“*Hey Glazers, I will bet you a box full of T-shirts from loser college teams that Todd Bowles has Desmond Watson dropping back in coverage. Jiminy Christmas!*“
What a classic line by Chucky.
The first coach to lead the Bucs to a Super Bowl win, Chucky has been getting all kinds of run since he joined forces with Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports fame.
Joe’s willing to bet almost as many people know Chucky from his Barstool Sports videos of unboxing goodies sent to him by teams of all sports, mostly college football teams, as they do of him winning a Super Bowl for the Bucs.
That Super Bowl win was over 20 years ago. There are folks out there with children in grade school who have only faint, foggy memories of that great evening in Bucs history.
Take Big Gator, Bucs rookie UDFA defensive tackle Desmond Watson. His birthdate is unknown but he was born in 2003 per the Bucs. So if he was born before that Super Bowl (played on Jan. 26, 2003), he clearly doesn’t remember it.
So why does Joe bring Watson and Chucky up?
Chucky and Watson crossed paths a couple of weeks ago. It appeared to be backstage at an autograph signing or convention. In the background of the Barstool Sports TikTok video, Joe noticed a stack of T-shirts or jerseys. You can hear a buzz from a crowd of people.
Along with Chucky and Watson, there is a mob of people all with their phone cameras out.
Of course, Chucky knows about Watson and starts asking him about the Bucs. Chucky asked Watson if he’s going to take the field at some point with Vita Vea.
“We put you and Vita Vea out there together, that ain’t fair.
“Yeah, that’s the plan!”
And then Chucky hit Watson, who the Bucs have listed at 6-5, 449, with the one-liner of one-liners.
“Todd Bowles, does he got you standing up, playing linebacker?”
LOL!!! Boom!
Watson denied he’s practicing dropping back into pass coverage but Chucky shot back, “I saw him put Vita Vea standing up.”
To be fair to Vea, once Bowles had him drop back it nearly saved the Bucs. In the 26-24 loss to the Cowboys last year, the Bucs were trying to rally back and win the game late. Bowles dropped Vea in coverage on third down and Joe howled in disgust. But Bowles was right.
Cooper Rush (!) threw short to the left for Jake Ferguson, and Vea stopped him two yards short of the sticks, forcing a punt with just under two minutes left.
Unfortunately, on the first play of the ensuing drive, Rachaad White fumbled a reception and that was all she wrote.
So either Chucky reads the comments on JoeBucsFan.com or even Chucky is fed up with Bowles dropping pass rushers into coverage so much.
What a one-liner by Chucky!
“*C’mon Todd, Desmon Watson could be the next James Harrison. Let him cover a tight end!*“
