Wants a strong RB room.
Kay Adams is looking right at you, Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht.
There are whispers floating around NFL circles that the Bucs could swap out running back Rachaad White since last year Bucky Irving established himself as the Bucs’ go-to back. And, White’s in a contract year.
Adams doesn’t want to see White get shipped out from the Bucs. And Bucky calmed her nerves, claiming that’s not going to happen.
Bucky appeared this month on Adams’ weekday show, “Up and Adams,” seen weekdays on FanDuel TV. Bucky not only said White isn’t going anywhere, but that keeping him maintains a strong running back room for the Bucs.
“Man, I feel like he’s good where he at, man,” Bucky said of White’s job stability with the Bucs. “It’s a great one-two punch we got.
“We’ve got a lot of great running backs in our room that could go anywhere and be starters.”
And Bucky made it clear, he wants a loaded running back room and isn’t worried about touches. He thinks he and White and Sean Tucker will get plenty of chances to do something with the rock.
“I had three good running backs in Oregon, and we always used to rotate, and we pretty much, just going to the game, and like whenever your opportunity [comes] you just got to go out there and compete,” Bucky said. “It’s not, ‘Oh, he starts’ or ‘He starts.’ It’s not like that.
“You have to go out there and compete with your brother.”
Joe loves this attitude. Look, if Bucky was just remotely selfish, he’d probably be a bit jealous or suspicious of White (and Tucker) and wouldn’t want those guys to be around, possibly chipping away at his touches and yards and touchdowns.
Instead, Bucky welcomes them and wants a lot of good backs, knowing they will both keep him fresh and help the Bucs win games.
That’s a team guy, right there.
