With their hire of Bruce Arians Cheap Jameis Winston Jersey , the Buccaneers have gotten a lot of buzz in the last month. Bay’s fan base, even if there are still holes on the roster to fill in the coming months. It’s been an exciting time for the franchise, but the hype around Arians might not be enough for everyone to overlook the team’s other issues.On Monday, ESPN.com’s Bill Barnwell projected Vegas win totals for each NFL team in 2019. For the Bucs, he set the over/under at 6.5. He addressed the team’s 3-6 record in one-possession games last year, but did note that Arians had a record of 29-12-1 in such games during his time with the Colts and Cardinals. But here’s where Barnwell has concerns about Tampa Bay in 2019: There are a few things to unpack there. Starting with the Jameis Winston point, I’m not sure “unreliable” is the right word to describe him. Inconsistent? Sure. There have been plenty of inconsistencies in his game, but he took significant steps forward down the stretch of last season. Heading into 2019 with Arians as his coach Ryan Fitzpatrick Jersey , Winston should be in a good position to succeed. As far as being “unreliable” off the field? It seems that his issues are behind him. Remember, the incident that caused his three-game suspension this past season happened in 2016. He is now a father and has often stated that he needs to be an example for his son. Overall, Winston feels out of place in terms of the rest of Barnwell’s concerns.The defense is a legitimate concern, even with the addition of new defensive coordinator Todd Bowles. The front seven has the potential to be pretty solid, but there is a ton of work to be done in the secondary. Brent Grimes is gone and Vernon Hargreaves III might need to work exclusively in the slot, so Tampa Bay has to fill that other outside corner position. The unit could also use help at safety. The defense is a problem right now, and yes, the rest of the NFC South might be positioned better for postseason runs in 2019. Specifically Cheap Carlton Davis Jersey , the Saints and Falcons should both be very good next season. It’s fair to say that the defense and the difficulty of the division should be concerning. But with the talent on offense and some new voices in the locker room, the Bucs should be stronger in year one under Arians. Now, it might not necessarily be time to put deposits down on playoff tickets. The team isn’t quite there yet. But with that being said... Hammer the over. Defensive end Akiem Hicks takes pride in being a leader for the Chicago Bears' defense.So an ejection against Tampa Bay on Sept. 30 for making contact with an NFL official during an altercation caused Hicks to reflect, and avoiding suspension left him feeling fortunate.Hicks was fined $33,425, and will be available to play Sunday for the Bears (3-1) against the Miami Dolphins (3-2)."This was the first time I've been ejected from a game in my entire life, so for me it was very humbling," Hicks said. "The next time I'm in that situation it will give me a chance to react better."It's also a lesson to the guys on the team that you don't put your personal situation above the team's situation."Hicks pushed down judge Mike Carr. The official was attempting to break up a dispute between Bucs guard Ali Marpet and Hicks after Bears safety Eddie Jackson intercepted a pass.Following the ejection Cheap Chris Godwin Jersey , Hicks went to the sideline and threw his jersey and shoulder pads into the stands and went to an empty locker room."There's no feeling like going into the locker room at halftime, or just before halftime, by yourself," Hicks said. "You sit in the locker room, it's just not something you're accustomed to."So it was definitely a relief to not be suspended, but also it was a time for reflection for myself."Hicks said his message to teammates after the incident was a simple one: "I wanted them to know how I felt about the situation and how wrong my response was to the situation."Hicks hadn't talked about the incident with media since the ejection occurred."I know there are a lot of young guys that look up to me on this team, and it's hypocritical of me to go out there and do things like that and come back to the locker room and think that everything's gravy," Hicks said. "It doesn't work that way."Chicago's defense ranks second in the NFL this season Bryan Anger Jersey , and is first against the run. Hicks is a major force in the run defense, and last year also led the team in sacks with 8 陆."You're talking about one of the leaders on this defense," Bears linebacker Khalil Mack said. "Just knowing that he's going to be out there is going to boost morale for sure."Bears coach Matt Nagy was satisfied Hicks had learned a lesson."He knew he made a mistake, and that's not who he is," Nagy said. "I think his track record shows that."
