“He Got His Flight Already”
December 19th, 2017
Adarius Glanton gets humiliated on national TV
Bucs linebacker Adarius Glanton suffered an ugly leg injury last night against the Falcons, but he also bruised the pride of the Tampa Bay organization with a shameful loaf.
And he got called out on it.
Just when Joe finally got over the brutal loaf by Brent Grimes in the previous game (video here), Glanton had to go ahead and give up on a Devonta Freeman run last night.
On NFL Network after the game, Reggie Bush and Reggie Wayne showed the film and blasted Glanton. Bush even said, “He got his flight already.”
Disgraceful stuff.
Bush goes on to dissect poor mental play by Robert Ayers and Kwon Alexander and says “Tampa Bay’s defense didn’t show up today.”
Joe still can’t believe how poor some of the Bucs’ tackling was through the game. Kwon had 13 solo tackles but still managed to have Bucs fans pulling their hair out. T.J. Ward? The way he tackles most of the time he might as well have no arms.
Watch the full video below.

Glanton has had a ton more of positives than that one play. Seriously JOE, there have been a 100 of these types of plays. Glanton has done well with the little time he has played. I refuse to take part in the bashing. There were far more positives last night than negatives. They picked apart the bucs because they are losing this season. They hyped the Falcons because they won.

Teams don’t practice much if any full speed contact in practice….league wide there is a lot of knock down hits rather than blow up tackles….that said our DB’s laid some fly into the hole collisions last night

Thi Buc Defense with the exception of maybe 5 players needs to be gutted and replaced. Save the Charmin tissues for losers! Get us a fire up Defensive coordinator who roams the sidelines with his troops instead of eating nachos in the PressBox. You’d think since sitting upstairs all yr long did no good, DC pressbox Smitty would make a..surprise cameo appearance on the sidelines..Just once to rally his platoons. Nope, he’s comfortable up there on his perch looking down on his minions. Fire Smitty..today if not sooner!!
December 19th, 2017 at 9:41 am
Was that the play Ward got (another) concussion?
What causes a defense to not show up like that? Honestly, I want to know. Is it coaching?
December 19th, 2017 at 9:48 am
I can’t even listen to that blow hard…

Not sure if it’s cause of the injury but Kwon has been really bad against the run this year. He can’t get off his blocks. More concerning is Beckwith, I thought his bigger frame would make him more of a force in the run game but he keeps getting washed out by his blockers as well. They lack physicality and that’s because their camp was a breeze. If Koetter stays, then I hope he hits a lot more as early as possible.
December 19th, 2017 at 10:10 am
Our defense has just been down right bad. Someone will pay for this and I believe it will be coach Smith. Man I wish we had gotten Swartz when we had the chance. Go Bucs!
December 19th, 2017 at 10:13 am
What does “got his flight already” even mean? LOL
December 19th, 2017 at 10:33 am
Yep, but somehow, some kind of way, we’ll find a way to blame this on a DT!
Why? Why is TJ Ward on the field?! Can anyone answer this question?! Conte looks like an All-Pro compared to Ward!
Wow, just wow!
December 19th, 2017 at 10:43 am
tmax: yeah because the defense didn’t play with any heart during the pats game. You’re so lame, dude. Now go ahead and talk about me being a nut hugger of gmc and fan boy… you’re so predictable. I feel bad for your ex wife and kids!
December 19th, 2017 at 10:45 am
^^^ wow that was meant for another article. Joe, your site took me to the wrong article 😉
December 19th, 2017 at 10:58 am
that’s been the theme of the year….either the defense doesn’t show up or the offense doesn’t show up…..that points to coaching….falcons fans were clowning us….nfl network was clowning us….that was another embarrassing performance….GO BUCS!!!!

The Falcons had twice as many negative plays than the Bucs. Devonta Freeman fumbles, drop passes, missed tackles, stupid penalties, Matt Ryan missing wide open receivers etc. I don’t watch these Dumb Clowns on television, and I don’t listen to them on radio.
December 19th, 2017 at 11:11 am
The defense hasn’t shown up all year.
Gave up 200 yards rushing twice this year
Gave up 150+ yards rushing six times this year.
Gave up 300+ yards passing in 7 games including:
301- Mike Glennon
369- case Keemun
303- Brady
365 – Mia with Matt Moore throwing for 285 in relief
317- Ryan
381 – Stafford
So if you think the dline was missing McIceCream last night you’re wrong. In the 2 games with ATL in the past 3 weeks:
W McCoy v wo McCoy
34 points v 24 points
11/14 third down conv vs. 9/15
516 total yards v 410
368 pass yards v 209
148 rush yards v 201
75% comp v 54% comp
Same team 3 weeks apart.

That’s not loafing
December 19th, 2017 at 11:42 am
The front 7 was horrific last night.
How many TD saving tackles did Conte have? Poor guy got trucked like 10X.
December 19th, 2017 at 11:43 am
Glanton got abused by Freeman all night and the Falsons all night. Then again the pass rush was non-existent so that didn’t help.
December 19th, 2017 at 11:49 am
@DB55 : Those numbers numbers….really…they mean absolutely nothing!!!!!
December 19th, 2017 at 11:55 am
“Media cannot be played”
December 19th, 2017 at 11:59 am
They mean the McIceCream does nothing to improve this defense. They play harder without him/her/it whatever.
December 19th, 2017 at 12:05 pm
I’ve seen others loaf
Joe can you write on all Players please
This team HAS to get a Win Attitude
Look at the side line during the game it’s oh well we are flat today attitude
December 19th, 2017 at 12:09 pm
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense 2015
Rushing 1606 Yards
Passing Yards 3840
Sacks 38
Tampa bay Buccaneers Defense 2017
Rushing 1673
Passing 3798
Sacks 18
There’s still two games left
December 19th, 2017 at 12:09 pm
Bucamania so true about poor Conte. He took on RBs coming at him full speed numerous times last night.
December 19th, 2017 at 12:22 pm
and we maxed out at 21 points yet again….GO BUCS!!!!
December 19th, 2017 at 12:24 pm
@Lakeland
and people will still sit here and say this defense is better than what we had in 2015…..GTFOH!!!!
PS…..WHERES @REALIST?……GO BUCS!!!!

Put an asterick on those numbers…in game 1 we had Julio being covered by a rookie. In game 2, he was covered by Grimes, who plays like an all-pro when needed. There is the difference not GMC.
December 19th, 2017 at 12:32 pm
@DB55
Yep. I don’t even care about the stats. Visually our pass rush was better with GMC out.
His style of play is NOT conducive to the D_line playing better. He has never made any player around him better; and players like McDonald looked better playing next to someone else.
I am not a D-line expert; but it seems like McCoy is an all or nothing player. Either he gets in with a first step and can get some disruption / pressure; or he is completely taken out of the play. And I’ve seen him quit on those type of plays instead of hussling through it and still trying to make a play.
I’m done. Move him for an ice cream sandwich if that’s all you can get.
December 19th, 2017 at 12:59 pm
For a microcosm, on one play I watched as all four Dlinemen got squished into one pile during the worst looking stunt I’ve ever seen. Looked like when the 3 Stooges (in this case 4 Stooges) try to go through a door at the same time. Don’t any of them have a spin move or ANY kind of move?! The way ATL ran sweeps, it was like we were playing without the benefit of having DEs or OLBs. That’s scheme and a complete inability to adjust. There is not a single coach on the Defensive side of the ball that should have a have a job after the season is over.
December 19th, 2017 at 1:12 pm
Yea, I don’t know where you guys saw all this “fire”. What I saw was a d-line that got pushed around, LBs out of position, safeties getting ankles broken, and tackles being missed all over the place! Did I miss something? Oh, that’s right, Julio didn’t hang 200+ yards on us.
Can we please stop putting TJ Ward on the field?! Please?!
December 19th, 2017 at 1:13 pm
Grimes didn’t follow jones. They were playing the same tired zone as usual.
December 19th, 2017 at 1:14 pm
Oh, and 10 players on the field in the red zone! Yea, they played lights out!!!
December 19th, 2017 at 1:16 pm
The fact is that we don’t have much talent on that side of the ball. We adjusted to Julio and the Falcons adjusted to us adjusting (aka Davonte Freeman!).
December 19th, 2017 at 2:00 pm
I couldn’t get through the whole video. They’re just shooting fish in a barrel pointing out how poorly coached and undisciplined they are.
December 19th, 2017 at 2:05 pm
Our Offense outplayed theirs. What does this tell you Einsteins? Steive Wonder can see it without..DC Smitty’s binoculars!!
December 19th, 2017 at 3:59 pm
Glanton is a back up. Did we expect him to play at the level of LVD? Did we expect him to cover freeman one on one and win that matchup? No we didn’t. No use pouring salt on the wound.
December 19th, 2017 at 4:14 pm
In the end u have to not like ur coach.
We have 6-10 talent and I get that
But no lack of effort
December 19th, 2017 at 6:30 pm
Destin Johnny their record is going to say they have 4-12 talent in two weeks.
December 19th, 2017 at 11:32 pm
@DB55
seeing it your way. GMC aint really making a difference in results for us
lots btchn bout the knees, crying on the field-needed consoling–wtf
big money for him, getting into his older years
maybe we could get a second rounder
vita vea?
