Author: Jon Hinkle

My name is Jon Hinkle, also know as Deez Bucz to most Buccaneers fans. I have been given the opportunity by WhatTheBuc.net to do some writing about one of my favorite subjects...Buccaneer football and all that goes with it. This is my first public writing gig, so I'm hoping that I can entertain the fine fans of Tampa Bay while learning and gaining experience towards a possible new career in sports reporting. I hope everyone enjoys the fruits of my labor and I look forward to bringing some new and exciting stories to Bucs Nation! And as always.....GO BUCS!!!

Deez Playaz 2 Watch: Week 9- Carolina Panthers

November 4, 2018 Jon Hinkle Features, Game Preview, Gameday Zoom, Position Analysis, Preview

Another week down and another Buccaneers loss. The Bengals jumped out to a 27-9 halftime lead after two first half interceptions by Jameis Winston. Things got even worse after halftime when he threw two more interceptions in the third quarter, one for a pick six, and suddenly the Bucs found themselves down 34-16 going into …Read More

You Winston, You Lose Some! Where does this team go from here???

October 29, 2018 Jon Hinkle Features, Position Analysis

Let me preface this article by saying that I have ALWAYS been a Jameis Winston fan. I have been on board the “Jameis Train”  since Tampa Bay drafted him #1 overall in the 2015 Draft. I’ve been defending him all year concerning that bogus Uber incident. I’ve been convinced that he is a franchise quarterback and …Read More

To Kick or Not to Kick? “Cat” is the question!

October 27, 2018 Jon Hinkle Features, Position Analysis

Bucs kicker Chandler Catanzaro literally went from zero to hero last week against the Cleveland Browns. After missing the extra point on their first touchdown of the game, his third missed extra point of this season, he also missed a 40-yard field goal in the closing seconds of regulation that would’ve won the game. He …Read More

Deez Playaz 2 Watch: Week 8- Cincinnati Bengals

October 26, 2018 Jon Hinkle Features, Game Preview, Gameday Zoom, Position Analysis, Preview

So Week 7 is in the books and the Buccaneers were able to beat the Cleveland Browns with a 59-yard field goal with about two-minutes left in overtime to get to an even 3-3 record on the season. My “Playaz 2 Watch”  from that game were running back Duke Johnson on offense and defensive end …Read More

Duffner’s Defensive Dilemma, how does he turn around this Buccaneers defense?

October 20, 2018 Jon Hinkle Features, Gameday Zoom, Position Analysis

Well, Mike Smith is finally gone and linebackers coach Mark Duffner (aka “Coach Duff”) is the new Buccaneers defensive coordinator. Now the question is, what can he do to turn things around? To answer that question, first you have to identify what’s been going wrong and what the defense is not doing right or not …Read More

Deez Playaz 2 Watch: Week 7- Cleveland Browns

October 20, 2018 Jon Hinkle Features, Gameday Zoom, Position Analysis, Preview

Well, the Bucs let what I considered a “must win game”  at this point get away from them in the first half and it was too much for them to overcome even though they almost pulled off an improbable play in the final seconds of the game to win it. They ended up losing to …Read More

Mike Smith, YOU’RE FIRED! Mark Duffner, YOU’RE HIRED!

October 16, 2018 Jon Hinkle Breaking News, Features, Position Analysis

It was inevitable. It probably should’ve happened during the bye week, but it didn’t. The fans have been calling for it since that embarrassing Week 4 loss to the Chicago Bears. The hashtag has been burning up Bucs fans social media for the last two weeks. And the Bucs organization finally answered their calls. Mike …Read More

Deez Playaz 2 Watch: Week 6- Atlanta Falcons

October 12, 2018 Jon Hinkle Features, Game Preview, Gameday, Gameday Zoom, Position Analysis

Well, as much as I’d like to put that dreadful Bears game behind us and move on, I haven’t quite been able to do it. Unfortunately, I was dead on with my “Playaz 2 Watch”  for that game in defensive end Khalil Mack and running back Tarik Cohen. Mack had 4 tackles, 1 tackle for …Read More

So how bad is Mike Smith’s defense? Pretty freakin bad!

October 2, 2018 Jon Hinkle Features, Position Analysis

I’m not even sure what to say after what I witnessed on Sunday. That was one of the most embarrassing and frustrating Buccaneers games that I’ve ever watched. As I sit here staring at my keyboard trying to figure out how to write this article without using an insane amount of profanity, I can’t help …Read More

Deez Playaz 2 Watch: Week 4- Chicago Bears

September 29, 2018 Jon Hinkle Features, Game Preview, Gameday Zoom, Position Analysis, Preview

Well, my picks for the Steelers game last week were tight end Jesse James and outside linebacker TJ Watt, Neither of them had much of an impact on the game. Offensively I got the position correct, but the player wrong as the “Conte Killer”  Vance McDonald finished with 4 catches for 112 yards and 1 …Read More
