Hamstring Injury Emerges For Ryan Jensen
November 15th, 2018
No, this has nothing to do with center Ryan Jensen rolling a snap back to Ryan Fitzpatrick to quash a second-half drive against the Redskins.
Yesterday, Jensen did not appear on the Buccaneers’ official injury report. But today he was listed with a hamstring injury and was “limited” in practice.
That timing usually means something happened in practice. There’s always a chance it was a hot-tub/champagne injury, but Joe doubts that. Jensen isn’t former Bucs running back Derrick Ward, king of the South Tampa pool party scene.
Man, Joe’s got fingers crossed that Jensen stays healthy. A 40-degree day at the Meadowlands on Sunday isn’t the best tonic for a bad hammy. Jensen hasn’t had a great year, but the alternative is a scary thought.

Waste of money. We haven’t had a good center in a long time
November 15th, 2018 at 7:12 pm
Is Jeff Faine still under contract? If not I think he owes us one or tow games after all the money HE stole!!!!

Highest paid center is another Licht bust
November 15th, 2018 at 7:20 pm
Jenson is a selfish players cant hold hi emotions in check

I don’t know. Jensen may not be the best center in the NFL as he is being paid to be but he’s been okay. There are far bigger issues on this team like, um, QB.

Does it really matter if Manning just dumps off to Barkley and he breaks what other teams would limit to a short 3 or 4 yard play to an explosive one of 20 plus yards to set up TD passes to O’Dell Beckham if the RB does not get the TD himself???????? Bucs are in such a free fall right now that it seems like whatever can go wrong will! I am amazed that a few of the Vegas books still have this game as a pickem or the Giants only favored by 1. I want the Bucs to win but this is like the late 80s all over again with Perkins. Bad coach, poor drafts, bad free agent signings equal teams that are lucky to go 6 and 10 (just enough wins to miss out on the top shelf gems in the April draft). This team has a better chance of going Rah and dropping 10 straight…….

Mankins needs to tell these guys where the secret BBQ joints are.

OBJ needs a ‘highlight reel’ game
This maybe it against the Bucs secondary
November 15th, 2018 at 8:01 pm
Fitz is gonna be running for his like out there (like usual).
November 15th, 2018 at 8:04 pm
We should be able to get a center with our 2nd round pick next year 😉

Watching this franchise is like watching a bad car wreck where there are fatalities and its hard to look.
November 15th, 2018 at 8:19 pm
The buccaneers are full of beta male simps, especially big fat softie Gerald McCoy and “make the worse decision” Jamies Winston
November 15th, 2018 at 8:29 pm
Sweezy has a solo tackle tonight- pretty sure that is one more than Vea for the year, just sayin’😜
November 15th, 2018 at 8:44 pm
If he can’t play I’m sure the coaches will have the brilliant idea of moving Marpet back over to center (I like Marpet but he’s not a center, he’s a guard) and putting Cappa in at guard (who looked like he didn’t even belong in the NFL all preseason), that way you can make two positions weaker instead of one!
November 15th, 2018 at 8:47 pm
jj… Sweezy looks good so far. I’ve been isolating on him. Coaching?? Scheme??? IDK.
November 15th, 2018 at 8:50 pm
Pretty sure Sweezy knew Bucs organization was crap so he did whatever he needed to collect his money and leave. Now he’s starting on another team!!!
November 15th, 2018 at 8:51 pm
I swear the true problem is our ownership. The glazers spoiled brats do not know how to run an NFL business (except for collecting paychecks!!!!)
November 15th, 2018 at 8:53 pm
Glazers eating lobster tonight, they don’t care about Bucs fans problems
November 15th, 2018 at 9:07 pm
Glazers are beta males running a beta male team
November 15th, 2018 at 9:16 pm
Sweezy looks good. Better than any play that the Bucs have had at right guard at any point. Must be Winston..
November 15th, 2018 at 9:28 pm
I don’t know what to think about the Bucs overall any longer. Nothing changes much like winning. Eagerly awaiting the change to competing once again. The Bucs have become a soap opera of losing, each episode uglier than the last in a downward spiral of man I must be a glutton for punishment.
November 15th, 2018 at 9:35 pm
If you lived through the Cloverhouse era you wouldn’t be complaining about the Glazers. It can be much, much, worse.
November 15th, 2018 at 9:45 pm
It is much much worse because it’s now, not 30 yrs ago.
November 15th, 2018 at 10:27 pm
It is worse. It is now. And same kind of garbage product being put not the field for the fans.
November 15th, 2018 at 10:52 pm
JR Sweezy is garbage
One of the lowest rated guards at PFF
44.8 | 70th ranked
He’s tied with Caleb Benenoch
He looks bad every time I watched the Seahawks
November 15th, 2018 at 10:56 pm
Agree, and I have seen the PFF rating. But watching him tonight, he looks good especially in the running game. Anything that ties he and Benenoch, I do have to question. No way are they in the same ball park. Just on raw effort, I’d rather have Sweezy. Remember, PFF are the same group that rated OJ80 as the worst draft pick of 2016.
November 15th, 2018 at 10:58 pm
PFF is very unkind to Ryan Jensen.
November 15th, 2018 at 11:19 pm
I believe Koetter covered this in his press conference. I think he said it was a minor thing and Jenson might still play, but that they have three options for center if he cannot: Evan Smith, Ali Marpet, and Alex Cappa.
Yeah, that last one surprised me too. Apparently, they’ve been having Cappa practice at center. Koetter said he’s the least ready though.
My first thought on hearing this?
None of the other rookies were ready either, but injuries put them in the fire.
November 15th, 2018 at 11:25 pm
Hey. Jensen been alright. Early on he was the ground alot been he has been solid. I don’t see what other ppl see. Yeah he missed a few blocks but this is not a constistent team Jensen is lined up next to Benenoch so there you have it
November 16th, 2018 at 6:00 am
Jenson got a lot of credit to begin the season. Maybe Licht got this one right. Since he got sick the Bucs have only won one game.
November 16th, 2018 at 7:35 am
Ali Marpet was a better center!!!!!!!!
Go Bucs!!!!!!!!!!!!

OJ Howard deserved the low grade from PFF last season
He played more than 600 snaps. He ran a route on about 40 percent of those snaps. What happened on the other 60 percent?
His run-blocking grade rated 47th out of 54 qualifying tight ends. His pass-blocking grade rated 69th out of 74 qualifying tight ends.
This season he’s running more routes than blocking
He has the highest grade at PFF among TE
His grade is 86.9

Rod Munch Says:
“If you lived through the Cloverhouse era you wouldn’t be complaining about the Glazers. It can be much, much, worse.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Absolutely 100% true, Rod. — At that time, ownership was completely hopeless. I do NOT feel like the Glazers are not trying. They just may need to go back to the drawing board unfortunately.
November 16th, 2018 at 3:40 pm
Incompetence isn’t the same thing as not trying. Plus the Glazers got this team a SB, that counts for a lot, and if you don’t believe me talk to any Vikings fan, or if you can find one, any Falcons fan.
