Playmaker-In-Chief
January 16th, 2022
Heroic day
Every playoff team needs hot players to carry it to the Super Bowl.
The Bucs had a few last year. Playoff Lenny comes to mind.
Who will it be this year?
Perhaps safety/nickel Mike Edwards is the guy. Edwards stepped in for injured cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting today and led the Bucs with nine solo tackles, a key interception in the end zone and a tackle for loss.
In part-time duty this season, Edwards led the Bucs with three interceptions, and today made it four. Edwards isn’t a Pro Bowler, but he consistently performs when called upon.
Joe is fired up. It’s unclear what’s next for Murphy-Bunting’s hamstring, but it sure seems like the Bucs are in great hands.

Edwards was all over the field. Monster game.

Edward and deAn were amazing today
Go
Bucs!

And he has proven that failing to get a vax does not cause you to sprint shirtless across the end zone during the game.

Awesome play by Edwards today. Keep it moving
January 16th, 2022 at 4:32 pm
Modhair – great point! Diid not realize that Sean didn’t play.

SMB was the hot defensive player in last years playoffs with 3 picks in 3 games.
January 16th, 2022 at 4:36 pm
He’s def a keeper!
January 16th, 2022 at 4:38 pm
he saved the Colts game for us too! we had great safety play today! in fact the entire defense played outstanding! Scotty Miller tackled the punt catcher in such a way he could not get to the ball–so many plays were awesome–we were dialed in!

When will the Bus dump that chickenshat Darden
January 16th, 2022 at 4:44 pm
Absolute Ball Hawk!

I agree with Formally Tampa 2.
I understand that he is a rook but he hasn’t showed me any of the ‘instincts’ that he was drafted for.
Barner should have been returning punts IMO if he isn’t injured.

Safeties balled out today
January 16th, 2022 at 5:04 pm
Winfield played the nickel and Edwards played free safety. I think we may see more of this even when SMB returns.
January 16th, 2022 at 5:28 pm
The roster is coming alive!
January 16th, 2022 at 5:30 pm
That INT was huge!
Dean Whitehead and Winfield also played their arses off.
January 16th, 2022 at 5:34 pm
He was labeled as a ballhawk coming out of Kentucky and he sure hasn’t disappointed.

Anybody asking for the bucs to get rid of rookies ie darden is a football dunce. Do any of you so called buc fans remember barber as a rookie? Hell this article is about edwards. Some of you same football dunces was trying to get rid of edwards or cappa after their rookie year. Can you please allow these young players to develop before you cut them? Stop the stupid please

Let Edwards play. Always nervous when Burnt Toast is our there because even when he looks like he has good coverage he still gets burnt

Speaks volumes doesn’t it?

That dude has a little Ed Reed in him imo.
January 16th, 2022 at 7:27 pm
He’s better than Tanard Jackson!
January 16th, 2022 at 9:51 pm
Our 3 safeties are top notch, definitely need to keep them. They make our defense unique. I mean who has 3 starting caliber safeties on the field at the same time? Us, that’s who
January 16th, 2022 at 9:55 pm
The Bucs are undefeated whenever Mike Edwards gets an interception.
January 16th, 2022 at 10:11 pm
Looks like smb lost his spot
January 16th, 2022 at 11:02 pm
I think i saw four safeties on the field at times. I said before the season that Edwards would be a starter this season but we’ve got three terrific safeties. Whitehead is in his last year of his contract. I’d love to have all three back.
January 17th, 2022 at 8:52 am
He should be starting over SMB!
January 18th, 2022 at 6:51 am
Dude is a beast keep him in the field!! ALSO ON TO LA LOOK HOW 49ERS BEAT THEM EVEY TIME, THEY OWN LA THATS HOW TO BEAT LA, THIWR CB ARE GOING TO HIT HARD WE HAVE TO HIT HARDER!! ITS IN OUR HOUSE LFGO
