Mr Neil 63 Posted October 17, 2016 Bucs just signed him. He can break off huge runs and it seems to me Doug Martin isn't doing as well as thought with that hammy since they signed him. Used to play for ATL with Koetter. He could get all the early work bc they don't have much anything else aside from Quizz. Worth an add? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dashow28 6 Posted October 17, 2016 Wouldn't Quizz still be the biggest benefactor at this point? The dude had 35 touches last week. I'd assume he's still the starter. If people didn't pick him up, is he #1 waiver add this week? Depending on Martin's status of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

handbanana 47 Posted October 17, 2016 I read somewhere that A Smith was signed to be the starter. That's so weird to me. Rodgers is on the team, played reasonably well and knows the playbook but you are gonna sign someone off the street to start? Â This certainly makes it difficult to envision using any sort of waiver priority on Rodgers... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skinny_Bastard 154 Posted October 17, 2016 Martin is done for next 2-4 weeks. You don't sign a 2nd guy off the street for the hell of it. It's Jacuzzi's show now until further notice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weepaws 2,452 Posted October 17, 2016 J Rodgers can't handle the starting job until futher notice. Â He had a lot of touches in his last game. Â He's not built to keep doing so. Â Makes since if they sign someone . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the spanker 28 Posted October 17, 2016 Agree Rodgers won't last very long as a in-between the tackles runner, he's really just a COP special teams type RB. Â IRRC, Smith was very productive in Atlanta with the limited touches he got, and the dude can catch the rock. Â I'll have to do some research on him. Bucs have a good RB schedule and I'm willing to pick this guy up if Martin misses time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zac3434 5 Posted October 17, 2016 They cut a rb to make room for him. But clearly this has to do with Quizz and Martin? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the spanker 28 Posted October 17, 2016 Bucs signed RB Antone Smith. Smith played for coach Dirk Koetter in Atlanta before spending five games with the Bears last season.

the spanker 28 Posted October 17, 2016 If Smith is so good why is he being picked up off the street? Â Same reason Tim Hightower was? Â Maybe he just needs an opportunity to make an impact.

handbanana 47 Posted October 18, 2016 In guess my point is, if this guy is so special and a Koetter favorite, why wasn't he on this team from Jump Street? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the spanker 28 Posted October 18, 2016 In guess my point is, if this guy is so special and a Koetter favorite, why wasn't he on this team from Jump Street? Â Why wasn't Hightower in the NFL before last season? Stuff happens. Â Anyway..... Â Bucs head coach Dirk Koetter said that because today was an extra practice day, any players on the fringe still dealing with injuries were held out. That means it's still possible that we could still see Doug Martin or Robert Ayers back practicing. Jenna Laine, ESPN Staff Writer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still, there will not be reason for serious worry unless he sits out Wednesday's session as well. Martin will be a locked-in RB1 if he suits up against the 49ers.
