Bucs-Titans, Open Thread
August 9th, 2025
HALFTIME! Preseason is here! Rachaad White and receiver Dennis Houston got injured in the first half, as Kyle Trask was nearly perfect.
COMMENT ALL GAME LONG below on your favorite backups!
Be nice. Go Bucs!

LFG!!!!!!!!
My biggest thing today is to see how timely the playcalls from the sideline are. Testing the Grizz.
August 9th, 2025 at 7:31 pm
A lot of guys are playing for a spot on the Practice Squad
With our injury history, a lot of guys on the Practice Squad
Will get activated to the active roster
So tonight game is very important to them
August 9th, 2025 at 7:31 pm
I can’t imagine a much better roster than the one that has been given to baker bake a cake
August 9th, 2025 at 7:35 pm
Can these marketing idiots stop saying everything is ‘family’ – f’ing idiots, get some new material.
August 9th, 2025 at 7:36 pm
The field is wet, praying for all the joints and ligaments tonight. I don’t care if the play is sloppy, but I want the injury report clean as a whistle.
What are we watching most Bucs fans?
Keying on the front 4? Secondary? Maybe how out ILB depth works out.
WRs not named Palmer or Johnson, the “others” lol
August 9th, 2025 at 7:37 pm
GO BUCS
August 9th, 2025 at 7:39 pm
So for season ticket holding fans, the Bucs aren’t playing any of their starters at home – instead only on the road. Has to make you feel good about buying those tickets.
August 9th, 2025 at 7:39 pm
Trask is not 6′ 0″ tall you morons at WFLA. Fire the intern that did that.
August 9th, 2025 at 7:40 pm
Finally fix the audio. LOL
August 9th, 2025 at 7:40 pm
Wow. Passing game!
August 9th, 2025 at 7:41 pm
Kyle is slanging that thang
August 9th, 2025 at 7:42 pm
Rashaad 6’5″. ????
LOL
Kinks to work out
August 9th, 2025 at 7:43 pm
Rachaad White, 6’5” 215 lololololol
August 9th, 2025 at 7:44 pm
Watching the offensive line since Joe has said the 2nd team o-line sucks, and he’s correct, they were pretty bad – although on the last couple of plays they looked a little better. But starting that drive, what a mess. They need some snaps.
August 9th, 2025 at 7:44 pm
PUT SOME RESPECT ON HIS NAME
August 9th, 2025 at 7:44 pm
Trask is SLINGING it, looks great
August 9th, 2025 at 7:44 pm
Ok , get EE and JM out of there ,,, no need to risk ,, they look fine
August 9th, 2025 at 7:45 pm
Think they should have gone for it on 4th and five. Nothing too tricky but maybe just a screen to White.
August 9th, 2025 at 7:48 pm
Would’ve liked to see a slant for the 3rd down play
August 9th, 2025 at 7:49 pm
Parrish looked good!
August 9th, 2025 at 7:49 pm
Nice play by Parrish, and that’s a 3 & out with Egbuka returning punts. What are we doing here
August 9th, 2025 at 7:50 pm
Great start to the game
Defense staying sticky
August 9th, 2025 at 7:50 pm
EE returning punts? Is Bowels nuts
August 9th, 2025 at 7:50 pm
why on earth would you put Ebuka back to return punts?
August 9th, 2025 at 7:50 pm
Parrish providing the first good coverage over middle of field we have seen in 4 years.
August 9th, 2025 at 7:51 pm
Tez or tucker should be returning imo
Huge sean tucker believer here
August 9th, 2025 at 7:51 pm
Wish the starters couldve played one drive even burrow played 2 drives on thursday
August 9th, 2025 at 7:52 pm
My thoughts exactly. Todd should be fired, if this kid gets hurt.
August 9th, 2025 at 7:54 pm
All the starters are on the sideline wearing the same outfit lol
August 9th, 2025 at 7:55 pm
I will say since the first few snaps, the offense line has looked better.
August 9th, 2025 at 7:55 pm
Why are we starting White???
We already know what he can do. Smh Bowles/Grizzard
August 9th, 2025 at 7:55 pm
Wet field man, hoping it’s nothing serious for Rachaad
August 9th, 2025 at 7:56 pm
White goes down.
Cool. Cool cool cool.
August 9th, 2025 at 7:57 pm
Trask did the same thing at UF. Holds the ball way too long. Should have thrown it away
August 9th, 2025 at 7:57 pm
Trask just glitched in the pocket
August 9th, 2025 at 7:58 pm
That’s a nice catch in traffic by Miller.
August 9th, 2025 at 7:58 pm
Also that’s a face mask penalty, but hey why call it
August 9th, 2025 at 7:59 pm
Ok at least Whites legs will be fresh when he comes back after the bye
August 9th, 2025 at 7:59 pm
Nice pass
August 9th, 2025 at 7:59 pm
Trask looked good on that play…Miller snatched it.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:01 pm
Heck got stood up
August 9th, 2025 at 8:01 pm
Is white injury serious? i cannot get game live
August 9th, 2025 at 8:02 pm
Kyle can run
August 9th, 2025 at 8:03 pm
yeah white has a groin injury. out ofthe game
August 9th, 2025 at 8:03 pm
White has a groin injury and won’t return. His leg is wrapped.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:03 pm
Why do we get stuck with the ESPN clown Chris Meyers? The guy is a buffone, knows nothing about football or the team he is calling the game for! Totally pathetic, Yea I am a hater!!!
August 9th, 2025 at 8:03 pm
Miller is great.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:04 pm
Tucker. wow. power runner.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:04 pm
Trask is looking good.

———–
I don’t think so, he hurt himself the play before he went out and was grabbing his sack, then ran the ball again and got up punching his sack (that’s what it looked like). Hard to tell with those injuries – but he looked more annoyed than in pain.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:05 pm

August 9th, 2025 at 8:05 pm
Trask dottin it up
August 9th, 2025 at 8:06 pm
o line has no push. geez.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:06 pm
The old up the gut
August 9th, 2025 at 8:06 pm
Sean Tucker is good for a run like that with enough touches once a game. I know Bucky is the fan favorite, love the guy as much as you guys, but MAN! Tucker is too explosive to not try to tap into
August 9th, 2025 at 8:06 pm
Tucker RB2
August 9th, 2025 at 8:06 pm
I don’t think tucker will be on the team much longer, he is not a #3 back and deserves an opportunity
August 9th, 2025 at 8:06 pm
ok Munch thx not serious good
August 9th, 2025 at 8:07 pm
Trask learned a lot from Brady.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:07 pm
OL isn’t moving anyone
August 9th, 2025 at 8:08 pm
Tucker is the Ryan Griffin of RBs, always good for some stat padding in preseason.

——–
Well I’m not sure, but I’m just saying as far as hamstring, groin injuries go, it didn’t at first glance look severe, in particular since he stayed in the game and ran the ball again after getting injured. No idea why they didn’t pull him before the second carry since it was clear he was grabbing his sack.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:09 pm
Trask…field general. Very impressive.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:09 pm
Tucker has serious speed when he gets going.
I think Miller could be WR6 if he’s any good on special teams. Otherwise stash him on PS.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:10 pm
Miller keeps balling, nice!
August 9th, 2025 at 8:10 pm
Lose our 2nd rd CB and now white. Can we call the game already
August 9th, 2025 at 8:10 pm
TUCKER TD!!!
August 9th, 2025 at 8:10 pm
TRASK IS UNSTOPPABLE. TWO DRIVES, TWO SCORES.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:11 pm
Good drive
August 9th, 2025 at 8:11 pm
Trask, Tucker, Miller—having good game.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:11 pm
Trask looked good
August 9th, 2025 at 8:11 pm
That TD run looked more impressive from the endzone view – it’s why ALL22 is always the best way to watch stuff, his quick cutback was good to see.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:11 pm
Is Miller really 6’7”?!
August 9th, 2025 at 8:12 pm
Morrison got injured too? Damn. I missed the first few min.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:12 pm
A better UI especially mobile, would be awesome.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:12 pm
Tucker looks good running the ball. I don’t mind him getting regular season snaps in White’s absence but White is a pass catching back that’s hard to replace. Bucky does great catching but can Tucker replace White in catching the ball?
August 9th, 2025 at 8:12 pm
The offensive line, after a very very shaky start, really has looked much better. I assume the Titans by now have already pulled their starters, but if not, it’s even more impressive. Regardless, getting some snaps in a row seems to be doing them good.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:13 pm
Bowles saving Mayfield and Trask getting good work.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:13 pm
Tucker was offensive player of the week one game last year, do you watch football?
August 9th, 2025 at 8:13 pm
Trask 7/8 – 87% Completion Rate.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:13 pm
Chukwama is being groomed to be an in-house swing tackle. Wouldn’t be shocked if he played the rest of this game

———-
The biggest thing is that White is an exceptional pass blocking RB, and when a guy can block and catch, that’s a huge asset on 3rd down.
Tucker is OK as a backup, hopefully they don’t need him outside a few touches to keep Bucky fresh.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:14 pm
That looked familiar

August 9th, 2025 at 8:22 pm
Same Defense. This is going to be a long season. 8-9 incoming
August 9th, 2025 at 8:22 pm
D looked shakey on that drive.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:22 pm
Backup defenders vs a lot of Titans starters
August 9th, 2025 at 8:22 pm
Keep in mind. This is our 2nd/3rd team defense making what is practically the Titans’ 1st team offense have to work for it here.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:23 pm
O gonna need lotta points with the Keep it close D.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:23 pm
Our backups almost got off the field again vs the Titans starting offense. I thought that was a good drive. Titans got the bulk of their yards on 1 play early
August 9th, 2025 at 8:24 pm
Braswell is getting handled by their backup RT. The second he gets his hands on him he is useless. Not impressed
August 9th, 2025 at 8:24 pm
Parrish has some work to do – but I’m glad to see it happen now instead of when it matters. The Titans really went after him, but keep in mind using Ridley, who is a top flight WR, and Lockett who is a savy vet – it’s not like he was getting beat by some scrubs. Nothing at all wrong with that, the kid needs to learn, and this will do nothing but help him.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:24 pm
I mean its our backup D vs the titans first team offense you guys overreact about everything on here
August 9th, 2025 at 8:24 pm
There are still quite a few starters on D out there
August 9th, 2025 at 8:25 pm
You gotta love the negative nay-bobs of negativity on this thread. One bad drive for the defense and the predictions of doom for the season start appearing.

Literally fake news from a low IQ moron. I watched him on about half the plays and he was getting good pressure every time I watched him, not getting stood up or stopped.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:25 pm
Jack Burton,
He’s playing pretty well, the improved get off is very noticeable. To the point it almost looks like he’s jumping offside. I’d like to see him get his leverage a little lower, but he’s firing off well
August 9th, 2025 at 8:25 pm
D line looks pretty weak. No penetration,no pressure. 2nd string isn’t getting it done.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:26 pm
Literally 2 of their starting receivers, both starting RB’s, and Starting QB and Starting TE for the Titans were out there. Just look at their depth chart.
Cam Ward
Calvin Ridley
Tyler Lockett
Tajae Spears
Chig Okonkwo
August 9th, 2025 at 8:27 pm
How many D starters did we have out there? Basically 2?
Jacob Parrish who’s a Rookie, and Sirvocea Dennis who has dealt with injuries. Everyone else is Not a starter
August 9th, 2025 at 8:27 pm
Miller has to make the team.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:28 pm
Tucker got pulled, we’ve seen enough of that kid. Let’s go Kyle!!!
August 9th, 2025 at 8:29 pm

August 9th, 2025 at 8:29 pm
Elijah Klein lol c’mon man
August 9th, 2025 at 8:29 pm
Klein is playing center? That’s a tough move, I didn’t realize they were planning on using him there in games.

Hopefully just bland preseason game calling.
The 2nd and long draw, followed by 3rd and long screen is as predictable as it gets.
But again, it’s just preseason and teams rarely show anything.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:31 pm
Trask 9/10. LOL
August 9th, 2025 at 8:33 pm
Very balanced on offense… 91 yards passing, 80 yards rushing, and doing at least part of that with our backups vs their starters, and outside the bad snap, the Bucs were moving the ball mostly at will.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:34 pm
All the Trask haters suddenly got quiet.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:34 pm
Off-season football = vanilla everything on a styrofoam flavored cone.
Josh Hayes with the hello, how ya doin?
August 9th, 2025 at 8:34 pm
Ryan Miller is really impressive!
On another note, the NFL is entirely too permissive about jersey numbers? A linebacker wears #8, a punter wears #92, etc. It’s jarring for us traditionalists!
August 9th, 2025 at 8:34 pm
Parrish is a keeper
August 9th, 2025 at 8:34 pm
OK, Titans have their backups in, get Parrish out of there – he made a good play, now send him to the bench.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:34 pm
I think Todd Bowles quite literally just shed a tear on that Parrish PBU
August 9th, 2025 at 8:35 pm
Great play by Parrish!!! Look at Bowles smirkin like he just found $20 in the laundry
August 9th, 2025 at 8:36 pm

Son of Trask enjoy yourself. Preseason is the only time you will see him. Well except for holding a clipboard.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:39 pm
Up da gut again.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:39 pm
DBS, that’s what you think. Dude set SEC records against top corners that now play in the NFL. Dude has superstar potential if given the chance.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:40 pm
Dude we are all rooting for Trask,, we will need him if anything ever happens to Baker,, he looks good tonight ,, just as good as Sanders looked last night for the Browns ,, lots of QBs look good in preseason
August 9th, 2025 at 8:40 pm
Im really impressed by Trask….no wonder they kept him hidden….looking good Kyle!
August 9th, 2025 at 8:41 pm
Joe is going to say it’s just preseason and it don’t mean nothing or less he struggles then it will matter.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:42 pm
Good Grief…..How conservative. Keepin it close as usual?
August 9th, 2025 at 8:42 pm

August 9th, 2025 at 8:43 pm

August 9th, 2025 at 8:44 pm
Trask looks great tonight….
My issue was with delusional Trask fans thinking he was better than Mayfield
August 9th, 2025 at 8:44 pm
Not a fan of a lot of the calls tonight.

August 9th, 2025 at 8:47 pm
Tbb. The reason why people said that was because of the training camp in 2023 he was better than Baker Mayfield according to the reports .

This awful WFLA broadcast is why you should always mute the TV and put on the radio, and listen to the legendary Gene Deckerhoff.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:53 pm
It is ‘Close’ Very conservative play calls. Trask wins a cookie.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:53 pm
I’ve got it on Bucs Radio and am enjoying it. It’s on the boob tube here in O-ville but I like Bucs Radio better–been a fan for decades.

August 9th, 2025 at 8:54 pm
so psyched!! everybody playing good, kyle slinging it, go bucs!! stoked football is back
August 9th, 2025 at 8:54 pm
Trask is solid.
Nothing against Baker, I like Baker and his scrappiness, but it would be interesting to see if Trask played behind our starting OLine and got to throw to our stacked WR group.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:57 pm
They should get rid of the preseason games. Let the teams set up scrimmages on their own.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:57 pm
Mike Buc is on some other channel watching some other game. LOL Turn on the Buc game. Our new OC is calling a chicken game imo.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:58 pm
Everyone keeps trying to bury Trask, but he keeps getting better.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:58 pm
OUR D IS STILL A BIG MYSTERY!
Pass rush will probably be the difference maker for how this season goes. It’s such an unknown how Reddick is going to play for us and if we can finally get a decent pass rush going. These backups aren’t getting tons of pocket pressure.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:58 pm
This ia an enjoyable PS game. So far. But TOO CLOSE.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:59 pm
MPTB – Trask is clearly good enough to start in this league. He’s tall, poised, and also more mobile than people realize. He’s still a very accurate passer like he was at UF.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:59 pm
Bucs on the field for 21 minutes and they were on the field for 9 minutes. Thats one way to win the game.
August 9th, 2025 at 8:59 pm
Basic football. Blocking tackling, rushing , catching. Need to evaluate the players, don’t expect anything more with respect to play calling. Plain Vanilla.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:01 pm
TTTF he learned from TOM Brady. You can see it. We got a great back up here in case Bakefield is hurt. Still dont get the Bridgewater experiment.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:01 pm
I know Joes hate preseason games, but they’re essential. How else are you going to judge new players?
August 9th, 2025 at 9:02 pm
Best thing about that first half was how the offensive line played – those first 3-4 plays, they were terrible, but after that they played a lot better, and a good amount of that was vs the Titans starters.
Trask obviously did a very good job – which is great to see since it didn’t sound like he was having a very good camp.
Also the offense put up 209 yards? Didn’t feel like it, but they controlled the clock, had it for 21 minutes, so I guess that adds up.
On defense, I’d have loved if Parrish had played better vs their starters, but it’s really invaluable for him to get snaps vs really good players – and I got a feeling he’s going to be a lot better because of it. I’m not down even the tiniest amount, rookies need snaps and he got some vs quality players, which only helps him.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:03 pm
Looking fwd to 2nd half. Fun game so far for PS. Bowles was even yuking it up on the sideline instead of being a stiff.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:09 pm
I know Tom & Blaine are gonna see some of this and go “awww my baby” lol
Kyle plays like he’s trying to emulate both while equipped with his talent.

Is it just me or does Trask look like he has a subpar arm for the NFL? I’m not impressed with the speed of his decision making and arm strength. He also has a tendency to stare down receivers. I’m not surprised Baker won the position.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:14 pm
Bowles looks happy.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:18 pm
Trask is the new Tom Brady. What a QB. Super Trask!

Titans QB does a Derrek Carr and throws it out of bounds on 4th down.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:19 pm
Good stand.
What’s your way Allen threw it away like that. I guess it’s better than a pick 6?
August 9th, 2025 at 9:19 pm
Just here for the first “fire Bowles” of the session
Go Bucs!
August 9th, 2025 at 9:21 pm
Rod, Trask was fine in camp. Don’t believe everything you read. Other, inferior, sites have been complimentary of KT.
Looks to me like 43 is a bust. 81 is a keeper. Trask will be a very good backup. We are not super deep on defense. Gonna keep watching.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:21 pm
Not impressed with Gizzard play calling.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:21 pm
I thought Bazelak was hurt.
In any case, watching his college highlights, he looks terrible. I have no idea how guys like that are ever brought to camp.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:22 pm
Gizzard not a football wizard. We may have a problem here.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:24 pm
To the people upset about the offensive play calling, do you understand preseason football at all??
August 9th, 2025 at 9:25 pm
Jack Burton Mercer – Not writing off Braswell yet, he was getting off the ball well early on, but yeah, you’d like him make a play, but also the Titans didn’t have the ball that much. In any case, there’s no depth, so we’ll see him in any case, so I’m hoping for the best.
Miller did have a very good first half. He didn’t impress me last year in the regular season, but as I was saying above, he’s a young guy and certainly could still be developing – and I’m absolutely not rooting against him.

Yeah, it’s pretty shocking that people don’t know that teams don’t run their real offenses in the preseason. We don’t even get the game 3 ‘regular season’ tune up games anymore.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:26 pm
Miller down.
Pratt is the QB who has been injured and out of camp
August 9th, 2025 at 9:26 pm
Grizzard will have growing pains and the same learning curve the Canales went through….just part of the deal for 1st year OC’s
The hope is he can overcome those throughout the year.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:26 pm
Idk about Super Kyle, but as a backup being somewhere between Gabbert and Brady can’t be all that bad 😅.
I’ll say this, Trask is definitely better than a Kenny Pickett or Daniel Jones in my opinion.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:28 pm
Munch: Miller is reliable and that is necessary, he was reliable last season as well. He needs to make the team.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:28 pm
Why do all teams do sideline interviews during games? It adds nothing as players say nothing and it just distracts from what I’m watching. At least they’re not doing split screen like many teams do – so there’s your one prop WFLA.

espn play by play says R.Miller was injured crying out loud! what happened?
August 9th, 2025 at 9:31 pm
Love seeing Markees Watts out there. He puts pressure on the backfield most snaps. I want to see him get more time this season.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:31 pm
Is another up the gut or two coming up??
August 9th, 2025 at 9:32 pm
Nick Jackson plays with a lot of heart. I’m worried about Chris Braswell.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:32 pm
Dirt ball.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:33 pm
Just 5 penalties so far between the two teams. Not as sloppy as first preseason games usually are.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:33 pm
Ryan Miller concussed
August 9th, 2025 at 9:33 pm
Miller possible concussion.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:34 pm
Is Klien playing all game. Is he the BU center.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:34 pm
That’s what I figured. Got nailed in the head
August 9th, 2025 at 9:34 pm
Bullock and jackson..we often find good linebackers out if no where, and they both look good to me
August 9th, 2025 at 9:35 pm
Jesus Christ, now even on radio they’re doing a sideline interviews. I don’t care – these are worthless – just treat the game like it’s a game. No idea why anyone thinks sideline interviews are interesting, no one ever says anything.
Here’s a radio transcript…
TJ to Reddick – “how do you deal with the heat”
Reddick – “oh man it’s hot out here … but I do my best”
TJ – “you’re hungry and ready to get started”
Reddick – “yes, I’m ready for the season”
TJ – “Bowles defense, what do you like”
Reddick – “I love aggressive defenses… uh what was the question?”
Remarkable stuff, added a ton of knowledge and entertainment.

I see Majors out there at center now. I forgot we signed him, but good to have a true center on the depth chart, just in case.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:37 pm
#8 is why 16 was brought in.
Seems like the Grizzfense is (maybe) going to be a blend of 19 and 24. Not bad if he can pull it off.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:38 pm
RED ZONE LOL fumble. Battle on the grass. keepin it close.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:38 pm
I doubt we see Teddy tonight. Probably wont make his debut till next week.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:39 pm
Whatever happens this has been an interest PS game. Fun to watch.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:41 pm
geez. right through the d line like butter.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:42 pm
Has anyone heard anything about Jake Majors in camp? I completely forgot they signed him, and he seemed like a solid prospect. I thought he was undersized which is why he went undrafted, but he’s 315, so that’s about average for a center in 2025. He’s got short arms which I guess is his big sin, but as a center that’s not normally a deal breaker.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:42 pm

Agree with that. Also last year the preseason games were pretty fun to watch as well. Been a couple of years since we’ve had a truly awful dud of a preseason game.
My vote for the worst of all-time was the year we had the GOAT farmer out there starting game 4, vs the Browns I think – that game was horrific. That GOAT farmer had no business being in an NFL camp, zero NFL ability, and was just terrible on the field – and I think he played the entire game.

August 9th, 2025 at 9:45 pm
Did Tez or Houston play tonight?
August 9th, 2025 at 9:45 pm
That sucks for Miller if he is concussed, hope White isn’t too badly injured.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:46 pm
Miller did not have a concussion
August 9th, 2025 at 9:46 pm
These players need to quit with all this concussion nonsense. Do like they did in the 80s, 90s, and even 00s, and walk it off.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:46 pm
It’s good to see Bryce Hall out there. A lot of competition in the secondary. It’s going to be tough for him to make the roster.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:47 pm
We have a guy on the roster named, #64, Nash Hutmacher.
That has to be a fake name.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:48 pm
Hopefully the Joe that hates on Trask will give him some well deserved props for his play tonight. 12 of 16 for 129 in a half of play. Very efficient, not earth shattering, but handled himself very well with back-ups. He’s worthy to be the guy to come in if Mayfield misses time. I think he can hold his own and might surprise. I have read that Trask excelled with the first team when Baker had a hand issue.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:48 pm
Barber is disrespecting JPP saying Reddick is the biggest FA signing on D line since Sim Rice.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:49 pm
#53 Nick Jackson leads the team in tackles, has a sack and an INT.

I’m not as big of a fan of Tucker as others, but why in the world is he still in there?
August 9th, 2025 at 9:51 pm
In 4 plays span Nick Jackson had a sack. Tackle and intercept interception. Not bad. Could’ve made the practice squad tonight.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:51 pm

Could make the roster with the lack of depth the Bucs have at LB. I liked his draft profile, undersized guy with very good speed. I think he’s more of an inside guy, but he seemed to be playing outside.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:52 pm
Thx Rod. That’s true.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:55 pm

Unless your goal is to match the 1976 Bucs in wins, you shouldn’t even want him on the roster. He’s insanely inaccurate and inconsistent.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:58 pm
Yeah surprised they let him back in. Even when they said he cleared protocol they said he probably wouldn’t be back in tonight.
August 9th, 2025 at 9:59 pm
He is the next Trask! We found our QB1
August 9th, 2025 at 10:00 pm
Wow first time hearing trask speak ever he sounds so country
August 9th, 2025 at 10:00 pm
Our 3rd team def is better than their 3rd team offense.
August 9th, 2025 at 10:01 pm
JJ Roberts Will make this team.
August 9th, 2025 at 10:02 pm
Rod Munch. No Trask is 6’5. He weight 230 to 235 in college amd definitely looks like he has taken on the Brady diet.
August 9th, 2025 at 10:03 pm
I unmuted the TV to hear Trask and all I heard him say was to tell the hot sideline reporter, “I like what I see.” Well, at least we know he’s honest, and doesn’t play for the other team.
August 9th, 2025 at 10:03 pm

If you’re talking about my comment above – I was mocking the awful WFLA broadcast, where they had his height listed as 6′ 0″. Then they had Rashaad White listed at 6′ 5″. Just an awful production team there.

Shilo looked alright. A couple of Qb pressures and I believe he had a tackle.
August 9th, 2025 at 10:14 pm
Why the hell are they still running Tucker. He’s gonna be an important piece over a season to this offense.
August 9th, 2025 at 10:15 pm
I see shilo now
August 9th, 2025 at 10:16 pm
Harris, eh wont make it.
Kieft, you shouldve known better!
August 9th, 2025 at 10:16 pm
Look at other stats… Russell Gage is playing for the 49ers, I thought he had retired.
August 9th, 2025 at 10:17 pm
Yeah, don’t know who handles the stats regarding players size and weight, there were several that were totally of base.
August 9th, 2025 at 10:17 pm

August 9th, 2025 at 10:19 pm
owen wright is fast.
August 9th, 2025 at 10:19 pm
Haven’t seen Tez, or Shiloh, very
Curious. Also Tucker looked great out there I’m convinced with more reps on first team he would shine. White is great too and I’m a huge fan of white but I hear a lot of people considering him a “proven vet”. He’s not he has played 3 years and started 1. He has a lot to prove with who he has behind him And has every reason to be out there in preseason to prove that. Sucks he got injuried like I said I love reached but injuries come with football and the preseason is a test for all those who aren’t on the first team roaster idc if your are a vet or not. You all saw Bryce hall out there today right?
August 9th, 2025 at 10:20 pm

Got out relatively healthy. White tweaked his groin.
August 9th, 2025 at 10:23 pm
Owen Wright making a huge case to be included as RB4 for this team
August 9th, 2025 at 10:24 pm
Ryan Coe was 14 of 22 in FGs last year … I know he was kicking long FGs, but no idea how that gets you an NFL invite. Clearly he’s just there to limit Chase’s workload.
August 9th, 2025 at 10:25 pm
178 yards rushing, 170 yards passing – this is the happiest Bowles has ever been, it’s like 1970 all over again.
August 9th, 2025 at 10:26 pm
Your hope if your Coe is to put out some good tape and a team give you a tryout if their kicker get injured. Missing a XP is awful.
August 9th, 2025 at 10:26 pm
Owen Wright needs to make the team, what a game he had!
August 9th, 2025 at 10:27 pm

August 9th, 2025 at 10:36 pm

He lost the ball as he was trying to switch hands to get the ball over the pylon, was worried live he was being careless with the ball or celebrating, but glad to see on replay that wasn’t the case.

August 9th, 2025 at 10:42 pm
Man I liked what I saw in our depth today. This team has lots of talent all over the roster on both sides of the ball. Not many teams can take 4th 5th round draft picks and make them pro bowlers. Excited for the regular season
August 9th, 2025 at 10:46 pm
Trask looks like a good solid backup QB to Baker.
