last 2/3 of last year and this years D has completely regressed from that and I’m sorry but there is no excuse for that when the coach is a defensive guy. We’re literally the worst in the whole league and its not because all the other teams have pro bowlers at every position while we have scrubs. There is proven talent in guys like David/McCoy/Verner/Banks who are looking worse with Lovie than b4 he arrived
October 28th, 2015 at 1:40 pm
@luvmybucs
That’s the guy I have always wanted to buy the team.
October 28th, 2015 at 1:41 pm
Dontaye and Adam Humphries time y’all!
October 28th, 2015 at 1:42 pm
Trade Glennon for a solid WR.
October 28th, 2015 at 1:44 pm
it will be good to see what evans does w out him.
October 28th, 2015 at 1:45 pm
I did some research (NFL Draft Profile) on Dye, Hall, Humphries and Davis.
Based on the physical traits WR’s we’ve had in TC that were cut I must conclude that the remaining WR’s understand the playbook while the guys cut didn’t.
Once Jackson went down and didn’t return to the DC game I figured we’d be looking deep into the bench for help at WR. After concluding that Russell Sheppard was alr3ady on the 53 and Dye was promoted, that leaves Humphries and Hall as the next men up.
The majority of passes caught by Humphries were thrown by Glennon in preseason. That is the same for Hall. So, we really don’t have much game film to make a reasonable decision regarding which of the 2 are best for our current situation and more likely to be promoted to the 53.
The fan favorite seems to be Humphries because he had a pretty good pre-season and seemed to be a (fan projected) Wes Welker clone.
I think that Humphries will get the nod to join the 53 because he may be able to contribute more on ST. It should not go unnoticed that Humphries was the target of the pass that turned into a pick-6. Jus Sayin’
My rating (A-F) of the bench WR’s are as follows.
Humphries: C (ST+, Hands+, Routes?)
Hall: C- (ST?, Hands?, Routes?)
Davis: D (new to playbook)
To be honest, I’m betting that Koetter sticks with the Run Heavy formation whenever possible. This means that only 2 WR’s will be on the field most of the game. I also think that ASJ won’t be back for a few more weeks.
I’m really worried about a Dye/Humphries duo at WR when Evans needs a break. That would suggest that one of the 2, if not both, will have to run deep routes to open up the field for short to middle routes by the TE’s and RB’s.
I’m not sure either Humphries or Dye could get open deep and I’m even more worried about Jameis throwing to them in a 1 on 1 deep situation.
Oh Well, looks like our RB’s and Evans are going to see the majority of passes coming their way. I don’t think that idea will be a mystery to Atlanta.
Go Bucs…!!!!
October 28th, 2015 at 1:48 pm
CBH, I agree. I hope Winston can stay in his groove.
October 28th, 2015 at 2:00 pm
@Lord Cornelius
I know its painful bro. But it’s apart of the rebuilding process. You have to admit your excited about the direction our offense is headed!! That’s 2 years of drafting mostly offense. The foundation is set. Now it’s time for Lovie and Licht to address the defensive side of the ball cuz its UGLY!!!
Another thing is there’s 2 sides to this argument.
On one side you have the respected and admired Peter King….. And on the other side you have bucrightoff and Tampa Tony……”Hi I’m Peter King and I have Direct TV… And I’m bucrightoff, and I have cable….”

@LUVMYBUCS … Eddie Debartolo did in fact change coaches 5 times in 2 years when he bought the 49ers in 1977. But after those first 2 years, he only had 3 HCs total in the whole time he owned them (1977-2000). And all 3 HCs were pretty good: Bill Walsh (10 yrs … 3 SBs), George Seiffert (8 yrs … 2 SBs) and Steve Mariucci (4 yrs with Eddie D).
Beyond hiring some great HCs, Eddie D also made sure everything about the 49ers in those years was done First Class. Best players, best facilities, etc. Why did they win so much you ask? First class organizations usually do.
October 28th, 2015 at 2:27 pm
Sign Nick O’Leary off the Bills practice squad, Give Jameis another familiar target until ASJ, and the rest of our receivers are healthy again!

DefenseRules – The things that Mr. D has done for players & their families over the years is legendary.
October 28th, 2015 at 2:48 pm
This doesnt matter. We would lose anyways even if he played with the Imcompetent one sleepily calling the shots from the sidelines. Take the rest of the year off V-jax and wait til we hire a new coach at the end of the season.
October 28th, 2015 at 3:56 pm
I was wondering who that was that Marpet pushed down. Too many nit picky personal fouls being called by itchy fingered refs.
October 28th, 2015 at 10:08 pm
What happened to VJax ? Does anyone know…
