CBS: Tristan Wirfs Not A Top-Five Tackle
May 27th, 2025
Dissed.
Say you don’t know what you are typing about, without saying you don’t know what you are typing about.
There is this Bleacher Report reject who works for CBS by the name of Cody Benjamin. The guy types some of the most mindless crap you will ever see on the NFL.
Makes Joe wonder if the guy is related to lockjaw Scott Pelley or something. Maybe he’s Norah O’Donnell’s dependent?
But this one from Benjamin took the cake. In the past, Benjamin has been a Bucs non-believer, the type to write the obituary of the Bucs each year. Joe won’t type “hater” because that’s very strong.
You know the type: Derek Carr is the new savior of New Orleans. … Kirk Cousins will lead the Dixie Chicks to the Super Bowl. Jiminy Christmas!
Even when Benjamin couldn’t get away or around typing something good about Tampa Bay, it was always qualified, at best half-hearted, as if the guy was being forced by an editor to be kind.
As a result, Joe tries not to link to his sewage from an otherwise fine news organization loaded with folks Joe admires.
Well, the following just frosts Joe. Benjamin picked the top-five tackles in the game, the best offensive lineman. (OK, hey, it’s summertime. It’s list season until training camps open up.)
So who does Benjamin have in his top-five tackles? Well, not Bucs left tackle Tristan Wirfs, who is coming off a(nother) All-Pro season.
That’s asinine enough. But then you read Benjamin has Penei Sewell in his list. OK, Sewell is a two-time All-Pro at right tackle.
Guess what? Sewell wasn’t named All-Pro at right tackle for years because — hang on — Wirfs was the All-Pro right tackle! Only until Wirfs got flipped to left tackle did Sewell become an All-Pro.
Wirfs was named All-Pro last year. Again. There are only two All-Pros for tackles. So this was good enough for Benjamin to pick Sewell as a top-five tackle, but not Wirfs?
Gee, couldn’t be because Wirfs plays for that damned Florida Man team, would it Cody?
When Wirfs was named All-Pro last year, he became the first offensive lineman in NFL history to be named All-Pro at both left and right tackle. Not good enough for Benjamin. Nah, Wirfs is just an “honorable mention.”
When Wirfs isn’t good enough to be in some clown’s top-five, then that clown needs another line of work.
This dude should be doing lists for the women’s non-basketball association. That’s about his speed.

Benjamin is at the top of my do not read list. Total drivel.

ING… Ignorant National Guy. Man is a 🤡
May 27th, 2025 at 4:46 am
Yup, woke up this morning Joe thinking ‘Gee I hope Cody Benjamin recognizes Tristan Wirfs as an All-Pro tackle’.
But then I remembered that I don’t even know who Cody Benjamin is, nor do I care. Apparently just another purported national pundit trying to set himself apart from the maddening herd by writing something outrageous. Good luck with that Cody.

D.R.
AMEN!
May 27th, 2025 at 5:00 am
that’s right…he’s not a top 5 tackle…
he’s like a top 2…!!

Tristan Wirfs is on the fast track to the HOF.
First lineman to be all Pro at RT and LT in the storied history of the NFL.
Thankful he is a Buc.
Cody, maybe try another line of work, you look silly.
GO BUCS!!!

D rules, my thoughts exactly.

Never heard of the moron.
May 27th, 2025 at 6:42 am
Seems like he writes like Jenna Laine. The only team beat reporter that more often than not comes off sounding negative about the team they’re covering.

Cody is one of those east coast limp wrist twinks that never even buckled a chin trap for pee wee football and is a eagles d rider

I C👀 BS
May 27th, 2025 at 6:59 am
Love it. Cut it out & tape it up for all to see in the locker room
May 27th, 2025 at 7:27 am
There’s a WNBA still? I did not know that.
May 27th, 2025 at 7:31 am
Big surprise.
Dude who works for fake news CBS is an idiot…
May 27th, 2025 at 8:37 am
You can’t save the dumb from the stupid.
May 27th, 2025 at 9:20 am
lol. Not only is Wirfs a Top 3 left tackle is a Top 3 right tackle. What he’s done has been nothing short of incredible and we are blessed to have him. The NFL is blessed to have someone who is that athletic, intelligent, and dedicated to his craft.
May 27th, 2025 at 9:50 am
We all could write better stuff. Great bulletin board material for Tristan!
May 27th, 2025 at 9:57 am
Of course he’s not top 5. He’s top 1.
May 27th, 2025 at 10:04 am
did he say why?
May 27th, 2025 at 10:55 am
CBS has no clue I wouldn’t even put this out there Joe
May 27th, 2025 at 11:32 am
One can even find casuals amongst the chattering and pen class.
May 27th, 2025 at 12:43 pm
Even a casual would know who Tristan Wirfs is. Cody Benjamin is a card carrying maroon.
May 27th, 2025 at 2:34 pm
I beat this idiot thinks Wirfs is still a right tackle. What an idiot.

Jack Burton Mercer Says:
Of course he’s not top 5. He’s top 1.
EXACTLY!
May 27th, 2025 at 9:30 pm
Thanks for never linking this guys drivel. I wouldn’t even mention his name on this site again. He posts absolute garbage, he might be the most anti-Bucs media member out there and that is saying something !
May 28th, 2025 at 4:10 am
Good good. We need a fired up Wirfs next season!
May 28th, 2025 at 7:24 pm
lmao you definitely can tell which Joe wrote this article…
May 28th, 2025 at 7:27 pm
That said, not sure how Lane Johnson or Trent Williams gets ranked ahead of Wirfs, given where they are at in their careers…
