Love to see this! DeSean Jackson speaking from the heart, preaching to his teammates to not get complacent. There’s still work to be done. He is apparently going to take the reigns to ensure that the work is put in and guys aren’t rolling over.
It would be difficult for me to hate Charles Sims' game more. He never just turns up field and runs hard to pick up yardage. He's just always tap dancing around hoping for the kind of big plays holes that don't open up in the #NFL. #Bucs

My sentiments exactly, Pat. I cheer for Sims because he is on the field and in a Buccaneers uniform, but I won’t be the LEAST bit upset to not see him in Bucs uniform after this season. All he does is telegraph what’s coming and dance around like he’s auditioning for a certain reality show on ABC.
I don’t remember how to act after a #Bucs victory. I’ve been running around my couch, high giving my dogs, and crying for 15 minutes. Somebody please help me.

I felt the same way! Granted, I told the rest of the Pewter Plank staff I can’t remember ever being less excited after a win, but I need to see more before I start getting the feels again. This was a step in the right direction, but merely a step. Have to build, develop, and grow off this game. Right now, they’re still a 3-6 football team without their franchise quarterback. Need one heck of a turnaround just to finish at .500.
The #Bucs recorded 42.8% of their total season sacks today in the Jets game alone.

YIKES. That’s all I got on that one…
#Bucs MVP of the day seals the win. More of Chris Godwin, please and thank you.

We talked about him on the podcast and wrote about his opportunity against the Jets. He was even our spotlight player of the game. Chris Godwin did a phenomenal job in his first start and showed that when he gets the opportunity, he can make plays. It’ll be so much nicer when he becomes more involved in the game plan along with Evans and DJax. We knew Godwin was a draft pick for the future, not the present, but that doesn’t make it any less enjoyable when he gets this kind of work load.
What'd the #Bucs do today? pic.twitter.com/1olGvSHAAg

What can I say? I’m a funny guy. Look, that was BY FAR Winston’s worst pregame speech and anyone who could took a shot at it. Look at it this way – if you don’t embrace it, it will drive you insane. Might as well have fun with it rather than get made at everyone who makes fun of you, your team, or your quarterback because of one pregame speech that fell flatter than Tom Brady‘s balls.
