Can a Buccaneer receiver reach the 1,000-yard mark this season?

[Hot Topic]

No Buccaneer pass-catcher has recorded 1,000 receiving yards in a season since 1989, when Mark Carrier set the team record with 1,422.

Both Keyshawn Johnson and Jacquez Green got off to good starts in Dallas, each passing the 70-yard mark. However, it's far too early to consider that a 'pace' that will lead to a certain end-of-the-year total.

What do you think? Could either Green or Johnson make it to 1,000 yards this year? How about a longshot - Warrick Dunn? Will the Bucs' passing attack provide enough opportunities?

[JAyBuc]

YES!!!!

Both Key, and Jacq. It would be really cool for both of them to do it, and possible too.............Jay

[BuCsMaNiAc420]

Yes I think that it is possible. If they don't why did we get Johnson and Johnson. It is very possible and it should happen this year. Keyshawn should go over a 1000 I think and I also think that Dunn will put a up good number also at least 500 yards receiving.

[LewBoB1022]

Of course! That is if we pass the ball alot. With Keyshawn anythings possible!

[marshmallow12]

give key the catches he wants, and get quez the ball with room to build up speed and they could both get 1000 yards

[Mini Dunn]

I Think Keyshawn has more of a chance to get 1,000 yards but,Dunn & Green combined should very easily combine for over 1,000. This will open up running room for Dunn.Our super bowl Hero-in-the-making.

[USF01]

whats w/ the 75's LDF?
anyways, i dont think recieving yards matter, in '99 we didnt have many and everyone knows we wouldve won the super bowl.
we passed so much at dallas, well passed more than usual, and we couldnt establish any dominance b/c the passes were too short so it wasnt stretching the field therefore we couldnt run well. dominating a game offensively comes from either running the ball or making lots of big plays in the passing game...we did neither.
the question should be, "what will dunns yards per run be?" if its high and he has alot of carries thats a stat that shows dominance.

[LewBoB1022]

Hey, USF01 the running game has nothing to do with the passing game. The fact of the matter is that Dunn just isnt running well this season. I still feel that we need to pass it more.

------------------

[Bucc Time]

I guess I'll be the bad guy here, but as much as I'd like to see it, I don't think it will happen. The way things have started, we're going to have to depend on our Defense and a short-mid range passing game.

However, I do think we'll end up with Key and Jaquez over 80 catches each. Key may hit 100. Although we have a lot of the tools in place, I don't think our play book, Or at least what I've seen of it, has enough flare to really light it up. And Dungy will always be a ground it out, Defensive minded coach. But if we can do it, over 1000 yards that is, it will make for an even more exciting season.

[Buc de Cologne]

Well, it shouldn´t be a problem to get Keyshawn at least 70 receiving yards per game, we just have to take care to throw him the ball. He´s going to catch it, depend on that. And with BJ we have a QB with an awesome accuracy, so #19 will get the ball more than he did last year.
We can´t just continue with what we have done in the past. We all know that it was not enough, so we have to improve in some areas. Guess it would be a good start to improve the gain out of the passing game http://64.159.85.249/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif

[RUSHDOGG]

Of course the Bucs will have a 1,000 receiver this season, one would be a fool to think that the Bucs wouldn't. In the Dallas game 2 receivers had over 70 yards receiving. If you average that over a 16 game season and the Bucs will have 2 1,000 yard receivers barring injuries. The Bucs are looking **** good on the offensive side of the ball. Brad Johnson was a very big addition to this team and he can get the ball to his receivers whether it is a 10 yard out or a 25 yard post pattern. When was the last time two Buc receivers had 7 catches in a game each?

It's basically the same group that played with Trent Dilfer...Shaun King inspired them to get to the playoffs...with him on the bench the season will be short!

[BuCsMaNiAc420]

I agree Jamie if they don't get to the playoffs it is because they don't have King starting anymore

[mr.buccaneer]

will someone tell me...WHY we spent all that money on brad johnson, when shaun king did the same job...if not BETTER last year

[LDF]

USF01..the 75's ....

I don't know just look better than 00 I guess?!?

[Wazzup!]

With all the double teams on KJ, theres no reason in the world that Quez couldn't have a 1200 yard season. Dungy has to quit being quite as conservative and let Clyde C. open up the passing attack without the 8 yard out
patterns and they could have Reidel in there too in the slot at times for good measure.
They have the talent, they need to open it up more and run deeper patterns though. Lord
only knows Brad has the arm to get it done.

[40BucsFAN]

I agree Wazzzup. WIth Brad at the helm, the need to open up the passing game. Even with Shaun callin the plays, they should open up. He can get the ball down field too. Get back to basic football. Run' pass, pass , run. The biggest thing i think that hurts our bucs is that they cannot seem to establish a rhythymn.

------------------
Southern By Birth.. Buccaneers fan ..naturally.

[SB4TB]

two words: no way

not with the five yard passes and recievers ending the day with 7 catches for 35 yards

[txramsfan]

A Buc receiver with a 1,000 yard receiving? Really? This isn't one of those hoax things that are screaming around all over the internet. Surely you fans can't be serious thinking a TB Buc receiver in this offense has even a glimmer of hope at a 1,000.

[Buceyed]

Who Cares as Long as They WIN

[UKBUK]

Johnson has the ability to receive.

Green has the ability to receive.

Johnson has the ability to pass.

Dungy won't call the plays.

[GlenLivet12Year]

Key can do it with the average he has so far. As long as they don't try to go too deep. He is always better with a short to mid range catch that lets him make a play on the defender. If he gets an average of 7 catches a game, with an average of 9 yards, he's got it. Right now his average is 10.8 yards a catch.

[JimmyC]

Key if anyone will.

[Y2A]

Keyshawn should get to 1000.

[ARealBucFan]

Maybe as long as B. Johnson keeps throwing the ball and somebody "catch it"!!.

[garydunn]

Keyshawn Johnson is on the trail with 389 yrds. He is listed 3rd overall but I have to place him first as the two others in front of him have played 1 more game than he has. K.J. should do it this year.

[jatabuc]

key is on his way to 1033.

[Deanna042376]

I think it is possible as long as the offensive line can protect Johnson long enough for him to throw the ball. Come on - 10 sacks in one game!!!!!! How horrible is that? He can throw the ball when given a chance and so I think that as long as the protection is there then yes they can reach the yards

[Big Red Ugly]

Key can...Assuming he does not miss any games this season. Which looks bad this week.

[Pewter Power Perez]

Keyshawn will be the first reciever in history to catch for over 1,600 yards in a season with NO TOUCHDOWNS http://64.159.85.249/ubb/noncgi/mad.gif!!!!!

It's ridiculous to pay that kind of money and not get TD's which in the end, is what he's being payed for http://64.159.85.249/ubb/noncgi/mad.gif!!!!!

alright if you are sucn a bad@*** then why dont you go out and do the job he is doing you idiot

[Steve1982]

I think Key can get over 1,000 yards, but ONLY if Brad Johnson quits throwing short 3-4 yard passes. Key can catch the long ball, just give him the chance.

[palmbaybuc]

Not as long as Brad Johnson has Trigger-Lock! The instant replay shows him spotting the receiver downfield, but Johnson won't deliver the ball ontime. He seems to have some sort of mental glitch!

What's up Coach? Fix it! Or, put King back in there! I'm sick of the Bucs loosing game that they should be winning.

[ECBuc]

A receiver could reach the 1,000 yard mark if and ONLY if a quality QB was in the game. Brad Johnson is NOT a quality QB. He's a QB that will be continually abused by the fans, just as Dilfer was, because we see how he plays. All the other knowledge and "experience" B.J. may have is over-shadowed by his inability to make it happen on the field. Maybe you should take the posts of the fans under consideration. After all, it's the fans that bring money into the organization. It's we fans that support our bucs team. Without us fans, what good is a team? Think about it.

[bucdiva18]

I believe that Keyshawn Johnson could reach the 1,000 yard mark if the Bucs would pass more. But they won't. They're a running team. They run and run and throw a pass here and there. It would be nice to see some big plays once in a while.

[Pewter Power Perez]

Look butman errrr... Bucman... Don't get me wrong, Keyshawn is a great "POSSESSION RECIEVER". He's big, strong, he can make the tough catches in traffic, and his run blocking is right up there with Rod Smith of Denver, but he's never been able to separate from the cornerback. He doesn't have that break-away speed. Whether it's Keyshawn fault or Brad Johnson or Clyde Christensen or Dungy himself, Keyshawn is not producing the one thing a reciever or a running back should produce, that's 6 points!
If you want to be a cheerleader and sit on the side line ROOTING our team on, go ahead, but call me an idiot for voicing an opinion formed with greater thought then your cheesy little shot!!!
Now go back to your Nintendo!

[Elite D-lineman]

Johnson will. The question is will he ever score a touchdown?

not this year.....coming into last night's awesome win over the Rams we had run the ball the second least amount of times (ahead of Detroit, who trails the whole so they can't run it. if they didn't trail, they have James Stewart so we'd be last)

[txramsfan]

If anything, Reidel Anthony has the potential and speed for a 1,000 yard season if more plays were made for him

[Derrick Brooks #1 fan]

Yes,Reidell,Jaguez,and Keyshwan all three Wide Recievers are good if they all got the ball thrown to them enough times all of them probbaly past the 1,000 yards catching.

[This message has been edited by Derrick Brooks #1 fan (edited 12-04-2001).]

[kenny]

Maybe not this season but definintly next season! We have to get the ball to Keyshawn more than we have been doing! He has shown in past years with other teams that he is capable of acomplishing that kind of feat. We have a weapon we just gotta figure out hoe to use it!

Yeah, this look like he gonna to have 1,500 yards, 100 catches, and no td's, but I believe that Dungy is one who takes blame because he prefers conversation offense which will be difficult for receivers to have many td's. If the Bucs have same kind of offense that St. Louis has, Anthony, Green, and Johnson might have more than 1,000 receiving yards and 10 tds; also, Dunn also would have 1,000 receiving yards just like Marshall Faulk because Dunn, Anthony, and Green aren't factor for conversation offense, but they would be perfect fit in St. Louis's high octane offense except Dunn can play conversation offense; however, he can't carry a load of the balls by himself like E. James does whereas opponents will go after him.

[CatzPackRatz]

Every time the Bucs get 1000 yards away from home,,,,they lose

[CatzPackRatz]

maybe next season,,,maybe next season ,,,maybe next season,,,maybe next season,,,maybe next season ,,,,maybe next season,,,maybe next season,,,hey,,,build a new stadium, get a new QB and WR, give them millions and maybe, just maybe, gee whiz, gosh golly darn, we tried that already,,,,

Face it,,,the BUCS SUC,,,,period

SEPT. 11, 2001-THE DAY AMERICA CRIED

Thats a load of BS. Dont get me wrong Keyshawn & Jacquez are good recievers, but it all comes down to one person: Brad Johnson. Now I dont give a da** if hes a veteran he plain flat out sucks, my opinion is "BENCH HIM OR FIRE HIM!!!" (preferably fireing him would be nice) The guy cant throw. I mean that pass that won the game against Detroit was LUCKY, did u see that ball!? My point is: both recievers are capable of achieving 1000 yds. but with Brad we're not gonna be seein' that n e time soon http://64.159.85.249/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif

[rovilebucs]

Keyshawn for sure can do it

[angelgirl4501]

Man, Jaqueze can sure do it! (provided he is given the dang ball!!!!!)... HE has the potential to be the best wide recieve the Buccs got, but they just don't use him!!!! START THINKING STRAIT TONY~~!!~~ http://64.159.85.249/ubb/noncgi/confused.gif
