The Bucs need help at edge rusher. There are no guarantees that Spence’s shoulder will hold up,Authentic Joel Heath Jersey, as Martin has shown no signs this year of returning to his 2015 Pro Bowl form, and Robert Ayers will be 33 years old next season. Gerald McCoy continues to take on double-teams,Womens D.J. Reader Jersey, too, and no one is getting to the quarterback in one-on-one matchups outside. They also need to invest a significant draft pick in a running back, that can’t happen in 2018.

The Bucs neglected their offensive line this past offseason,Womens Corey Moore Jersey, and with the struggles they had getting the running game going
Laine couldn’t be any more accurate about the Bucs’ offseason needs. There’s been a significant amount of pass rush this season, the offensive line still needs to be addressed and the Bucs may also want to re-evaluate their struggling secondary as well., Martin has failed to be effective and really return to his prime 2015 form
With that said,Womens Stephen Anderson Jersey, what do you think Bucs Nation? Which area do the Bucs need to work on the most this offseason?
The Bucs came awfully close to notching a much-needed big win versus the Packers in Week 13 action. But a fourth quarter field goal by Green Bay within the final moments of the matchup tied the game up at 20 which forced the game to move into overtime. Despite Tampa Bay having the opportunity to clinch a win at Lambeau, handing the Buccaneers their eighth loss of the season.,Womens Jeff Allen Jersey, a 20-yard touchdown run from Aaron Jones in overtime ultimately sealed Green Bay’s win
Those questions were raised in the aftermath of a game so brutal that it made viewers cringe. Pittsburgh rallied for a 23-20 victory at Paul Brown Stadium on Monday night,Womens Andre Hal Jersey, its sixth straight win over the Bengals.
What it’ll be remembered for, though, and fines for other players are expected later in the week., is how it felt more like a street brawl at times. The NFL responded by suspending Steelers receiver JuJu Schuster-Smith and Bengals safety George Iloka for one game each on Tuesday
“I’ll acknowledge there were some unfortunate things in that game that we don’t need in our game — by both sides,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday.
It’s been going on for years, with grudges deepening.
Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier will remain in a Cincinnati hospital until at least today to undergo further testing on a spinal injury suffered in the first quarter.
Shazier left Paul Brown Stadium on a stretcher less than four minutes into the game following a tackle that left the 25-year-old writhing on the turf, with the team saying Shazier’s injury did not require surgery “at this time.”, his legs motionless. He underwent extensive testing overnight
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, including good friend and fellow inside linebacker Vince Williams.,Womens Joel Heath Jersey, general manager Kevin Colbert and team president Art Rooney II visited Shazier before heading back to Pittsburgh. Tomlin called their conversation “normal” and said Shazier was concerned about the well-being of the rest of the team
“Ryan is a legitimate leader, Vince particularly. I told him about the guys. We talked about how the game unfolded.”,Authentic D.J. Reader Jersey,” Tomlin said. “He’s asking about the guys
The Bears placed right guard Kyle Long on injured reserve for the second straight season.
The three-time Pro Bowler has been trying to play through a left shoulder injury he suffered in 2016. He aggravated it during Sunday’s loss to the 49ers and sat out the second half.
The Bills placed wide receiver Jordan Matthews and defensive end Shaq Lawson on injured reserve, ending their seasons.
The Green Bay Packers are hoping to stay in the playoff chase long enough to potentially welcome back Aaron Rodgers from a collarbone injury.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers just put two starting offensive linemen on injured reserve and could be without starting running back Doug Martin because of a concussion.
They’re three games under .500 and are a longshot to get into the postseason for the first time since 2007.
A visit to Lambeau Field on Sunday to face the desperate Packers (5-6) does not seem like the ideal time for the last-place Buccaneers (4-7) to bring their injured starting quarterback Jameis Winston back from a shoulder injury.
“Jameis is going to start on Sunday. Any player that is ever back practicing,Authentic Corey Moore Jersey, when have we ever not done that?” Koetter said. “When does a player not come back and (return to being) a starter that week?”
Backup Ryan Fitzpatrick guided the team to a 2-1 record during Winston’s absence. Winston has thrown for least 328 yards four times this season. Mike Evans is one of the league’s top receivers with 51 catches for 702 yards and four touchdowns.
It’s the third-best passing attack in the NFL (264.5 yards).
“Well,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. “But obviously a focal point for us defensively.”,Authentic Stephen Anderson Jersey, big-time weapons. … You just look at the size and athletic ability of their perimeter group
Green Bay is 1-5 since Rodgers got hurt at Minnesota on Oct. 15. His replacement Brett Hundley showed progress during a 31-28 road loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers last week.
But the Packers can’t afford any more defeats if they’re going to make a ninth straight trip to the postseason.
“We dug ourselves into a hole … It’s really must-win at this point,” receiver Davante Adams said.
Rodgers was eligible to start practicing this week if he was cleared medically. Even if that happened, the earliest that Rodgers would be eligible to play would be Week 15 against Carolina.
And if playoff hopes continue to fade ,Authentic Jeff Allen Jersey, the Packers would be in a position similar to the Buccaneers this week in deciding whether to bring back a talented starting quarterback so late in the season.
For now, all the Packers can focus on is beating Tampa Bay. They face another winnable game in Week 14 at Cleveland.
“I don’t have any `relax’ one-liners or `run the table’ or whatever. I’ll leave that up to Aaron,Authentic Andre Hal Jersey,” linebacker Clay Matthews said.
“But we have to win these next two and when Aaron’s back at the helm, we have a pretty good squad. That’s the reality of it.
Winston’s return from a three-game absence coincides with the season-ending knee injuries to center Ali Marpet and right tackle Demar Dotson. They were both placed on injured reserve this week.
But Koetter said there is no greater risk for Winston to damage his shoulder than before his initial injury, so he will play.
“The player’s health is always the No. 1 thing for every football team,” Koetter said. “But if a player is at no more risk than whatever the normal risk is, then they’re going to play. That’s what they’re paid to do.”, and in the NFL that is substantial
Hundley bounced back from a four-turnover outing two weeks ago against the Baltimore Ravens by throwing for 245 yards and a career-best three touchdown passes last week at Pittsburgh.
There is still plenty of improvement needed, and Hundley was sacked four times in the second half. But the Steelers game was a valuable learning experience in a nationally televised game played in a hostile road environment.
“It comes with me being able to see (plays develop) better and the timing with the receivers, timing and getting the rhythm of all of it.”,” Hundley said. “It comes with experience
The Bucs haven’t made the playoffs since 2007, however they entered this season with heightened expectations after finishing 9-7 last season. Koetter rejects the notion that appearing on HBO’s “Hard Knocks” series during the preseason created additional pressure that’s had an adverse impact on the team.
“I say all the time, no one has higher expectations for us than we have for ourselves,” Koetter said., so I don’t think anybody from the outside could create expectations
The game features two of the league’s less effective pass defenses, with the Packers ranking 25th (244.1 yards per game) and the Buccaneers allowing an NFL-high 284.6 yards per game through the air.
Green Bay does hope to get Matthews back from a groin injury to give the pass rush a kick-start after just one sack against Pittsburgh.
