Dirk Koetter: Noah Spence Will Play Sunday
October 19th, 2018
Change is coming to the Buccaneers defensive line.
You only need one hand to count how many snaps defensive end Noah Spence has had this season. The No. 39 overall pick of the 2016 NFL Draft has been a bust unable to crack the lineup on the NFL’s worst defense.
But that will change Sunday.
Dirk Koetter announced on his Buccaneers Radio Network show this evening that Spence will be active against the Browns and will play.
“Noah will be active and he’ll get a chance to get in there and do some damage,” Koetter said.
Vinny Curry and Gerald McCoy are out with injuries and Spence now has a chance to change his career.
Whatever has been going on with Spence, it won’t matter any longer if he can produce.

Ok Noah Spence, here you go, this is your chance. — This is your chance to make a statement and to make some plays to show that you are going to be a factor on this team going forward. — Take hold of this opportunity and MAKE something of IT.

But will he play special teams?!

Since Spence has been kept off the field by the worst defensive coaching staff in history, it’ll probably turn out that he’s actually progressed incredibly well and gets three sacks lmao

But can he pass block though????
Opps wrong 2nd round pick

“This is why you cant win with a bad GM who continuously wiffs on players…
Nowhere Spence, Ryan Smith, Caleb Benenoch, our 199lber shouldnt be dressed in an NFL game but the team is forced to play these stiffs so the GM wont look bad”

I heard Duffner was asking Spence today if, Molly wanted a cracker?
October 19th, 2018 at 6:32 pm
I’ve already seen more from Carl Nassib than I have Spence. He’s our future starter.
October 19th, 2018 at 7:17 pm
Noah Presence is going to shock the world.
October 19th, 2018 at 7:54 pm
Ok Noah it’s your chance to give us production or decent compensation in a trade because it’s pointless to sit this guy on the bench. Hope he changes his own fortunes Sunday

MULTIPLE SACKS NOAH!!! SHOW US WHO THE MONSTER SPAWN REALLY IS!!!
October 19th, 2018 at 8:20 pm
Told Koetter I’d jump into the line up and he was about to take up my offer, so kinda glad Spence got the nod. See me flung about like a rag doll…
October 19th, 2018 at 8:34 pm
People do not realize he’s a 34 olb it hurts
October 19th, 2018 at 9:01 pm
Ya’ll called him Spawn!
October 19th, 2018 at 9:03 pm
I see the comments about the drugs, has there been a report that I haven’t read that details that is or was his issue? I know there was talk about gaining a lot of weight and loosing it which would point to a PED, but I haven’t read anything confirming that.
October 19th, 2018 at 9:09 pm
I really hope he has 5 sacks- and they fire Koetter and Light
October 19th, 2018 at 9:17 pm
Time to unleash the 4.88 ballooned up 255 pound guy with one move to the outside
October 19th, 2018 at 11:22 pm
is he like some dope fiend or something?…are they hiding him on the bench or something because there’s like a rule or something that maybe if you don’t play a certain amount, you might not be eligible for the random drug testing?…is there a stipulation like that in the rules and they are protecting “yung spawn”???…why is everyone suggesting he is all doped up in the above comments?…
i haven’t heard anything about this inside the publics supermarket i chill at…what’s going on???

October 20th, 2018 at 12:21 am
Get after it Sunday and show us how you got over five sacks with a bum shoulder! I also hope Nassib gets some sacks too so JPP doesn’t get double teams all day!
October 20th, 2018 at 7:49 pm
Way to go numbskull! Starting some baseless drug talk without any evidence whatsoever. Against someone on this team. You call yourself a Bucs fan? No excuse for that garbage. Go Bucs!
October 20th, 2018 at 9:40 pm
How many Bucs players were at 2001 this week?
October 20th, 2018 at 11:41 pm
Terrible defense now besieged with injuries, it’s hard to see this team winning more than 4 more games this year, at best. This team really needs a new coaching staff, one that is more hard-nosed & attentive to details. You need a new guy in charge of finding talent as well, because they are going to find at least three stud defensive players next year to have any hope.

I hope I’m wrong, but the guy has nothing at DE and unfortunately tomorrow will probably more of the same. He should be playing OLB, not DE, but what do I know….
