dirk koetter likes his efficiency when he is out of the pocket. , he is doing a good job. i is seeing the field when to throw and and when he does. >> and that's the biggest issue outside of the pocket we wanted him to take less hits. >> and getting ready for the game. >> and that is 11 years old. >> a bad sequence of calls here the final play of the half. first richard sherman jumps off sides. runs into the kicker. flagged for being off sides but not for unnecessary roughness. when they went to kick it again. a delay of game was >> the head said that the crew did not make the correct call. >> it is ridiculous. he is -- he is over on the sideline taunting us. i had some words. i said are you too good of a player to act like a (bleep). that's what i said. >> it was not dirty. you go for a block. even if they said i was off sides. >> free agency starts today. and among the rays becoming free agents. they believe that jep sen will be along the players that the rays would like to retain t. >>> we kiermaier wins gold gloves. and area finalists. kevin pillar. and the announcemen

dirk koetter did not want to disclose how much he will use martin. it may take time. he has not played since the injury took place during tweak two of the season. and 8 games to go. the second half of the season and against the bears remaining teams on the schedule. and that makes this one a must win. >> and the bucs open the second half facing a 2 win opponent in the bears that they just have to beat. >> we have not won a game. >> and adding to the pressure is at home where they have not won are trying not to think about it to turn it around starts with winning at home, we have to get on track at home. we struggled this year. you know going back to a couple of years ago we have a tougher time winning at home. we feel this is an opportunity for us; we have not won a game at home and three losses in a row. and we're 3 of 5. we don't want to they carried them into playoff position. they are following a similar path starting with protecting the football. he has thrown one interception and continues to find ways of getting mike evans the ball. >> that's a job. >> he is a

>>walter: and derek koetter would have been common sense for him to throw the ball away before it even got close to the goal line. it went good. >>dave: and talking about the defense, they were channelling the 85 bears yesterday. my goodness gracious. six, 20 yarder bringing that back. that just set the tone. >>walter: it really did. >>dave: they have four turnovers. two picks, four tumbles, four sacks. and then this ridiculous safety. i didn't know what was going on. okay. so there was a safety. it was just they were pressuring and pressuring and pressuring jay cutler all day long. and i think as you that goes well. you have to go to kansas city next week. they're tough to play at home and you're bringing in the confidence and the defense that you just shredded chicago and i think it's fantastic. >>walter: when you as a defense generate eight points, you're doing things the right way for sure. the right way, bring it back. doug martin. now we have a two dimensional offense again. doug martin didn't have like a stellar day. 16 carries, 33 yards but here, you get him into the end zone i

dirk koetter sees some parallels. >> if you to back and look at matt's first two years in the league. they leaned heavy, heavy on the run game. they won a lot of games. as time went on, you know they shoulders. we put0 lot on his shoulders they're continuing to put a lot on him. >> the bucs parted ways with jonathan banks trading him to detroit for a 7th round selection. banks was asked why it didn't work out here. he said the coaching turn over was a reason. >> i respect them they have a fine organization butit coach, they try to mold and twist you on this play and that play. you lose the fire for the game. it is frustrating but i'm policed to be back here. >> wish him the best of luck in motown. and motor city the model t rolled out a month before the cubs last won the world series. t. >> what if we see in cleveland. what prices, you have heard? >> they're big. >> ratings alone may be the most watched world series in 20 years. >> for the talk of football ratings and baseball is coming up as you get a matchup like this. i asked cynthia and linda earlier. they had cubs, i maddon. >> h

it's one i asked dirk koetter about. >> yeah, i think it's tough on any player, especially a running back that's been out that long to come back and be the same old doug martin as you say. i think we're asking too much. we knew we were going to go running back by committee. i think it was an emotional lift to get him out there. but all three tail backs played around 20 plays each. >> and thanks night's implosion of the top the teams in college football, tonight's rankings should lead to debate. three of the top four team last week lost on saturday. i was home watching football. and -- >> couldn't believe it. >> michigan lost to the iowa on a field goal, i was like this is the whackiest weekend in a longtime -- the waciest weekend in a -- the weirdest weekend in a longtime. one of the three team, clemson, michigan, washington, and i would say probably clemson, will stay in the top four. >> the rest -- >> someone will stay in out of those -- >> but alabama will remain number one. >> alabama is here and everybody else is -- >> scraps. >> yeah, down there. >> alabama is happy. z25egz z16

derek koetter talking about 60,000 people, most of them cheering for the buccaneers. team sent them home happy with a win over the seattle seahawks. one of the better teams in the nfl. charley belcher, one of the fans very happy, myself included. charley belcher, huge -- what did you think? >>charley: i was travelling yesterday so i missed the first half of the game but as i'm to change plans in houston and i saw 14-5 in the first quarter. and i couldn't believe it. now, i could believe -- look. this offens is good. jameis winston is the real deal and mike evans is obviously the real deal. the problem with the bucs, they've been notoriously slow starters so seeing 14 points right out of the gate, i was elated because that's what they have to do to they have to start strong. >>walter: that's what i was thinking. i was doing the exact same thing. i was doing odds and ends work around the house. i turn it on to have it in the background and they say, oh, it's the second touchdown pass. what? second? like you said, jameis winston was so slow out of the gate even at florid

derek koetter is disappointed in evans' decision but called it a personal matter. >> i hope it doesn't affect our team and that's something that i'll take whatever measure is necessary that i think are necessary to try to minimize what effect it has on team. >>russell: some are threatening to boycott the bucs. on facebook the state representative said that he won't step into raymond james into he apologized or is kicked off the team. >>laura: a passenger was upset by a flight attendant's pin on her uniform that said black lives matter. a man snapped a photo. the flight attendant insisted it violated airline rules and then she interrupted her safety demonstration so the pilot could bring the plane back to the gate. he managed to recover the picture and share it with fox 13. >> no company should allow that to happen unless they're willing to accept the consequences for that happening. if you have something offensive on your uniform, you're going to >>laura: spirit has released this state many. it says while employees have a wide range of personal views, the expression of those views shou

before turning his attention to the falcons, dirk koetter takes against the ravens. >> we gave up a ton of passing yards. is that good? no, that's not. we got -- we let them throw one over our head to cooper, through another one over our head. we can't do that. we had a long p.i. penalty that might have been another touchdown had we not got the penalty. we can say we played terrible or played okay, and we can say we played good. didn't. >> they had a lot of chances. there's no question that joe madden is a man with a big heart. even in the middle of the biggest series in over a century in chicago's history, maddon told his players to trick-or-treat with families and gave them until 8:00 tonight to get on the plane for cleveland. yeah, he told his cubbies costumes are encouraged on the plane. he was the first one in costume when they got there. the cubs would love to trade candy in for runs. they've five games. the three runs in game five got by cleveland sending the series back to cleveland. the cubs face josh tomlin for a second time in the series. they only got two hits off him, and t

he ever ans has eight touchdowns derek koetter has seen a lot of maturity from his star wide receiver. >> mike has really got his temper under control. mike is really locked in to what he needs to do, whether it's a penalty called on him or a penalty he thinks should have been called on them or jameis overthrows him or mike going over the middle. mike has really learned to move on and play the next play. and you can see it in how he's running his routes. he's think that's mike's biggest area of improvement. and for as good of a game as he had, i'm sure mike will be the first to admit that he probably should have had a couple more. >>dave: the bucs play a third straight game at home this sunday against the bears. then they travel to kansas city to play the chiefs the week after that. then back home against the seahawks. bucs will fly across country for a game in san diego the first of two games against the saints. it should come as no surprise that dale earnhardt, junior has a lead foot. he was on his way to the texas motor speedway sunday morning when an officer pulled him over. his f
