Keionte Scott’s Energy
April 25th, 2026
Heart and passion.
The Bucs this year wanted to bring in physical, violent dudes. And it seems they have achieved that goal.
But also, the Bucs wanted to bring in guys with fire and energy. In this clip from “305 Sports” of new Bucs nickel corner Keionte Scott, selected in the fourth round today, this is the personality of a player the Bucs crave for a defense that last year was kitten-soft and quit on Bucs coach Todd Bowles.
This Scott is nothing but energy, an Energizer Bunny bouncing all over the place, firing up his teammates and when getting right into the grill of players Scott may think aren’t giving 110 percent.
Joe knows Baker Mayfield and Lavonte David and even Bowles tried, almost in a last resort, to yell at teammates to snap out of it last season. To no avail.
If this happened with Scott on the team, he might just throw down on a corner who loafed. Joe has a hunch Scott will quickly become a Bucs fan favorite.
Joe thinks it is fair to say Scott can be described in one word: “Passion.”
That sort of energy and enthusiasm and physical play is contagious. It is what the Bucs really need.

thats what the defense needs, someone to come in and take someones job by working hard and hitting harder. time will tell

We’ll see. Rah-rah guys often get tuned out. This is the nfl, the player can’t motivate himself, he won’t be there for long.

It does seem like the Bucs attempted to get “tougher this off-season. Let’s hope the putrid pass defense improves.

Josiah Trotter is a loud, vocal dude also
The playcaller, leader of the defense

Dude has ludicrous closing speed and (to me) seems to diagnose plays quickly.
Really like Scott and Bain!

Yup just go to the “U” plenty of violence available there… GO BUCS!

I have want Todd fired but in his defense, he has not had the horses defensively. Safe to say JL went and got him some dogs. Excited to see Todd make me eat crow hopefully or get canned.

Sorry guys the truth hurts, more time than not, the team takes on the personality of the HC, Bowles is soft and looks checked out, this team gets Tomlin, stud QB (not Baker) next year, and DC Schwartz, we will get our next SB within 3 years

I thought the defense abd special teams even more quit after the break too. Hassan never even started. Injuries hit and whatever fire was left went to ______ ( mad lib fans can have some fun here).
Message sent.

The kids highlights 😳
Definitely seems to bring passion, physicality, smarts and SPEED to our defensive backfield.
I’m still a little concerned about our outside corners. Morrison could make a big jump….. Zion could still do the same BUT we’ll have to wait and see.
We now have 2 very good nickels but I’m not sure either one is a great candidate to kick outside. Will have to trust the people who really matter = JL and the coaches – to know more than us “fans” know.
Fortunately our front 7 has seen an influx of talent so maybe the DBs won’t be left hanging cause we’re getting no pressure on the QB.

Dawgs were needed on defense only dawg on defense last season was Tykee

Defensive tackles playing against us last season quickly noticed that there really wasn’t much difference between having nobody lined up across from them or Dan Feeney and Michael Jordan (not that one). That caused our offense to crater and our defense exhaustion and malaise. We seem to have addressed the situation NICELY! Now let’s see how the team looks *this* year. I think we can safely expect a lot of progress.
April 25th, 2026 at 7:12 pm
Yea because all three of those things are going to happen. Bucs get Tomlin, there is a Stud QB next year and somehow Tomlin wants Schwartz.
I can do it too.
April 25th, 2026 at 7:15 pm
Maybe this kid will push Zyon to pay attention and live up to his contract…

LOL@Geno. Nice.
And agreed 100% how ludicrous it is. Tomlin is not a better coach than Bowles nor is he the least bit exciting. Now if McVay wanted to come here I’d accept the change no problem, but can’t think of anyone else I’d even want over Bowles. And we are certainly not getting rid of Baker or Licht anytime soon.
