Cairo Santos Gets A Job

September 4th, 2019

Congratulations to the second-best Buccaneers kicker in training camp this summer. (We hope!)

Cairo Santos wasn’t special last year with the Bucs after he stopped the suffering Chandler Catanzaro inflicted upon Tampa Bay fans. So the Bucs proceeded to draft rookie kicker Matt Gay, who won this summer’s kicking competition with Santos.

It sounds like a happy ending. But that could change in Week 8. That’s when the Bucs will head north to take on Santos’ new team. The Tennessee Titans signed him today and placed 10-year-veteran kicker Ryan Succop on injured reserve.

Joe is happy Santos landed on his feet. However, this feels like something the football gods have orchestrated as they always seek — and find — ways to torture the Bucs faithful.

    Again no reason to be negative in this piece but yet here it is again. Disgusting!

  2. Buc1987 Says:

    Yep I’m still going to be holding my breath when they kick.

    Go Gay!

    Go Bucs!

    Is Santos a buc? If not, nobody cares.

    Jon Robinson > Jason Licht

  5. tmaxcon Says:

    gay will let the bucs down he’s not the answer that being said he can play the victim / depression card and all will be forgiven…. no one likes excuses more than a bucfan

  6. GhostofSchiano Says:

    I used to think the kicking game was fairly simple. Then along comes Jason Gump. A wasted second round pick, a kickers carousel, chip shots missed, games lost, Jason Freakin Gump.

    2020 will be the year “Dump the Gump” “Lose the Licht” “Erason Jason”

    “Fire Licht Now”

    Ndog, how can anyone be positive about the bucs? Feel like you need to come back to reality.

    I just got word, from a Bucs insider, of the new cheer designates for our new bicker. Our male cheerleader will be leading the team in this one. “Go deep Gay, Go deep Gay”. To be followed by a KY formation on the sidelines.

    T- 4 days left for lames like berto Ndog, trust me he won’t have much to say after Sunday. Also I noticed some of you dimwits took offense to me saying joe “days are numbered” the other day. Well they are, if spinning the negatives is the only way he is capable of going about trying to convey a message about this team to his audience. See, that’s going to prove a lot more difficult starting Sunday. Either he’ll find a new format. Or this whack @$$ site will die. Highly doubt he has the balls to allow this one.

    Jason Licht answers to BA at this point. BA wanted Gay and Santos was let go. This is BA’s team and Licht is essentially making perfunctory decisions. BA is the ultimate decision maker when it comes to personnel. I’ve been in the anti Licht camp for 2 years but it’s pointless to complatat this point. If team isn’t successful the blame will be shared.

  15. sunshine Says:

    ok Tony c ..how do you know that Licht doesn’t still run the show ?..Im wondering if you maybe you work for the bucs as you seem so positive and we agree Licht is a terrible gm

    I don’t recall a more pessimistic doomy “what if” X 1000 type vibe on JBF compared to this offseason. There’s so many “this is how this could go SUPER bad and make us all depressed” type stories lol.

    I get it man. This team has been really hard to follow. Must be even harder to report on. I hope they throw you guys and all of us a freaking bone and go win some damn games and look like a good team for once.

    GO BUCS!

  19. christopher Says:

    Yeah. Joe has the worst PTSD of any Bucs fan I’ve ever seen.

  20. Buccaroo Says:

    good for Cairo

  21. K2 Says:

    If Santos over-powers the Bucs…we deserve to lose.

    Are you a Bucs fan? If not, you’re pathetic. If you are, you called yourself pathetic.

  23. Buccfan37 Says:

    I expect Gay to miss some but hit the majority including the long kicks.

  24. DR FEELGOOD Says:

    Tennessee won’t be trying FGs when they’re down 21 points. Shrimpy Santos can have fun with that. I am glad he found a job. Gay IS the answer and has shown every reason why he is. To assume otherwise is psychiatric in nature.

  25. tmaxcon Says:

    Brandon

    What’s pathetic is the on field product for the last two decades outside of sapp and grudens glory year this team is the laughingstock of the sports world…. optimistic sheep like yourself are a glazers wet dream … I’d bet you’d purchase ocean front property from them in Wyoming 8f 5hey offered it to you. Your blind loyalty to losers is sad and pathetic pal…. hate you want byt actual on field results prove I’m right and you’re just glazer fanboy drinking cool aid…. results matter…. free passes and false hope are for the mentally weak glazer trained sheep

  26. firethecannons Says:

    those damn football gods! no doubt Santos will be making game winners 60+ yards going forward

  27. Chris Cotten Says:

    I really wish there was a way you Joes could boot this “tmaxcon” off the planet, he’s a f”ing problem

  28. Diego Says:

    You are wrong:
    Cairo was the better kicker in the Camp (he hit 91% of his kicks and Gay hit just 80%).
    The Bucs only signed Gay because he was drafted and is cheaper than Santos.

  29. Trubucfan22 Says:

    Looks like the sky is still falling in joebucsworld. Always taking the time to add in a little unnecessary pessimism to really drag down the fans before the season starts. Good work as always boys.

    Brandon for the win! Down goes Tmax…..

    In BA I Trust!
