thaisiambet Bowles doesn’t support the idea of ​​using Irving over White

thaisiambet Bucky Irving has been so impressive that there has been a backlash for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back to carry the ball more than veteran Rashad White.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles isn’t a fan of the idea of ​​giving rookie fourth-round draft pick Bucky Irving more of the running back load than Rashad White, even though the rookie has been impressive through the first three games of the season, NFL Network reports.  thaisiambet

Over the past three weeks, Irving has led the Buccaneers in rushing with 154 yards and is the only rookie with more than 100 yards rushing in the 2024 season, while he is averaging 6.2 yards per carry, which ranks in the top four. White is averaging just 2.1 yards on 31 carries for 66 yards. 

“In terms of the running game going forward, everybody’s got to do their job, the coaches, the players, the wide receivers, the inside receivers, the offensive line, the running backs,” Bowles said. “At the same time, we need to have Bucky and Rashad all year long. Bucky’s got a running game that works and Rashad’s got a running game that works. That doesn’t mean he’s better. That doesn’t mean we can’t open up (spaces) when we have Rashad there.”

‘We’re going to use both of them all year round. Their play style and volume will change every game, so it won’t be any different.’ ( thaisiambet )
