I said what I said
I didn’t pledge allegiance to the flag at 7am for 18 years, for liberty and justice for all, just to be called radical for wanting liberty and justice for all.

Re: Welcome to Tampa, Emeka Egbuka
I think he might be good at this receiver thing. But we won't know for three or four years apparently.
Re: Welcome to Tampa, Emeka Egbuka
Schiano made him do blow?

Re: Welcome to Tampa, Emeka Egbuka
He is looking like the best player from the last draft at this point. Tyler Warren would be my number two so far. It feels like we got a certified steal and it will be scary for defenses if our wife receivers can all get healthy.

Re: Welcome to Tampa, Emeka Egbuka
with a player like this given what else we have this could be a superbowl season
Re: Welcome to Tampa, Emeka Egbuka
There's an argument to be made that we are a 0-5 team without Egbuka. There's also an argument to be made that when Evans comes back, your CB1 should be on Emeka, not him. Which leads to the third argument; EE is WR1 in Tampa now, and will continue to be so moving forward.
Glad as hell we drafted him.
Glad as hell we drafted him.

Re: Welcome to Tampa, Emeka Egbuka
I hate the thought of this team without Evans and Godwin but the talented, young dudes, led by EE, give me a ton of comfort. At this point, the WR room is set for a long time.

Wife receivers are the best. They truly know how to use their hands

Re: Welcome to Tampa, Emeka Egbuka
Subtle improvements like that will go a long way in his development. Don't think he's separated from a DB like that all season long.
Most hated man in America.
Re: Welcome to Tampa, Emeka Egbuka
in all fairness, it was zone coverage.. separation typically pertains to man coverage

Re: Welcome to Tampa, Emeka Egbuka
False.
He's had trouble finding space against zone as well. Separation doesnt typically pertain to just man coverage either. Not sure where you learned that.

Re: Welcome to Tampa, Emeka Egbuka
just say you misread the coverage.
"great separation against cover 3".. not a thing

For everyone that said he can’t separate they’re simply wrong.

Re: Welcome to Tampa, Emeka Egbuka
There's a ton of Fantasy Football spreadsheet guys who have been saying it about Egbuka for a while dating back to his college days. Not sure if that's where Bootz gets it from or not.Grahamburn wrote: ↑Mon Oct 06, 2025 3:37 pmThere's only one person saying this.Primeminister wrote: ↑Mon Oct 06, 2025 2:43 pm For everyone that said he can’t separate they’re simply wrong.
Re: Welcome to Tampa, Emeka Egbuka
Separation in the NFL is like anywhere from a 1/2 yard and up.

Re: Welcome to Tampa, Emeka Egbuka
Wrong, kiddo. There's actual data as well as game film that says it as well. It was also a criticism of him during the draft process. You should really stop and fact check before you willingly prove to everyone how fucking stupid you are.Grahamburn wrote: ↑Mon Oct 06, 2025 3:37 pmThere's only one person saying this.Primeminister wrote: ↑Mon Oct 06, 2025 2:43 pm For everyone that said he can’t separate they’re simply wrong.

And you say I act like I know everything. Seems that would be you.Weaknesses
Jostled by redirection and physical coverage underneath.
Speed appears average in the drive phase of the route.
Struggles to drop weight and open quickly on comebacks.
Average quickness and separation in and out of breaks.
Takes time to find acceleration after slowing feet inside the route or on receiver screens.

Never said that about you actually, nor claimed that about myself.
And 'average' doesn't mean 'none' or not good at it, simply means 'average'. Scouting report would read 'below average' if they didn't think he could separate very much or at at all, like this one:
https://www.nfl.com/prospects/ke-shawn- ... 2f6d6e52e9
Or this one:
https://www.nfl.com/prospects/josh-kell ... 52a962ef56
Or just something like this poor kid:

Re: Welcome to Tampa, Emeka Egbuka
You don’t watch game film, Eeyore.
Re: Welcome to Tampa, Emeka Egbuka
EE has made a few contested catches, but it’s kinda crazy how wide open he often is. He’s really adept at finding openings in zones and has chemistry with Baker. If the league will keep giving it to him, he will keep taking it.
