Seven Months After Tom Brady’s Exit, 25 Year-Old ILB Remains Bullish About Buccaneers Playoff Hopes

The Buccaneers are trying to show they can win even without Tom Brady, who retired this year. They now have a young leader in Devin White, a passionate player. Despite a recent loss to the Eagles, 25 YO White believes the Bucs will make it to the playoffs this season. He trusts their defense to carry them, and he’s confident they can reach the Super Bowl.

On the other hand, Mike Evans took responsibility for dropping a crucial touchdown pass in their Week 3 loss. He admitted it got difficult to see the ball, but he knows he should have caught it. Despite his later touchdown, he felt he let his team down.

Devin White makes bold prediction: Buccaneers to the playoffs

The 2-1 Buccaneers are licking their wounds after a disappointing 25-11 loss to the unbeaten Eagles on Monday Night Football. The scoreboard might suggest a tough road ahead, but inside linebacker Devin White has a different outlook.

In a post-game interview, White made a bold proclamation: Bucs are going to the playoffs this season. “I wanted to beat them so bad,” Devin White expressed, referring to the Eagles. “We’ll see them again. We’re in the same division. We’re going to the playoffs, and I’m saying that right now. It is what it is.”

White’s confidence stems from the Buccaneers’ defense too. “We got a great defense,” he stated emphatically. “We go out there and we fight [for every yard].”

The Buccaneers are on a mission to prove their mettle and show the world what they are truly capable of achieving. “I just know this defense can carry us to the Super Bowl,” Devin White affirmed.

Mike Evans owns up to a fumbled touchdown

Bucs star Mike Evans doesn’t point fingers for his fumbled touchdown pass in the team’s recent Week 3 loss. The scoreboard tells a grim story, with a final score of 25-11. But Evans’ personal accountability puts them on the front foot.

“[Brown] got a hand on it, but I’ve got to catch that,” confesses Mike Evans regarding the dropped touchdown pass. He admits that it momentarily disappeared in the blinding stadium lights, only reappearing at the last second. The defender managed to recover and disrupt the play, but as Evans puts it, “I’m pretty much open. I have to catch that.”

Evans’ struggles haunted him in the first half, where he dropped not one, not two, but three critical passes, including that elusive touchdown that could have turned the tide in favor of the Bucs. But it’s his willingness to shoulder the blame that truly stands out, demonstrating a player’s commitment to his team, even in defeat.

Nevertheless, a question for fans – Can Devin White’s bold prediction become the rallying cry that propels them into the playoffs?
