The One-Minute Drill
August 14th, 2026
Happy with first at-bat.
On Wednesday, the Bucs didn’t have a two-minute drill to end practice; they had a one-minute drill against the J-E-T-S, Jets… Jets… Jets.
Well, 1:06 to be exact. The ball was placed at the Bucs-20. Ted Hurst blew up, catching two passes including a 25-yard grab, and pulled a Mike Evans, drawing a defensive pass interference call.
Chris Godwin also had a key catch in the drive, capped off by Cade Otton’s touchdown.
To hear Barton, the Bucs center said that was the first time the Bucs ran any variation of a two-minute drill this summer against anyone not wearing Bucs colors.
And the result was perfect.
“That was awesome,” Barton said. “We kind of marched down the field; receivers made some good plays.
“From what I could tell at least, [we] protected well up front. That’s what you want for your first live look at a two-minute drill.”
That was also without Tristan Wirfs, who is still nursing a bum hamstring he injured in a conditioning run right before training camp opened. Wirfs has yet to practice this summer, though Tuesday he ran on a side field.
The way the Bucs efficiently and quickly ran through the Jets defense, with a green rookie leading the receivers, was damn impressive. For a training camp practice. Against the Jets.

I hope that Ted is learning how to draw some PI’s, love those on the deep balls.
Joe Burrow played last night and played well despite some sacks. Our DL will have to put Burrow down to beat him. I want to see the defense get two-minute drill sacks in real games. The pass rush at the end of games has been poor. Let’s see what happens this season.

I must have missed Wednesday’s practice notes.

I liked Barton coming out. Dude has all the potential to be a really good OL.

Joe, what happened to the daily camp notes?

Nice!
Super Bowl here we comes!

Meaningless game unless you are vying for a 4th string roster spot. Praying we get no CB’s injured tonight.

I wonder if Todd Bowles needed his “special assistant coach” during this one minute drill?
Remember this – “The Tampa Bay Buccaneers hired Zach Beistline as their director of football research to assist head coach Todd Bowles with game day clock management, situational awareness, and timeout decisions”
LOL!

Marine, Todd, You guys must be a blast at parties. I sure everyone wants to hang out with you to listen to your constant gloom and doom.
No one is asking you to be pom pom waving, but does every post have to be a negative one? Sorry you have no life.

It’s better than looking like crap. In a training camp practice. Against the Jets.

@ senor harry
“your constant gloom and doom.”
I have stated several times that the Bucs will be 7-10 this season.
I was being “nice” my amigo.
How is that considered “doom and gloom”?
You want “doom and gloom”?
Take a look at the Buc’s CB unit that our “ROH” GM has built…
WOW – talk about “doom and gloom”.
LOL!

@ BA’s Red P
I agree.
Too bad we can’t play the Jets 10 times this season.
We might have a chance at winning 8 games if that were the case…

It was against the Jets. In practice.
If a preseason game is meaningless, then this is even less meaningful.

I watched practice highlights on a Jets web site. Effective pro Jets editing.
You would have thought our defense was fully porous (like last season) and the Jets were torching the Bucs D throughout from the videos point of view.

Say what you want BUT starters do need limited playing time to get in sink for the season. A drive or two is enough. Old guys like me remember the days of SIX pre-season games. Seems like there are so many injuries due to players not being in ‘game shape’ early in the season. ‘Lovie Jr’ already stated starters will not play against the Jets.

Ok Marine, Im good.
And thank you for your service.
August 14th, 2026 at 8:27 am
BA’s Red Pen, yea, if the Bucs looked like crap against the Jets, then that would definitely be a good reason for gloom and doom. Gino Smith… enough said.
Im going with David Bailey or Bain for DROY.
August 14th, 2026 at 8:29 am
That was also without Wirfs, EE and McMillan.

@ senor harry
All good buddy.
I know it’s difficult at times to hear (or see) a person being “negative” towards something that you admire and love.
But sometimes we need people in our lives that are more “realistic” and are willing to be the bearer of “realistic” news…
I don’t like it anymore than you do.
But this team is mediocre at best.
PFT agrees – as they have the Bucs ranked #21 in the NFL.
Is PFT also trolling you guys?
7-10 – Maybe worse once Mayfield gets injured AGAIN.

I can’t disagree with that. It reminds me of believing being sold a bill of goods in 2025 for SirVocea Dennis and LVD, and that Braswell was going to shock us all.
I like Licht. I think he is a good GM, typically drafts well. But 2025 brought him down a few notches
August 14th, 2026 at 8:34 am
Don’t get p!ssy with me folks!
Blame the owners, GM and Head Coach – not my fault…
August 14th, 2026 at 8:34 am
Senor you’re the man. Keep posting my friend. Football is (at least) for me a way to escape the daily grind for a bit and have some fun.
This site is just full of the Marine types that log on just to whine and everything. I mean this here article is a nice piece about a good moment in camp and in comes the Debbie Downer to put a negative slant on it.
It’s actually kinda sad really.
August 14th, 2026 at 8:38 am
@ Senor Harry
I agree.
I don’t dislike our GM but he is mediocre and if it wasn’t for Tom Brady and his buddies – Gronk, AB and Fournette – our “ROH” GM would have been fired out of our cannon and would be currently working as a scout in Cleveland…

@ fan of the
“It’s actually kinda sad really.”
Being realistic is sad to you?
Can you explain for some of us special needs people like me?
