Bucs Training Camp 2025, Day 10 Notes (LEFTOVERS)

August 6th, 2025

Yeah, Joe already posted notes from training camp practice on Tuesday. How about some midnight leftovers for a snack?

* In one-on-one drills, Kindle Vildor did a really solid job covering Mike Evans down the right sideline and denies Evans.

* Pushoff! Rookie 6-6 receiver Jaden Smith (UDFA Nevada) had a major pushoff on Bryce Hall down the left sideline. Blatant with the left hand throwing Hall away to create space. And here come the flags.

*”Flags” was a big theme in practice, especially early on. The Bucs had referees Tuesday. Their right arms had to be sore Tuesday night from throwing so many flags. It wasn’t uncommon to see three plays in a row watching flags fly through the air. By that standard, it was a very sloppy practice.

* Dennis Houston got tangled up with Vildor. But what impressed Joe was how quick Houston’s feet were to untangle and stay on his two feet to complete the route.

11-on-11

* Tanner Taula catches a pass on the left side and is absolutely drilled in the ribs by Haason Reddick. The collision pops the ball loose. Forced fumble by Reddick!

* Baker Mayfield lets loose and hits Garrett Greene on a deep pass down the left sideline perfectly in stride. What a throw. What hand injury? The crowd loudly roars its approval.

* What was the license number of that truck you just ran into Rachaad White? The Bucs running back runs up the middle and is totally blasted by linebacker Antonio Grier. How hard did Grier blast White? Grier knocked White backwards. You know how fullbacks can truck a linebacker? Well, Grier trucked White.

Two-minute drill

* Traffic breaks through the line and gets in Mayfield’s face. No problem. Mayfield then just goes Tim Hill and sidearms a pass to Sterling Shepard in the short right corner of the end zone for six.

* Vildor absolutely levels Ryan Miller down the left sideline. Joe’s seeing a lot of strong hitting in practice today. It’s good for the soul!

* But here was an example of not hitting: SirVocea Dennis and Miller were supposed to engage, even though the play was on the right side of the field. Dennis and Miller (no pun intended) decided to do a Moe Howard and Curly Howard routine. They were supposed to hit, even though they gave up on the play. So both of them looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders and bro-hugged to at least show the coaches they engaged each other on the play.

    I hope we sack Penix enough that he thinks twice about feeling comfortable playing us week 1 and that Baker dices them up for 5 tuddies

    Rooting for Kindle Vildor! Sounds like he is going strong.

    Thanks for the lagniappe Joe! Good to hear about some hitting! I hope Grier continues to make plays as I love his ability to get picks.

    Speaking of the CB position. Is Tyrek Funderburk still a Buc? He has great tangibles and I was hoping he would improve this season.

  7. Beeej Says:

    Yup, it says Funderburk is behind Hayes and Zyon.

    ALSO says Teddy is #2 QB, not sure how much stock to put in this

  8. heyjude Says:

    AlabamaBucsFan – You got that right. He is still young and this could be a break out year.

  9. Funderstruck Says:

    Admittedly, it’s been a busy couple of weeks at work, so I haven’t been all over the copious notes the Joes have relayed to us hungry Bucs fans….

    But connecting back to the original notes post, I’m very concerned about Funderburk’s camp being seemingly bereft of positive notes. I get that he was fortunate to be on the 53 last year, but with the additions of high level rookies this year, I’m not sure he has a place on the team this year. Am I interpreting this correctly, Joes? I’m starting to think my first-ever Creamsicle jersey with Funderburk’s name and 24 on it will be an homage to a former player—where I will be asked (when I wear it) why I bought a jersey with a misspelling of my own last name! 🙂
