O.J. Out
November 1st, 2019
Update.
Bad news from One Buc Palace.
Stud tight end untouchable O.J. Howard has been ruled out of Sunday’s game by Bucs coach Bucco Bruce Arians. That’s the word from Jenna Laine of ESPN.
Per Laine, Arians said during his post-practice remarks today that Howard will not be available against the Seahawks because of a lingering hamstring issue. Howard was also unavailable last week at Nashville.
And who knows how much fellow tight end Cam Brate can play? He’s dealing with an injured rib and has been limited this week in practice.
Could this be a game where Antony Auclair steps up, or will he be used mostly as a blocking tight end?
Intrigue!
November 1st, 2019 at 12:48 pm
How? Not like he’s utilized anyways
November 1st, 2019 at 12:49 pm
dalvin cook is playing
November 1st, 2019 at 12:51 pm
oj hasnt played since he caught that ball in the playoffs…at least he is playoff ready
November 1st, 2019 at 12:53 pm
Isn’t Antony Auclair SUPPOSED to be our blocking Tight End?
November 1st, 2019 at 12:55 pm
Seems OJ is always hurt
November 1st, 2019 at 12:56 pm
lol all these FSU homers wishing they had Dalvin Cook. if we want to play the hind sight is 20/20 game there are four guys that went after him we could use much more then a running back.
November 1st, 2019 at 12:57 pm
What’s new that’s the norm for him every season.
November 1st, 2019 at 12:58 pm
He’ll be hurt until a new Offensive Coordinator replaces “Moron Suckwich”
November 1st, 2019 at 1:01 pm
Becoming another Jackie Harris, unquestionable talent and a mismatch, but couldn’t stay on the field.
November 1st, 2019 at 1:14 pm
FYI…im a UF homer…but dalvin cook was the pick not oj howard..as well as Laremy Tunsil was the pick not former gator slug vh3….licht has a history of horrible drafts that builds a 5-11 franchise…who builds a team from the outside in and expects to win….arians destroyed the cards and now he will bury the bucs
November 1st, 2019 at 1:17 pm
lol Dalvin Cook was not the hot pick. TJ Watt, Ryan Ramczyk or Tre’Davious White would help this team infinitely more then a running back if we want to play the hind sight is 20/20 game. also I agree with you on the Tunsil over VHIII pick.
November 1st, 2019 at 1:28 pm
Tank tank tank….oh yeah, we needed this….closer to a top 5 draft pick for our future QB!
November 1st, 2019 at 1:29 pm
Just watch us Draft Grant Delpit instead of a QB with a top 5 pick.
November 1st, 2019 at 1:32 pm
If Jameis avoids giving the ball away and our defensive backs shut down the seahawks–WE WIN.—PIECE OF CAKE!!!!!!!!
November 1st, 2019 at 1:34 pm
Peyton Barber up the middle!!!
November 1st, 2019 at 1:36 pm
Down in the dirt Doug, That’s a mighty big if.
November 1st, 2019 at 1:36 pm
Surprise surprise!
November 1st, 2019 at 1:37 pm
Tampabaybucfan, but only on first down. Down want to wear him out, you know.
November 1st, 2019 at 1:40 pm
Not even a big deal. He’s been a stiff this year. Maybe a few weeks off his feet can turn into a good thing. But this is every year he gets injured for multiple games. The bigger they are the harder they fall I guess.
Saw Tanner Hudson out there. Let a TD go right through his hands. Wondered if thats the last pass hell ever get……I’d say give him another look in the Endzone cause Tanner don’t look like a guy that’ll drop two straight……But if they do that then they’ll be predictable.
November 1st, 2019 at 1:41 pm
Hey, Im ok with Delpit!! Eason may fall to the bottom of the first/top of the 2nd. I’d also be good with that Ohio St. CB Okudah!
If we franchise jw…..but if we dont, we’re going QB shopping…draft or FA!
November 1st, 2019 at 1:45 pm
Dude I didn’t even notice he was active in other games anyway. Guys is a ghost and when he does have a chance he drops everything.
November 1st, 2019 at 1:53 pm
Joe you really need to get a grasp on word usage…. how can a mentally weak fragile player who has accomplished nothing earn the label beast….. that’s all most as embarrassing as you labeling one year wonder has beens with 5 career playoff wins legends….
November 1st, 2019 at 1:55 pm
Joe uses legend and beast on a sliding scale similar to the way public health facilities charge fees…
November 1st, 2019 at 1:55 pm
And lets not leave out stud
November 1st, 2019 at 1:56 pm
Burrow!!!!!!!!!!!
November 1st, 2019 at 2:00 pm
OJ and Brate don’t get any passes through their way anyways. At least Auclair can block. What a waste of two good players.
November 1st, 2019 at 2:00 pm
Well miss his 30 ypg. Hopefully Hudson can catch the ball, just pretend it’s preseason Tanner.
November 1st, 2019 at 2:05 pm
I chuckle at the tears shed for Dalvin Cook. Behind this OL, I’m not sure he’s the same player.
November 1st, 2019 at 2:05 pm
Maybe post a sign that says “the best ability is availability” on the stud tight end’s locker.
November 1st, 2019 at 2:07 pm
Tmax = Jason Licht
November 1st, 2019 at 2:11 pm
OJ Howard is soft. He should have been traded for a 2nd rounder but since NE spent their #2 on Sunu they were probably offering a 3rd (too low). We have so many 1-2 round busts…this team is going nowhere the next 3 years. Evans and Vea (to some degree) is the only players that have improved each year since being drafted out of ~45 draftees. That is on coaching 100%. Way too many holes to fix at this point. When your GM is drafting TE and CB in the first round everyone else is fixing their trenches or gambling on a new QB…its inevitable that your team will suck.
Josh Allen (who they should have picked instead of the bad D. White) has 7 sacks and 2 forced fumbles. I will predict D White will never make a Pro Bowl. He doesnt have the “it” factor at all….Im not sure what they saw on tape that made him attractive at 5. Reach!! The kid PIT drafted Bush is outplaying him weekly. This franchise is a dumpster fire and Licht just grabbed the can of gasoline instead of the water.
November 1st, 2019 at 2:14 pm
OH NO!
With him we went 2-5, now what will happen?
The horror.
He made us so much better.
November 1st, 2019 at 2:17 pm
“Im depressed….2-5 looking at a very possible 2-8” (should be a headline Joe’s lol)
But things are looking up in the draft/rebuild dept. 🙂
November 1st, 2019 at 2:19 pm
For some reason I’m expecting a dead cat bounce. The Bucs have no reason or expectation to win this game so of course they will somehow. Good Winston will show up on Sunday calling it now.
November 1st, 2019 at 2:19 pm
not sure if i care at this point….
GO BUCS!!!!
November 1st, 2019 at 2:34 pm
OJ is untouchable- even the Bucs can’t use him
November 1st, 2019 at 2:43 pm
Doesn’t matter. No matter what production he gets… It will be negated by the secondary
November 1st, 2019 at 2:45 pm
How does Jason Licht still have a job?
November 1st, 2019 at 2:47 pm
Doesn’t matter who we draft. We don’t have the coaches that can develop and get the most out of talent. Any player can go just about anywhere else, and be better.
November 1st, 2019 at 2:49 pm
what about tanner hudson
November 1st, 2019 at 2:50 pm
O.J., and Justin Evans, always in the tub, never helping the club. How did O.J. hurt himself this time? The guy can’t stay healthy. I saw Kittle last night get his knee bent backwards, limp off, then come back catch a pass, and knock guys out on his way to the endzone. Bucs players are all pansies. O.J. has been damaged goods since he became a Buc. A smart GM would’ve traded him. Like Justin Evans, O.J. will make a nice living on IR until the Glazers come to their senses, and find a GM who knows what he’s doing.
November 1st, 2019 at 2:55 pm
you are who your record says you ARE!!!
time to clean house 5 years of jw was enough …… time for LICKED to go as well …. leftwich doesnt have a clue……
November 1st, 2019 at 3:02 pm
Um, OK! I guess we’ll need someone else to fill in for his dropped passes and fumbles then.
I don’t get this exaggerated valuation from fans. He’s done nothing, zero, ZIP. That he doesn’t get the ball doesn’t seem to matter anyway because he can’t catch! Please show me this “beast” people keep talking about. We keep talking about OJ like he’s Gronk. Just STOP, please!
November 1st, 2019 at 3:38 pm
OJ sure doesn’t have any problems going out clubbing on Friday before Sunday’s game. Him and Hargreaves both need to pack there bags and get away from this team. They are both cancers.
November 1st, 2019 at 3:39 pm
OJ is untouchable and unplayable should have unloaded him to new england by 2020 draft he will have a bad reputation and no one will trade for him.
November 1st, 2019 at 4:41 pm
Have any of our tightends NOT been used primarily as blocking tightends?
Over/under on how many times Leftwich draws up critical plays to Miller or Perriman this week?
I’m putting it at 7.5
November 1st, 2019 at 5:12 pm
OJ Howard has a hamstring injury. For a a tight end receiver/receiver in this league it’s a bitch. So now, BA can utilize all the TE backups Bucs have to play the game and win it. Tanner Hudson, he can catch. Brate and Aucoin, under-used players. Combined with ME13 and Ungodly as the pure receivers, where’s the problem?? It compensates the Oline weaknesses if the offense is called right. Winston can run. Call 2-minute hurry-up plays, and bootleg options. This goes down and we win. Defense and ST will make sure of it!!
November 1st, 2019 at 5:30 pm
Joe how about a post about that fragile bum kwon lol
November 1st, 2019 at 5:39 pm
Not a Bucs player any longer.
November 1st, 2019 at 5:39 pm
When we win nobody says FAMOUS lead us to a victory …I’m saying it now FAMOUS leads The BUCS to a win in SEATTLE..GO TEAM BUCS!!

LOL Dalvin played in 4 games his first season and 11 in his second season. So far this yr he has played in all 8. SO FAR.
A trade up for Christian McCaffery was the pick.
November 1st, 2019 at 7:10 pm
He is no longer famous
That title is lost
It is now Freeman 2.0 until further notice
November 1st, 2019 at 7:43 pm
Bust but if he got traded to Bellicheat he would miraculously suit up and by week 10 be the new Gronk.
November 1st, 2019 at 9:06 pm
He’s out even when he’s in…out of site! When the words big n soft come up I think of O.J. n DSmith.
November 1st, 2019 at 10:15 pm
PRBucFan: Call him what you want and I’ll do me …I know we good with that! GO TEAM BUCS !! FAMOUS takes us to win on Sunday!!
November 1st, 2019 at 10:33 pm
You guys keep dreaming you all know the QB of this team next year is Jameis Winston.
November 1st, 2019 at 11:26 pm
Jameis isnt going anywhere most of you look at stats and not watching the film jameis will be extended. Need to build the trenches up!
