All aTwitter: 20 August 2021

Just to be clear, because everyone keeps asking, we are down to and working through a final three but this is no form of final 8 list. These are just a selection of names that happened to show up in the video our team produced. https://t.co/IzeMAE64EO

Jason Wright confirms that while WFT is down to 3 names they weren't derived from this list of 8.

Sidebar - This all can't end soon enough. The team taking its time, while long, is fine and the process. The constant and false speculation/aggregation though... https://t.co/inrfk3DU5y

With @jacsw3: You'll learn a lot about him away from football. Light topics: golf, BBQ and some deeper: the educational books he reads... and, bigger, why he chose to get involved w/Domestic assault victims. Also: @Sam4TR and I discuss WJ III, WRs, more https://t.co/y7vzfQM50N

.@Sam4TR and I covered this on the podcast. But I mention St. Juste too because a lot of the talk was with William Jackson III. Rightly so. But BSJ was drafted to also help diversify coverage. Length; can play press.

Episode 126 - Deep dive on William Jackson III & the issue of zone vs. man. @RiverboatRonHC was excellent in explaining this & why #WFT signed WJ3.

Good read here. @whoisjwright also told us the marching band won't be at the stadium this year but will be back as part of the re-brand and new rituals next year. https://t.co/KE59jMwzyK

Jason Wright (on Grant and Danny):

On re-brand and re-naming, we are very open with the fans; as we should be.

On new potential stadium/venue - done behind closed doors. Buttoned-up process.

You should hear NOTHING, ZILCH before it's done.

Jason Wright (on Grant and Danny):

#1 complaint for fans - PARKING

Re-striped the entire lot. Undated process so passes can be purchased completely mobile. Retrained parking staff...worked with police, etc...

Being a reliable punt returner would greatly increase Milne's chances of making the final roster. Had 2 reps as a returner vs the Pats. 1 punt sailed out of bounds, this was a 19-yard return on the other rep. pic.twitter.com/zSvXRQNijk

Liked the detail in this route by rookie WR Dax Milne. Working from the slot, runs an over route. Breaks inside initially but makes sure to get vertical before he breaks back across the middle to create separation. Ball thrown elsewhere, but nice route. pic.twitter.com/ORsY2j5Xr3

Want to see a little more power from Charles at times. Climbs nicely to the second level here, but allows the LB to pop him up and shed the block to make the tackle. No reason Charles couldn't latch on and drive him backwards. pic.twitter.com/eyGN2O4hDY

— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) August 19, 2021

Did like this rep from Charles though. Nice little arm chop on the elbow of the inside arm forces defender off balance. pic.twitter.com/6nH2ortcZO

— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) August 19, 2021

Thought Toney also had one or two nice plays against the run. 1st play here, reads puller, avoids the block to make the tackle. 2nd play, sets the edge and forces cut back inside. pic.twitter.com/043Z530rGE

— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) August 19, 2021

If Toney is gonna rely on his speed to the edge, gotta be able to clear the hands. Otherwise he can get hooked like he does here. pic.twitter.com/sOBpLJ7HM9

Like the end zone replay angle of this clip. McCain has eyes on QB, but once he spots QB looking to his left, he locates route and begins to work over there to get on top of any potential deep ball. pic.twitter.com/IINuZfPP1x

— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) August 19, 2021

Similar play here from McCain. Pats try to hit the over route off play-action. McCain reads it early, drives down on it to take it away and forces the checkdown underneath pic.twitter.com/ABznV2Khsi

Per @NFLSTROUD, #Buccaneers WR Antonio Brown was thrown out of practice a short while ago.

Stroud says Brown was thrown out after a drill with #Titans CB Chris Jackson where he ripped of Jackson's helmet.
