Bucs Rival Roddy White: 'Too Many White Dudes' in Clemson vs. Georgia: Tracker

SEPT 1 TOO MANY Roddy White, the former foe of the Bucs as a long-time member of the Atlanta Falcons, took a controversial public shot at the Clemson Tigers on Saturday afternoon.

No. 13 Clemson opened against No. 1 Georgia, but lost 34-3. And why?

"Clemson got way to (sic) many White dudes on the field on offense this ain’t them. U mean to tell me u only got one Black dude out there making plays that’s a recruiting problem," White wrote on X.

SEPT 1 JAYDEN SCOUTS BUCS The Washington Commanders kick off the season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and they'll do it with a rookie QB who already sounds like a student of the game.

Jayden Daniels, the second-overall pick out of LSU, is the Washington starter. ... and he'll face a Bucs D with some skins on the wall.

Tampa Bay's defense allowed the seventh-fewest points of any team in the NFL last season.

"Avery sound defense," Daniels said of the Bucs. "Todd Bowles (has) ... his track record as a defensive coordinator. Everything speaks for itself. They got a very savvy veteran in LaVonte David that's controlling the defense. He knows what's gonna go on, so we gotta go out there and we just gotta execute.

"They got a very good front and very overall good defense."

SEPT 1 NOT A REBUILD! The Washington Commanders were 4-13 last year, and yet the new boss there - helping the Commanders get ready for the opener against the Bucs - swears this is no rebuild.

Said GM Adam Peters in a recent interview with Grant & Danny on 106.7 The Fan : “It’s not a rebuild; it’s a recalibration. We are trying to win right now. We do have goals to be really good this season.”

The Bucs' plan on Sunday? Slow down their achievement of those goals.

AUG 30 UNIQUE? Commanders assistant general manager Lance Newmark is touting Jayden Daniels and the situation in Washington - which opens the season against the Bucs - as "unique.''

“That's obviously the most important thing that you can have," Newmark said of being able to draft a franchise QB, as the Commanders did in this year's No. 2 slot. "And when you're comfortable there and when you feel like you have the ability to win games with that person, it allows you to really explore every option outside of that."

Is Daniels ready to help the Commanders to win games ... now?

"This is a unique situation where we're going with a young guy and we're very excited about that,'' he said. "The quarterback situation allows you to do so much when you feel comfortable there and when you feel excited about what you're doing.”

"Comfort'' can mean "confidence.'' By the time the Commanders get to Tampa Bay to open their season against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Sept. 8, we begin to see all of it unfold ... for both teams.

Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m. EDT.

AUG 9 PANTHERS RUN OFF RUNWAY The NFL preseason is starting, which means that teams are going to be traveling. However, the Carolina Panthers had a bit of an issue with their most recent flight.

According to WCNC , the Panthers' Delta flight ran off the runway moments after touching down in Charlotte. The team was coming back from playing against the New England Patriots in the preseason.

Thankfully, nobody was hurt, and everyone was able to safely exit the plane and go about their business. That is obviously not how you want a flight to end, but thankfully nobody was injured.

AUG 8 MOORE OUT FOR YEAR Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Rondale Moore was carted off the field with an air cast around his right leg yesterday, ending the team's practice prematurely.

Now, per a report by NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport , the young receiver will be out for the entire season due to the knee injury.

The 24-year-old Moore was looking to breakout this season with a new quarterback and a new system, but hopefully he will be able to return next year and get that chance.

AUG 7 RONDALE CARTED OFF The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' rival Atlanta Falcons acquired wide receiver Rondale Moore in a trade that sent quarterback Desmond Ridder to the Arizona Cardinals. But now, it is not looking great that the Falcons will get to use Moore this season.

Per a report by ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques , the Falcons receiver was carted off the field at practice today with an air cast on his right leg. He also reports that practice was called early, as nobody wanted to keep playing after seeing the injury.

The Falcons still have a number of weapons that they will utilize this season, but seeing someone go down with this bad of an injury always hurts. There has been no further news on Moore's condition or the specifics of his injury.

AUG 7 SIMMONS VISITS NOLA Veteran free safety Justin Simmons is one of, if not the best remaining free agent in the NFL, and he is now visiting with a Tampa Bay Buccaneers' division rival.

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport confirmed a report that Simmons is visiting with the New Orleans Saints today, and that he could eventually sign with the team.

Saints defensive coordinator Joe Woods was with the Denver Broncos when they drafted Simmons back in 2016, as he was his defensive backs coach. If New Orleans was to sign Simmons and bolster their secondary even more, the Bucs would have a new defensive juggernaut to worry about in the NFC South.

AUG 6 HANGIN' Bucs and Patriots legend Tom Brady is hanging out with LeBron James and some of the fellas from the USA Basketball men's team as they preparing to begin the medal round on Tuesday.

Brady posted on his Instagram story of himself and his daughter with LeBron, adding the message "WE GOT YOUR BACK!!!" along with an American flag emoji.

Brady, who in retirement is about to be the No. 1 NFL analyst on FOX, has also taken in other Olympic events, including another GOAT on GOAT move in his observation of gymnastics star Simone Biles.
