Telling Number Of 2025 Season Is “61”
July 8th, 2026
A fascinating Buccaneers data point was shared by NFL media yesterday.
Guess how many times receivers Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Emeka Egbuka were on the field at the same time? The answer is 61 times — the trio played only 61 snaps together.
And here’s the real punch in the gut, via the NFL. “On those plays, the Bucs averaged 6.5 yards per play, which would have led the NFL.”
Savvy Bucs fans realize, ‘Hey, those guys played the final four games together last season.’ Why weren’t they on the field together more often giving defensive coordinators nightmares — even four-wide with Jalen McMillan, who played in the final four games.
Under the bus again you go, Josh Grizzard!
Of course, the “61” snaps together for Evans, Godwin and Grizzard further highlight how injury-riddled the Bucs were last season.

Last season. Time to leave it behind us. The Evans, David the legends, Hall, the not so legends. All gone, rear view mirror. In just 20 short days, time to get on the 26, 27 pirate ship. Hope springs eternal.

Grizz was not quite up to the job. Still, he had to try to protect Baker as much as possible. I am not a play caller, but I wouldn’t dream of running an empty backfield with those guards and I would imagine he kept two tight ends most plays. Don’t really have a way to rewatch them for free.

I think it had A LOT more to do with Mr. Todd Bowles, than anything else. He decided to go strictly with a ground and pound style of game plan during those last few games of the season, in order to win the time of possession. He’d lost all trust in Baker AND His Defense, by that point.

“Grizz was not quite up to the job. Still, he had to try to protect Baker as much as possible.”
Protect Baker from what? Injury? And how do you protect a running QB from injury? Going by his off-season interviews, he’s not concerned with protecting himself because he’s “started every game”.
As far as Grizz is concerned, it falls on Bowles. He has more experience, he’s the vet and he’s the boss. As always Todd is slow with adjustments. If you’re not playing your best players together, on both sides of the ball, then what are we doing here?

Bee: It was Gizz first year and the first half of the season we looked incredible!

It’s a new season but this one is Do or Die for Todd Bowles. Get it done or your gone. His old way have not worked. Fix it adios

Incompetence, negligence, malpractice – starts at the top

Wasn’t there a certain HC/DC that decided to “help” the offense late in the season? What game did that catastrophe start?
