So, rookie Bucs running back sensation Bucky Irving has a toe injury that the team says won’t go away this season.
That means Irving will miss a lot of practice to be ready on game days. Today, playmaker Liam Cohen said it’s a challenge because Irving is a rookie and needs maximum training to build muscle memory and more.
So can Irving be faster in sessions? He can, Cohen says, and the Bucs even added a “Buckey walk” session on the Saturday before the Falcons game.
“It was really Bucky’s walk. So we’re going to have to keep doing that and catch up,” Cohen said.
Yes, Irving is that important to the Bucs offense. It is worthy of a workout dedicated to it. Unless the Bucs defense can wake up, the Bucs will need every explosive play Irving is capable of making the playoffs.
