Carlton Davis On Injured Reserve
October 7th, 2021
Out for awhile.
The hits keep coming for the beat up Bucs cornerback corps.
The Bucs announced today the team has placed starting corner Carlton Davis on the injured reserve list. What does that mean?
This means Davis will miss at least the next three games. Davis suffered a quad injury Sunday night in the win over the Patriots.
So now the Bucs starting corners are a 33-year old guy who has a total of one week of practice all season (Richard Sherman) and a bottle of cologne (Pierre Desir).

Don’t forthey also have Rashard Robinson.
October 7th, 2021 at 3:56 pm
Bottle of cologne! Lmao
October 7th, 2021 at 3:57 pm
Stop worrying, Joe. These guys are professionals.
October 7th, 2021 at 3:58 pm
did these guys do any strength training ?? every week we losing one or more. Gronk injury was different…it was more “Sean Payton take off game” type, but the rest … i don’t know, are we too soft???
October 7th, 2021 at 3:59 pm
The “Gravediggers” are going to bury the Bucs super bowl dreams. Licht needs to make a move before trade deadline.

Is Dean playing this Sunday? Any word on Winfield?
October 7th, 2021 at 4:13 pm
Let’s hope the bottle of cologne smells decent.
October 7th, 2021 at 4:13 pm
Maybe the Bucs need to clear the roster to bring in another vet. Quinton Dunbar?
October 7th, 2021 at 4:13 pm
Winfield is unlikely to play. Dunno about Jamel Dean. Arians will speak tomorrow and should get a better idea about Dean.
People (including Joe) sweating over Jamel Dean may not play. Strange times we live in
October 7th, 2021 at 4:13 pm
Looks like Dean will play but Winfield wont.
October 7th, 2021 at 4:18 pm
we be good as long as JD suits up and the Sherminator held his own in NE
October 7th, 2021 at 4:24 pm
Pelbuc. I was thinking about that yesterday. Instead of “gravediggers” it seems they should be named the “walking wounded”.
October 7th, 2021 at 4:26 pm
everyone will be back after the bye…
some a but sooner…
should be okay
October 7th, 2021 at 4:29 pm
Well we’re about 4 games and 3 1/2 weeks from the trade deadline. I expect a trade or two for CBs.
October 7th, 2021 at 4:31 pm
I don’t wish anyone to get hurt, but its better we have these injuries now then in the playoffs.
October 7th, 2021 at 4:31 pm
Also gets the backups some valuable reps in case someone goes down late in the season.
October 7th, 2021 at 4:36 pm
At least the bottle of cologne did not noticeably stink.
October 7th, 2021 at 4:37 pm
Massive miss on not trading for gilmore
October 7th, 2021 at 4:37 pm
These aren’t season-ending injuries…..
Our offense is far better off than our defense…..as long as we have our Oline….Brady, RBs, WRs & TEs….we should be able to score greatly….
October 7th, 2021 at 4:40 pm
We are the 49ers of last year. Decimated. We may make the playoffs by the grace of TB12 if we’re lucky.
October 7th, 2021 at 4:50 pm
A bottle of cologne!!! I literally spit out my drink as I read that! That’s is classic. Destiny, quality, moonlight the smell of pierre Deser

Hopefully he sticks to his man like department store cologne.
October 7th, 2021 at 4:58 pm
Can’t “miss@ on something you can’t afford.
October 7th, 2021 at 5:02 pm
Desir was probably one practice away from having a pick six on Sunday. He also has decent ball skills with eight interceptions and over 40 pass deflections. Hopefully with another week of practice he’ll be serviceable and hopefully more than.
October 7th, 2021 at 5:03 pm
We’re going to need more old guys.
October 7th, 2021 at 5:06 pm
Oh boy, I know the dolphins are terrible, but our corner situation will probably make this a tight game regardless.
October 7th, 2021 at 5:09 pm
Rashard Robinson can play if he can stay out of trouble. He’s probably been suspended more than AB in the past including the first 2 games this season.
October 7th, 2021 at 5:10 pm
Funny how everyone talked so much crap about Dean. You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone!
October 7th, 2021 at 5:11 pm
Cmon man. Bottle of cologne? You’re talking about a human being.
October 7th, 2021 at 5:14 pm
Bottle of cologne is better than a bag of sheit
October 7th, 2021 at 5:15 pm
As long as we are healthy in January, I like our chances. The offense can carry this squad in the meantime. And Bowles need not be afraid to go after opposing quarterbacks. I’d rather see an aggressive defense go down swinging than watch them get gassed giving up 10+ play drives that end in TDS anyways. I’d dare teams into a shootout knowing our defense will eventually make the big play if Bowles allows them to be aggressive enough. The schedule:
Miami
@ Philadelphia (N)
Chicago
@ New Orleans
Bye
@ Washington
NY Giants (N)
@ Indianapolis
@ Atlanta
Buffalo
New Orleans (N)
@ Carolina
@ NY Jets
Carolina

These (or any) guys should be able to execute Bowles’ version of Mike Smith’s eight-yards-off-the-ball, never-challenge-a-pass, chase-&-tackle defensive scheme just fine!
October 7th, 2021 at 5:25 pm
Other than Bernard and Gronk, the Bucs are healthy on offense. So there is no excuse to not put up some points on Miami. Miami’s offense is bad. Our injuries on defense will make them look decent but we should easily outscore them unless the offense decides to give the game away. The past 3 weeks, the Bills put up 35 on them, the Raiders scored 31, and the Colts 27. No excuse for us not to drop 30 on them.
October 7th, 2021 at 5:29 pm
Davis & bunting will come back week 13.
Rest dean , gronk, jpp. one more week.
Spray that cologne all over the secondary!
October 7th, 2021 at 5:34 pm
I agree… They need to start bumping off the line… Just a little bit can make the difference on a pass rush or not
October 7th, 2021 at 5:46 pm
The cure is a persistently ferocious pass rush. Send 45 all day.
October 7th, 2021 at 5:56 pm
Jarrod Wilson was just cut by the Jets. He isn’t great but he has played in 78 games in the past 6 seasons. Has 193 tackles, 3 Ints, 9 pass break ups and two forced fumbles…
Not a bad resume… But he was just cut from both the Jags and Jets recently.
October 7th, 2021 at 5:59 pm
Plus he has played special teams everywhere he has been…

When healthy, our Secondary starters typically play very close to 100% of the defensive snaps. When you look at the Patriots game however, it was anything but typical for our Secondary guys.
o Davis: 32 snaps (54%) then outtathere (injured) … targeted 1 time; 0 completions with 1 solo tackle (0 assists).
o Sherman: 58 snaps (98%) … targeted 9 times; 9 completions with 7 solo tackles (0 assists).
o Cockrell: 35 snaps (59%) … targeted 2 times; 0 completions with 2 solo tackle (1 assist).
o Desir: 26 snaps (44%) … targeted 3 times; 3 completions with 2 solo tackles (0 assists).
o Neither Delaney nor Robinson logged any defensive snaps (S/Ts only)
Looks like the Patriots were intentionally staying away from Davis (until he got injured) and were picking on Sherman (who had all of 1 practice?) and Desir when he came in to replace Davis (up from the PS?). Not hard to tell what their marching orders were: keep everything in front of you; don’t get beat deep.
In reality Bowles didn’t have any choice IMO, and the same will apply against Miami for the most part. Once the field compresses though, both of them can be more aggressive. Personally doubt however that we’ll see much bumping off the line with either Sherman or Desir (at least for these first few games).

Even with all the injured- the only team left on the schedule with real teeth is the Bills
This might be a 15-2 season regardless
October 7th, 2021 at 7:13 pm
Every team will likely go through some degree of injuries…..ours are early in the season and not season ending. We’re at a bit of a soft spot in the schedule…..if offense plays to potential, should be able to carry us through until some of these guys bounce back. Chiefs lost 2 offensive linemen in the last few weeks of a SB season…..that’s life in the NFL. You need a little luck on your side.
October 7th, 2021 at 7:58 pm
If Pierre Desir is a cologne than Durable Donnie is a half-used stick of Axe deodorant.
October 7th, 2021 at 8:11 pm
Hate that we missed on Gillmore, wouldn’t help us immediately anyway, but still. The schedule being soft helps too. I would really like to see us go aggressively after X. Rhodes or X.Woods ( x factors pun intended) or any CB that will help NOW , I.e., the sherminator ( I love that name).
October 7th, 2021 at 8:16 pm
Top 3 Buc corners
24 35 23
When their all up
Sherman only helps
43 and great safety work back there!
Don’t be discounting the home team yall
Go Bucs
October 7th, 2021 at 9:46 pm
Well on to this weeks version of “Shootout by the Bay”
They just are not physically able to competitive defensively right now.
GO BUCS!!!!!

Losing the guy who leads all DB’s in passes defenses in the entire NFL since 2019 (and by a pretty wide margin) hurts no matter how you slice it. CDIII doesn’t get enough credit for his play. Time we start putting some respect on this guy’s name.
October 8th, 2021 at 10:47 am
JGhotier
Agreed CD getting better every year
Not a stat geek here but I’m curious about
Pass break ups since 2019 as a % snaps played
Pretty sure the numbers will say that Dean holding his own
October 8th, 2021 at 10:50 am
Got to squeeze that ball when it hits you in the hands though
