Pressure on Bucs RB Bucky Irving today.

When Bucky Irving is on the field for the Bucs, he’s going to produce. Especially at home.

When Bucky takes the field at The Licht House today, he’s damn dependable. For example, in 11 of Bucky’s last 12 home games, Bucky has at least 50 yards of offense from scrimmage.

Also, Bucky is on a hot streak playing the Dixie Chicks. He has at least 50 yards from scrimmage in three of his last four games against Atlanta.

So if history is any gauge, Bucky should be able to move the ball. And it will be important that he does.

Rain and thunderstorms are expected today. So Joe suspects that the Bucs are going to keep it on the ground and try to play ground and pound.

Given how they curb-stomped the Stinking Panthers last week, that may be a smart move.

Joe’s has only one question: Is Bucky a mudder?
