<\/p>\n\t\t\tKeeping Ted Hurst \u201cRolling\u201d
\nOctober 3rd, 2026 <\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Ted Hurst celebrates as he crosses the goal line on his first NFL touchdown catch, 40 yards from Baker Mayfield last Sunday.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t look now, but the biggest home run hitter in the Bucs passing game is a rookie.<\/p>\n
Ted Hurst has only six catches through three games but leads the Bucs with 17 yards per catch.<\/p>\n
And with Jalen McMillan out for maybe the next two months, Hurst will see even more snaps.<\/p>\n
So if the Bucs turn turn this season around, specifically get their offense kick-started, Hurst is likely to play a significant role in the revival.<\/p>\n
This had Bucs offensive coordinator Zac Robinson singing a the same song this week about getting Hurst more touches (sound familiar Sean Tucker?).<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got to keep Ted rolling,\u201d Robinson said. \u201cHe\u2019s done a great job, man. I can\u2019t say enough good things about him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hurst scored his first touchdown after a sweet pitch-and-catch (40 yards) from Baker Mayfield, pulling within three points, 10-7 of Minnesota.<\/p>\n
Joe saw Hurst make excellent catches just about every day in training camp. Solid, contested 10-20 yard grabs. Daily. Maybe Robinson can use Hurst that way once in a while rather than just bombs to Hurst.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was great to see his first touchdown on that \u2013 it was a big play,\u201d Robinson said. \u201cWe needed a spark.\u201d<\/p>\n
Robinson was firm that he has to get Hurst gets more action.<\/p>\n
Might be easier said than done. Joe has a hunch Jalon Daniels, making his first NFL start tomorrow, will have a ton on his mind other than getting Hurst the ball more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Keeping Ted Hurst \u201cRolling\u201d October 3rd, 2026 Ted Hurst celebrates as he crosses the goal line on his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":417896,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[10998,10997,135,2964,137,136],"class_list":["post-417895","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tampa","tag-bucs-message-boards","tag-bucs-news","tag-tampa","tag-tampa-bay-buccaneers","tag-tampa-headlines","tag-tampa-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417895","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=417895"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417895\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/417896"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=417895"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=417895"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=417895"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
