All-22 look at Charlie Heck and Cade Otton blowing open a hole for Rachaad White on the game-winning score.
Backup Bucs right tackle Charlie Heck was overmatched in pass protection at right tackle last night and abused even more on social media.
Yeah, he entered the game after a Luke Goedeke injury and was facing a stud Texans edge rusher, but man, Joe saw [what Rondé Barber was talking about](https://www.joebucsfan.com/2025/09/ronde-barber-blasts-charlie-heck-says-bucs-tackle-change-was-in-the-works-for-1-1-2-months/). Heck’s a dangerous man, in a bad, bad way.
But as expected, Heck was a capable run blocker. And who did playcaller Josh Grizzard call upon for the biggest play of the game? Heck. The handoff for Rachaad White to beat the Texans was designed for White to run between Cade Otton as Heck came off his right tackle spot inside to hold off defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins at the point of attack. You can see it above in the All-22 look above (Heck to the right of White and Otton to the left).
Joe is still praying starting right tackle Goedeke’s foot magically heals in a hurry, but Heck sure wasn’t all bad. He was a big part of a punishing Bucs run game against a strong defense. That’s something.
