Robert Hainsey: Notre Dame OT, Florida Schooled
April 30th, 2021
On the surface, there is nothing not to like about new Bucs tackle Robert Hainsey.
In recent years, Notre Dame has pumped out some damn good NFL offensive linemen. Even though Notre Dame is sort of an ACC school (when it wants to be for their benefit only), the program is built like a traditional B1G program: Big, nasty offensive linemen.
Hey, the school is located in northwest Indiana. What would you expect?
In a video about Hainsey on YouTube that was produced by Notre Dame when he signed out of IMG Academy in Bradenton, Hainsey was described as “athletic” and “intense.”
And given that he played high school ball in Bradenton, despite being at a rust belt college, Hainsey is used to the west-central Florida sun. Joe likes that.

Licht went back to looking like a sweaty, drunken doofus with the Trask pick but he just redeemed himself

I really like this pick. Really good. JL studs out again. I’ll be happy to eat crow about Kyle Trshk.
April 30th, 2021 at 11:29 pm
The scouting reports I see are basically saying he’s not really athletic enough to play at the NFL level. I remember reading the same thing about Cappa. He seems like he was overdrafted quite a bit, but again, so was Cappa.
Anywho, Licht has more than earned my trust when it comes to offensive line.

If he eats his boogers during interviews, Licht will move him up an entire round on the draft board.

MedPete – you’re posts are awesome. Thanks for ruining my Brady jersey with leftover pizza.

Wanted meinerz but he can play all spots so whatever
Just think he could have traded back And still got this kid if wanted him
April 30th, 2021 at 11:31 pm
Best pick of the draft so far. This dude was really good at the senior bowl and can play multiple positions on the line. Only pick so far that wasn’t a massive reach.
April 30th, 2021 at 11:32 pm
The hag announcing the picks needs to go.
April 30th, 2021 at 11:33 pm
Darius Stills was still there…but we need O line so ok….but dude?
April 30th, 2021 at 11:35 pm
Bucs strengthening their foundations, solid move. Started with the Pass Rush, and now the O Line . Just plain common sense if you like winning in the NFL. Throw in a wild card Trask pick in the “NFL QB crap shoot” that drafting a QB is. Solid Draft so far. GO BUCS!!!!!

@ Swampbuc
I just like to rib Gator fans but the VH3 pick was a fireable offense by Licht
April 30th, 2021 at 11:38 pm
Guy is big and versitile.
Im sure our coaches will get him up to snuff.
I think this will turn out to be a good pick.
Unlike our wasted 2nd round pick

Some people are really whining about the Trask pick? You’d rather roll with Griffin if god forbid? That’d be ill advised and not so wise. You guys gota watch more football
April 30th, 2021 at 11:40 pm
Yes it is M Pete lol and Aguayo, but glad J Licht is still here. He assembled the team – Coaches and players that Brady came to and he did not fumble signing Brady. GO BUCS!!!!

so we have:
joe tryon your jersey…
kyle trash…
this guy…
and goodell is stuck on the sh!ter with diarrhea

hes a solid player can play any position on the line in a snap although lg c rg rt are his best positions. He played really really well at the senior bowl against top talent. he also came into the senior bowl over 300lbs which he never was in college. he looked great at 300lbs this is a great depth pick and possibly a future starter

@ MedP –
I love it! I agree with you about Hardgraves. And, I’m a Gator.
April 30th, 2021 at 11:51 pm
I’ll be honest, this last one caught me off guard, but I was wanting Meinerz anyway, and if Licht and his boys like this guy better? So be it. After the last few years, I trust them. Like with this pick it just reminds me, I don’t do this for a living. They do. I’m sure he’ll be solid, and in the 3rd round that’s good value. Period.
April 30th, 2021 at 11:54 pm
Yeah I got off work and my head dropped when I saw Trask, but this was very nice. This oline coaching is so good. I wanted a center (?) early and this guy could be beastly on the future oline. Trenches. Nice.

Right. Hate the second round but I can’t hate it because Licht and the GOAT think he has potential. First or second string QB.

A lot of the “heads” love the Trask pick saying he’s better than Jones of Bamallama who went to the Puds.
Obviously JL, BA and BL love Traskh. I watched every one of his starts, understand the big stats draw, also saw a ton of “yikes” that must be correctable with great coaching and mentoring.
Go Bucs! Yeah.

Watching this video makes me think back up nose tackles are going to mop the floor with this guy

Somebody should tell Roger Goddell strangers don’t hug, they shake hands.

backup lineman OK but hated the trash pick.
May 1st, 2021 at 12:25 am
Everything I am reading on him. Is he will likely be a center in the nfl. And has the ability to be a good one. So we drafted jensens replacement in the 3rd round for 10 million less a year for the next 3 years. He was a 2 year captain at Notre dame. Which like joe says pumps out offensive lineman. So we might ha e just replaced our center next year without misssing a beat. If not we damn sure tried to do say. And that’s how you build a team. We could have just replaced jpp Brady and Jensen with our first three picks if things work out. Not saying these guys will ever be as good but can be good enough to keep it going. Can’t be mad for are gm drafting players to sit and learn a year. To try and replace the people they are learning from. For once I see the direction of our draft. We are building for the future. Each pick was made to best case scenario replace the expiring contract of people ahead of them while giving them a year to learn and not be forced into starting. But you can ha e them step in and help the team if need be. I love it

Lol this post isn’t about trask come on leave it on those other comment sections please it’s toxic over there and I like this pick alot
May 1st, 2021 at 12:35 am
Hainsey looked great at the senior bowl. Look up his senior bowl highlights on youtube. If he can play inside hes a great pick. Still a little bummed we didnt take Meinerz but Hainsey is a good pick and im glad we went OL. Prob see a couple DBs get picked tomorrow.

We had a shot a C Barmore..let’s see how it all shakes out!!

Hainsey – Very versatile pick. An intense, team captain, fundamentally sound, who because of his limited reach will probably be used inside the tackles where I suspect he’ll hold up very well based on senior bowl performance. Good pick for end of round #3.

Two sacks allowed and no penalties? Amazing.

Medicated Pete: look at your name. Our GM made great pick with Trask. Our GM had the luxury to make a pick like that. Stay Medicated Pete don’t type anything else.

When some of you guys start running an NFL team, maybe I’ll listen to you. Until then, all I’m hearing is a bunch of whining like you actually know better than Jason Licht. But you don’t, do you? So try being optimistic for once in your lives and continue to enjoy what has been a dream scenario for Bucs fans.

Rod, it said he’s not athletic enough to play tackle in the NFL. He’ll be a fine NFL G,C, but could play RT in a pinch. Funny how people read what they want to believe rather then what they read.
