Forum: Talk Bucs

The Bucs still list Anthony Becht as their first-string tight end, but Becht has two players pushing him, and one of them could move past him in this camp. The challenger that Bucs fans recognize most, of course, is Alex Smith. Smith falls a grade short of being in the class of players such as Antonio Gates, Alge Crumpler and Todd Heap, but he’s a good one nonetheless and he’s getting better. The Bucs have designed a lot of plays specifically for him, so this is a camp in which he will get a lot of attention. The other challenger is Jerramy Stevens. Assuming he can stay out of trouble off the field, Stevens has the ability to earn a lot of playing time, perhaps even start. He’s got great size and skill and if he can keep his focus he could prove to be the best of the bunch here. The Bucs, of course, use a lot of two- and sometimes three-tight end schemes, so all three players will get significant opportunity. Still, the guy who starts will get the most opportunities so there will be a battle for supremacy.
