Sean Tucker: Buccaneers

[sufandu]

They were losing the entire game. And we’re trying to get Evans his incentive. He had a big first down pickup in 4th quarter

They were also trying to get Evans a record on that last drive.

Sean is actually their leading RB in terms of average yards per carry.

Bucky Irving is an excellent back and it remains to be seen if Sean could maintain his average with a heavier workload.

All in all, I hope Sean stays with them for now and I hope they increase his workload next season.

 

[OrangeAl]

He's in year 2 of a 3 year contract, isn't he?

 

[bothsocksup]

Sean has definitely made himself some money and hasn’t taken a beating. He’d be a good pickup for a new squad at some point

Sure, but he's produced well enough to warrant a #2 spot on a roster somewhere.

Has he? Has his performance actually differentiated him that much? I'm not sure he's escaped "another guy on the roster" territory.

NFL players are eligible for Retirement after four seasons. He just needs to stick around a couple of more seasons.

Players draw their retirement at age 50.

He has the highest per carry average and yards per catch average of the three RBs on the team and averaged over 27 yards per kick return. I think that warrants gauging interest.

Yeah, I was asking because I genuinely don't know. We have a connection to him and follow him as Cuse fans. Just not sure if he's considered an under the radar gem in NFL circles or anything. Maybe those numbers do pop to front offices?

 

[djcon57]

One thing to note, in a must win game, the Bucs went ALL Bucky Irving with spot carries to Tucker and zero for Rashaad White.

That suggests to me Bucky is the clear #1 next year and White is prob on his way out, def a spot for Tucker to get the 2 spot.

 

[David321]

This is the team that Tuck purposely chose, even though the RB room is stacked. I'll be interested to see what he does after next year.

Gem may be too strong, but this season he looked like he could be a dependable productive back up. I don't know the answer to this, but I wonder how common it is for the third string RB to get 50 carries during a season.

I don't think it was stacked when he chose it. Wasn't this Irving's first year?

 

[Cusefan0307]

If Tucker wants to get on the field on offense he probably has to improve his pass protection. No doubt he's a better runner than White.

 

[David321]

I don't think it was stacked when he chose it. Wasn't this Irving's first year?

True. At the time Rachaad White looked like the only real big competition and they were like last in the league in rushing yards per game the season before.

NFC offensive player of the week once this year as well.

 

[SUfaninAZ]

Plus he’ll be getting playoff monies as well, albeit not crazy money but some nonetheless

 

[djorange1989]

The Bucs have a lot of weapons so it’s a crowded locker room so to speak

 

[qdawgg]

I wish my Bears had tried to trade for him. They needed a dependable everything tough running RB.

 

[SmilinBob]

I wonder if the Bucs might see White (if he is making a loft of $) as too expensive and keep Tucker?

Where was White drafted? He's on his rookie contract.

 

[David321]

 

[sufandu]

Gotta love that smile.

 

[anglerman]

That’s serious production. He should get a much better contract somewhere next year

 

[SmilinBob]

What was his kickoff return average?
