I’m not ready to give up on Graham Barton as a center. I saw him being used incorrectly, he is not a phone booth, mauling run blocker. He’s an athlete that excels at chipping then getting to the second level getting to linebackers and safeties. I don’t want to dump on Grizzard but it was a near impossible jump to play calling OC. We all we talking about how much more creative Cohen was than Canales in the run game, Grizzard as 3rd down whatever probably never schemed runs.

Absolutely zero reason to listen to this pointless podcast.
Lots of hope and what ifs about the offense. Nothing about the defense.
You can’t really blame them since we have no defense at all.
Good thing we do have our defensive guru in place.
He’ll fix what the DC broke……wait……
3rd and 28

Well, that’s certainly as blatant of a lie as you can get.

Great podcast!
May I ask if you all could please link your 95.3 FM chats to JBF articles. I am having she’d time locating them on WDAE’s iHeart site or YouTube. Thanks, really hoping you all get to do another podcast announcing McDaniel’s hiring. He’s the best OC out there and would be a godsend to the Bucs.
