“Keep Our Jobs On Three”
August 30th, 2016
America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, huddled up your beloved Buccaneers following pre-practice stretching this afternoon.
Jameis’ message was loud enough to be heard, and it was a message of sensitivity.
Jameis mostly talked about players needing to practice hard to “keep our jobs.”
The Bucs and the rest and the NFL will start cutting players later this week to get down to the mandatory 53-man roster. Right now, rosters can have up to 75 players following this week’s cut from 90.
Obviously, Jameis has a job guaranteed — along with a fat pile of guaranteed cash. But today, it was all about relating to his Bucs family that’s about to lose some brothers.
Jameis closed the session asking for the traditional hands in the air and group one-liner to start practice. Today, Jameis everyone to yell, “Keep our jobs on three.” And they did.

Raise that level Jameis.

I love this qb and I love our coach and it’s about damn time we had this

Unlike the draft and FA signings….this is the time of year that is somewhat sad for the NFL….it’s time for cuts…..many of them…..after all the cuts the NFL teams will collectively cut that’s 1184 players……a staggering number of players with a dagger in their lifelong childhood dreams. Only the best of the best will make it…..some 320 will get a reprieve and make it to the practice squads.

Saddest time of the year, in the NFL
In the next few days, young men , Who have trained for this their entire lives, will be told they arent good enough
Many are good enough. But they are stuck betind a draft choice, stacked roster, or dont fit that teams scheme
Its a bad few days to be in the locker room. All the tension from guys, afraid to hear their phone ring, or to get a text
I wish them all good luck

Americas QB makes the previous years worth it.

Last thing in the world any NFL player wants this time of year is a visit from The Turk – saying “coach wants to see you and bring your playbook”. Sadly, about 20 Buccaneers will get that visit on Thursday or Friday. Many will get another chance or 2 to continue their NFL dream – but for some, this is it! They have been playing football most of their lives and its all about to come to an abrupt end.

I agree with Tampabaybucfan, Capt Tim and Pickgrin … this is a sad time of year for some of those who’ve worked all their life to get to this point. Some will catch on elsewhere, but for many the dream ends here. Many of us have tasted that disappointment ourselves I’m sure. But as Thomas Edison so beautifully said “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” The hard work and perseverance that got them to this point will help them succeed in other endeavors. Hang tough guys.

Good attitude. Sometimes the veterans need to be reminded of the fact that they are always playing for their jobs.

“Only the best of the best will make it”
Tell that to the 3 players who held the 54th spot on the roster in 2010, ’11 and ’12 – and thus got cut in favor of Myron Lewis…

Bridgewater done for the year….sad news for Viking fans. Really thought they would make it back to playoffs.

Who gives a crap about the Vikings? This is a Bucs fans message board. Get the heck outta here dude!
August 30th, 2016 at 4:16 pm
I say trade Glennon for a third round pick to the Vikings.
August 30th, 2016 at 4:16 pm
Vega, they are in the NFC aren’t they? It’s conference news! Chill bruh.
August 30th, 2016 at 4:16 pm
Vega., Ohhhh so now my comment becomes relevant?
August 30th, 2016 at 4:39 pm
@Pickgrin
Right…I should have said……who “they” think are the best of the best……because “MyLew” sure wasn’t……he and many other Dominick draft losers…..

Dislocated knee for Bridgewater….maybe career ending (depends how dislocated it is). SUCKS for him and the team.
August 30th, 2016 at 5:00 pm
Glennon for Cordarrelle Patterson, straight up.
Win/Win for both teams…. at least i feel so.
Glennon would have a whole year to showcase whether he can be a starting QB in the league in a contract year for him.
Patterson would make a GREAT #3 or #4 receiver behind Jackson and Evans. Plus, he could hopefully learn behind VJ, a benefit that Evans has taken advantage of.

Celly not bad. Cordarelle has speed but he’s no No. 1 receiver so it’s a fair trade. Love Teddy so that sucks..thought we should have taken him in that draft but glad we have Jameis. Hope he has a speedy recovery

Saying Bridgewaters leg snapped and knee was flailing around, reportedly players threw up seeing it
August 30th, 2016 at 6:10 pm
Yeah terrible news bout Bridgewater – Hopefully he comes back better & stronger then before.
August 30th, 2016 at 6:18 pm
Surely Glennon is smart enough to know that if no one is sniffing around for him by now for a trade, then his best option is to resign with the Bucs.
August 30th, 2016 at 6:22 pm
Sad to see – TWO former Vols on the roster bubble.
#15 Justin Hunter WR (25) 6-4 | 203 Tennessee
#84 Cordarrelle Patterson WR (25) 6-2 | 220 Tennessee

Love it. LOVE it. This kid’s commitment is outta sight so far. My biggest fear was the losing culture dragging him down; now I wonder if my greatest hope of him dragging us UP is coming true.

Man, it wasn’t just what we call “Buc Luck” that hit Bridgewater, it was freaky bad luck. Wasn’t his injury a no-contact one? It certainly could be career-ending for the young man. I know American football is a rough sport, but I still hate seeing this stuff happen. It’s happened to the Bucs, too. Vike fans, we feel for ya (at least I do).
