it was one of the topics tonight on koetter's corner. koetter accepted the blame for mismanaging timeouts when the bucs tried to stage a last minute winning drive, but there were opportunities to score regardless of timeouts or no timeouts. the mentality has to change and koetter said the team discussed that today. >> teams sometimes figure out they do figure out ways to win a game and that's something that we got to get fixed. hey, i'm not putting any player higher up on the totem pole than that. i need to address it with the players. i talked to them a lot about it today and asked them to keep us between us. i don't think it's something that we can get a lot of help with on the outside. we got to solve it ourselves. >> and a reminder you can catch koetter's corner mo and check out the extended version on www.wfla.com. tonight's interview was a pretty good one. >>> former bucs tight end austin seferian-jenkins claimed today by the new york jets placed on waivers friday following his arrest for dui. jets are 16th in the nfl now in passin

he was booted out of a practice by dirk koetter. that was our first tine that the new coach was not sold on talent. in training camp, he demoted sefarian-jenkins, later reinstated him to a shared role with cameron brate. and cameron has performed well. he has twice the catches as asj. asj has a touchdown catch. we can't rule out what he has accomplished. but, listen, he is going to go on elsewhere. talib left this team and had a good career, but he couldn't stay. given what the buccaneers were trying for the organization. that is above everything. >> you can bet the team that picks him up, looking at his history, they will be a little cautious. >> reporter: he will have to answer to someone else for that. >> thank you. and we have extended coverage ophiasis arrest on wfla.com. you can watch the full arrest video, sobriety test and more for austin sefarian-jenkins. >>> a 14-year-old ask facing felony charges. >> for beating up and robbing he was sitting on his porch when alexander perez hit him and stole his walker. albert walker say

now today in our exclusive koetter's corner chat with bucs head coach dirk koetter the coach explained how no one will feel sorry for the bucs if martin can't play. >> losing doug is huge because he's one of the top running backs in the league, but, you know, in charles simms and jacques rogers we have two very capable backups. we'll try to plug things in if doug can't go, play more to structural changes because you can't at this point. >> if you missed koetter's corner at 6:00 tonight, no problem. the full uncut version is up on www.wfla.com. don't forget to tune in next monday at 6:00. >>> welcome to florida/tennessee week austin appleby who felt the wrath of the volunteers fan base on the weekend. hours after a knee sidelined quarterback luke del rio a vols gofundme page for a funeral for appleby. >> they're going to get me some cash, i can use it. i'm hungry plus i can pay for gas in my scooter. head coach jon cooper there for team north america taking on russia, but this is a family face, namestnikov scores for russia and then it's nikita kucherov, back to back lightning goals for

koetter's corner promises to hold no punches this year. trust me, we love the guy. if you missed it at 6:00, shame on you, but you can find the extended tropical -- version on www.wfla.com. we discussed the difference between quarterback jameis winston between start on opening day last year to season no. 2. >> reporter: one year later this is a different guy it seems to me, complete leader, different scenario. >> well, that's evidenced by the fact jameis was voted captain for the season by our team and that game last year was a game to forget and i don't think we'll play anything like that this year. i think our guys will come out with their ears pinned back ready to get after it. >> all right. halftime, noles fans, up 39-28 now in the 4th quarter, unbelievable comeback by fsu who looked horrible early in this game. >>> rays taking on the orioles this afternoon, 1st inning logan morrison against ubaldo jimenez. jimenez pitched great but not that one, a three-run shot. 3-0 rays. matt andriese second time they get him 4th inning. chris davis home run. to the 5th it's

on sunday dirk koetter will take the field at the georgia dome for his they face the falcons that you can see here on fox 13. the coach has prepared for every situation imaginable but there are some things that you cannot foresee. >> yeah, you know the thing about that when you watch the college games you see how many things get screwed up in clock management. can you never be ready for that stuff that happens. when you're on your couch are when you have a bunch of people screaming at you, it is different. >> last week was not a good week for weather forecasting and hermine was a disaster but in sports forecasting. >> it was picture perfect. how did i do? >> let's take a look. monday, red sox. rays. we have seen this. tuesday. thd goodness third. stanford beating kansas state 56789 for 5 i would say -- this calls for a bit of a celebration. all right. >> i have to get a fork. >> all right. >> yeah. >> all right. >> everyone out i have do do a sports cast. thank you. thank you. >> and all right cut the music. let's go with today. ole miss and florida state. this is a big game. and flor

jameis winston not only has the respect of his team but command of the koetter playbook. >> last year we were still in that phase where jameis was turning it over times every day and, you know, he's not doing that now. >> he threw the whole playbook at me day one. so i guess it's just me being more comfortable with the playbook, being able to actually see things more clear because i know what situation we're looking at. >> during training camp koetter praised winston's decision making ability. he ran more during the preseason instead of forcing throws to covered receivers. if that carries into the chances to extend drives, fewer interceptions. >> being able to know the offense and beak able to execute and apply -- being able to execute and apply it on the field instead of every week trying to learn what i have to do, i guess it's a plus for me and the team. >>> rays and the orioles this afternoon at the trop, kevin kiermaier in the 1st inning. we call that a mistake pitch, keith. that's the result. that went through the wall i think in right field. h corey dickerson the runner on firs

>>laura: derek koetter gets a gatorade shower. afterwards, he tried to downplay it as just another game but said he got emotional when jameis winston handed him the game koetter replaced lovie smith. >>russell: we start 1-0 and we have 15 more games to go. who is counting? koetter put his faith in jameis winston with the falcons leading 13-10 late in the first half. winston connected with simms, iii. touchdown gave tampa bay a 17-13 lead, one that carried into the second half. by the end of the day, winston completed 23 of 33 passes for 281 career. winston says it belongs to his teammates. >> any time you get points from the ball, it's a confidence booster and just starts the momentum of the game. >> it's a team effort and everybody helped. so excited, excited for every guy in that room because we played like a team today, you know? that was good. >>russell: bucs won. next week they go to arizona. sunday, september 25. >>laura: it is 6:34. opening day in the nfl started with a somber note marking the 15th anniversary of the septem

. >>> according to head coach dirk koetter the box lacked that one thing. >>> hello folks. we could tell you this much, the lightning do want to sing -- they do want to sign could tr the full-court press is on to get this deal done. they want him in camp and they can't be sure whether or not he will report without a contract. the exhibition season beginning tomorrow at home against carolina. >>> it's an understatement to say that he is a big part of this lightning team, picked up the slack in the offense when he went down last season but in for the second year in a row. so close to another stanley cup but chicago and pittsburgh turning them away, however they are back for a third try getting geared up to make another run. >> going to expect everyone's best again this year. but ultimately i think we finished strong and we got a chance again to make it. to the cup finals. and i think we should put ourselves in position to do that again. those are our expectations right there. >>> i could stand here and rattle off about 10 things that cost the buccaneers a yesterday against th

earlier today i asked dirk koetter about it. >> it always affects your special teams the most, but because he's a key member of our pass rush crew, it affected clinton mcdonald had to play probably had to play more outside, just one of the few negatives of the nfl is the injury factor and for us to lose smith yesterday was a heartbreaker. >> speaking of koetter's corner, if you missed tonight's episode at 6:00, the extended version is up on www.wfla.com right now. we do this every monday night on news channel 8 at 6:00 during the bucs season, greats stuff from the coach, trust me. >>> double head tonight on monday night football, redskins hosting the steelers. if you have antonio brown on your fantasy team, good for you because he put on a show don't, great catch, this one even better, but not a good twerk. that will come with a 15-yard penalty. hey, it's what you do, keith, after the show. 38-16 steelers blow out the redskins. >>> speaking of knees florida haines city derwin james had surgery on his cartilage injury. the noles have a huge game this week at 10th ranked louisville and the b

rodgers played for koetter in atlanta and has some versatility as a change of pace back... can catch out of the backfield as well as return punts and kicks. jameis winston is a nominee quarter wasn't his best... starting 3 for 7 with a red zone interception.... but it didn't faze winston... bouncing back to lead the bucs to a win... teams are always looking for stability in their quarterback and dirk koetter feels he has that with his qb... major league baseball releases next season's schedule tomorrow and for the rays, 2017 couldn't get here soon enough... it's been a tough season, but a bright spot... has been how well they play against toronto... rays needs just one win to take the season series against the blue jays.... rays jump out front in the fifth.... with two on, alexei ramirez lifts the 0-2 pitch to left... it takes forever to come down... his first homer with the rays... don't miss first base there... rays lead 3-0.... smyly with a shutout in the sixth when russell martin changes that.... no doubt where that one is landing.... two-run shot makes it a one run gam

before the game, koetter found him studying room. afterwards on the plane he was watching game tape again. >> that's preparation. you know, he's doing a good job of that. i think guys that want to be great, they find ways as they go from rookies into how they become better pros. when you're a pro, you know, you find ways to get better. >>> "monday night football" tonight, steelers at head s -- covering. antonio brown, third catch. this is third quarter catch. 26 yards, and then a little extra activity afterwards. he had two touchdowns on the day. 38-16 steelers. >>> it will be a noon kickoff for next week's florida state/south florida game at raymond james. the game time was made official today. it's also a sellout and it should be a wild atmosphere. big congrats to quinton flowers named the offensive player of the week this polls. >>> rays open a three-game set against the blue jays. jose bautista and that ball is deep and over the wall. the rays tie it up off two solo shots of their own. first evan longoria. get out of here! then b

i was puzzled myself and koetter came out to discuss it again. you deal with what actually happened. now two things, number one runningback charles sims right here should have finished this run out of bounds preserving for whatever reason, i have no idea. that is just basic football 101. and two, this game was won right here when winston's pass sails three feet too wide to a wide open vincent jackson. let's face it folks, i've not nitpicking here, i'm just going by what actually happened and the two miscues that ultimately decided this game. tight end austin stefari and jenkins new life in the nfl. the new york jets have claimed them off labor. by the buccaneers as we know after he was arrested under the suspicion of driving under the influence. okay, it's here, the lightning exhibition season is getting underway tomorrow night at home against carolina. none of the world cup participants will play in this one. in fact none of them would practice today. but the good news is only steven stamkos remains in toronto right now with this year somehow st

koetter didn't have much of an update today, saying m-r-i's will be taken tomorrow. so -- still no word on doug martin's hamstring or robert ayers ankle... hopefully they can bounce back in time for sunday's home opener against the rams... as the team shows some resiliency and bounces back in the win column. u-s-f is off to it's best start in 5 years... (3-0) and getting votes in the polls... but week 4 is finally here - the one everyones been waiting for. the biggest game of the willie taggart era - florida state... saturday at ray jay... we'll hear head coach tomorrow when he meets with the media. today it was jimbo fishers turn... and boy did he talk... the seminoles head coach spoke with the media for 35 minutes... answering every single question... obviously upset still about their 43-point loss at louisville over the weekend... but stressed the importance of moving on to a quality u-s-f team... and correcting the issues that plagued them last weekend. florida will be without quarterback luke del rio for their s-e-c east showdown against tennessee at rocky top.

and that is good reason for koetter to smile... a ton of excitement to see jameis and his offensive weapons... but the key, rests on the big shoulders of the offensive line. just 7 sacks surrendered in the preseason, among the fewest in the league. the young o-line is growing up... 2nd year left tackle, donovan smith says he feels leaps and bounds ahead where he was last year at this time. here's our sunday lineup... i'll be live in atlanta bright and early for our first tailgate sunday of the season.... then you can catch the bucs and falcons right here on fox 13 at one... followed by the giants and cowboys.... kevin kiermaier hits the game riding a ten-game hitting streak... doesn't take long to make it eleven... a towering shot nearly hitting the scoreboard... his ninth of the year.... game tied at six... corey dickerson's up... goes opposite field... adam jones should have probably caught it for as long as it hangs in the air... mikie mahtoosc goes 2-for-for on the day.... the credit for the win goes to the bullpen... after dre

koetter believes his bucs are underestimated and people really don't know how good they are... we're about to findout..... as tomorrow's game against the cardinals will be a true measuri where the bucs need to step it up is first cutting down on penalties and getting off to a quicker start... that means getting mike evans involved earier and a better game from vincent jackson... jackson had only two catches for 18 yards... the bucs need vjax to step it up, but he tells us winston has a lot of this is one of the most bizzare touchdowns you'll ever see.. watch this..... south carolina state's ahmaad harris receives the kickoff in the endzone....he tosses the ball back to the referee before taking a knee...that ball is still live and clemson's denzel johnson knows to jump on it... that's a touchdown... you can't draw this stuff thinking the play is dead and he had to be wondering where the closest exit is.... clemson made them feel worse with a 59-nothing shutout... tossback when we come back - police shootings in ?two cities.. have officers on high alert right now.. the extra mea

dirk koetter announced he will be in the starting lineup. he was released by the falcons and has been a great' dishon to the front 5 since reuniting. you wonder why he they got rid of them. the and talking about matt ryan. jones and freeman. all dangerous weapons for at lan that that the defense will have to find a way to contain. they have their own triple threat. >> when you look to the other field the other side of the field and our mike and you look across the way are you like and freeman and a mutant over there, you know. julio. they are as good as it gets. >> should be good. >> the gm jason licht is looking for a winning season since joining the team. he spent the last few years building up. and defense last year this past year and despite a young the bucs feel better heading into the season than in previous years. >> it there is a calmness more from a confidence level hoy. i feel confident. dirk is confident as our head coach. i know they are confident. we're confident we'll be a better team and show progress it starts with week one.

an issue in the loss was final minute with a pair of time dirk koetter decided not to call the time out after this catch with 30 ticks left. they wanted to run a no huddle keep the pressure on the rams. the down side time was lost. >> when you say what could you have done, you can second guess any call. and like i said, i -- you know i than anyone. i knew why we were doing that. i have confidence in the no muddle and it didn't work out this time. the back to back losses they hope 1 and 2 was not their reality. i went where virtual reality is the norm. and pokemon park for the today's upon further better to go into the make believe world of pokemon. >> an correlation and the bucs and pokemon. >> what did you think of the game yesterday. >> catch them all. >> and they're not paying attention. >> it is hike something is wrong with theirnd thats. can i sit here. >> crabs. >> you watch the game. >> yes. >> are you happy. >> no comment. >> who you dejected. >> how can they lose. they find a way to lose. i i don't understand that. i'm kind of. i'm looking for players. >> that's a drag. >> you

that's what dirk koetter hopes to see. in florida, it used to be that if a child, a senior or one of you and i were not allowed to save them unless we were willing to be sued. has government lost its mind? so i fixed the law to make sure we are all empowered to rescue those who can not rescue themselves. that is the least we can do. after all the love they give. dana young for the florida senate. 4 days from kick off... the bucs are still tweaking the final roster... today they >>> the final roster released mike james. the gm deciding dirk koetter at practice today managed to smile and the afternoon maybe the thought of his regular season game as head coach and the idea of facing his old team the falcons or maybe he is just that much more confident in the abilities of his starting quarterback jameis winston now in his second year. the skill set more refined >> i'm confident. >> we are still and 3, 4 times. and i'm confident defensive, and compliment of weapons but the key rests the big offensive line. 7 sacks during the pr

koetter didn't have much of an update today saying mris will be taken tomorrow. no word on the hamstring or the ankle. hopefully they bounce back in time for the sunday home opener. >> you know, we haven't been tested yet this season, in that department, but the fact that we're coming into our own home stadium for the home that's definitely what we're working for. >> what do bucs fans think the week two showing, and is it time to worry? many any new segment "upon further review" i caught up with fans at daily eats to get their thoughts on the bucs dud in the desert. will it ruin lunch if we talk about the game? >> maybe. >> they were crushed. >> i'm not happy. >> happy birthday. what's your name? >> jeremy. >> jeremy. did you celebrate by watching the bucs loss yesterday. >> i wouldn't call it celebrating. > jameis is a young quarterback. you have to expect that. >> jameis has a lot of promise. >> there's a lot of quarterbacks too, we may need to look at changing it up. >> a quarterback change after week two? >> he's like, i have a lot to say. >> arizona is a goo

when i came here this morning just after buccaneers morning practice, head coach dirk koetter said he was going to withhold make any decision on what happened with austin sefarian-jenkins after he got that information. he must have gotten that information quickly. within a couple of hours, asj was done. tampa bay buccaneer austin sefarian-jenkins was not a happy man he spent time this morning trying to talk his way out of a dui after the fhp pulled him over at 275 and state road 60. they said he was flying down the road doing 80 miles an hour in a 50 miles an hour zone. and even whizzed by and cut off a trooper in the process. >> all right man, whatever man. tell me how you want me to walk. >> reporter: troopers gave him a field sobriety test. he failed. and so, they cuffed him and threw him in the back of the

dirk koetter says he is not worried about his quarterback collapsing under the workload, he is just looking for more balance with the offense. >> as far as jameis handling volume, i'm sure he would throw every time but for our team to be effective we can't keep on throwing in the we have to run it more, the more you run it, the better you get. >> winston with 142 attempts so attempts farthis year, that leal quarterbacks. >> and disney fans, the lion king is about to get a reboot. >> disney says it's going to dark ages of 1994 -- seems like yesterday -- grossed nearly 1 billion worldwide. >> it just doesn't seem like it needs a reboot, but i guess that is just me. >> and maybe they are reprise "circle of life". that does it for us,hakuna matata. i don't clip, i don't plan, but i still save a lot. i just shop for publix brand products, cuz they're great. and that's it. no really, that's it. that's how i save at publix. how 'bout you? well when i shop, my coupons are in a neat little stack, and my weekly ad is folded like this. ready to go... that's how i save a lot at publix. how 'bout you? p

he played under head coach dirk koetter in atlanta. four of his touchdowns game against the bucs back then. more important, this creates you have doug martin at the top. then you have two very good pass catching runners in charles simms. here is an example of rogers. don't call the syracuse game a trap game. that was the message today from usf head coach willy taggart saying his team is focused on this saturday's game at syracuse. not the following week against guess who, florida state. after two dominating wins to a 14-point favorite on the road. so naturally, it would be tempting to sneak a peek at second ranked fsu and the bull's coaching staff has done that, but the players have dialed in, for now. the mighty seminoles do not exist. >> i think that is why you have been seeing our football team play well. our guys are able to focus on game at hand and not think ahead. we must respect our opponent that we e or, anything else doesn't matter. you know. this is the most important game. >> all right last night the rays had a little dustu

time in sports this morning: dirk koetter and the bucs are gearing up-- both physically and mentally for their game against the falcons... and evan longoria takes a pitch to the hand. fox 13's scott smith has the details in morning if you went to bed early, you missed an amazing comeback win for the 4th ranked florida state seminoles. f-s-u took on the 11th ranked ole miss rebels in orlando last night. ole miss lead at one point by 22 points. roaring back in the second half... winning 45 to 34. it's the biggest comeback in f-s-u's history. saint pete is a rainbow of colors this morning... after artists spent their weekend decorating the city. how these beautiful murals are inspiring creativity... and where you can check them out for yourself-- after the break. introducing dunkin's new cold brew coffee, steeped slowly in cold water for small batches with an ultra-smooth, full-bodied flavor. st. pete looks even more colorful this morning... after mural artists turned various parts of the city into a canvas! very hard to see the evidence of their hard work-- that's for sure! those artis

no problem says kid koetter and fade, beautiful ball to the fellow named after a cowboy hat. stetson hauled it in and berkeley prep wined 14-7. --- wins 14-7. >> e chamberlain chiefs. here come the chiefs, alfonzo lewis takes the pass, rambles down to the 10-yard live and cap the drive, dominic medina. somebody get there. how about the pile-on. chief goes for two, don't get it. so they're down 20-16. tack on a field goal for steinbrenner, evan so-point game. -- seven-point game. the tackle. less than 10 seconds to go. how about the warriors tonight getting the win 23-16. >> next up plant at robinson, the knights having a bad night. down 22-0 in the 2nd when dan fransen dials up a deep ball and there it is, powering his way to the end zone. best part, though, slip and a for effort, 15 yards for being a showoff. a little later plant looking for more, but recovered by the big fellow charlie meech, but robinson can't do anything with it. fitzgerald, intercepted by aaron king. plant goes on to run roughshod oh robinson 38-0 the final. -- over robinson 38-0 the final. >> the bay ar

bucs head coach dirk koetter is warning his team the nfl is a week to week league. though it is early the cards could be playing for their season sunday afternoon. >> there's four teams in the league that have their first two games at home. arizona is one of them. and they got beaten at home. there are three team ins the league with their first two games ton road, we are one of them and we won last week. so, i mean, think about what is arizona telling their team? 2-0 at home, this is a must win game for arizona. >> jameis winston has a connection to cardinals coach bruce arians pictured there with the cool hat. the latter ran football camps in alabama that jameis attended. he recalls arians jewelry. >> i remember him showing me the super bowl rings and i still haven't got one, so i'm shooting for that. he real leader motivated me to a he showed me the pittsburgh one. it was gorgeous. >> jameis is not the only buc with eyes on the big prize. the coach has urged his team to set lofty expectations and why not the superbowl? >> if you are not playing this game to get to

he torched them with four touchdowns all while playing under an offensive coordinator named dirk koetter in atlanta. now rogers creates a very solid trio of bucs running backs behind doug martin and charles simms and the bucs enjoyed a nice day defensively the falcons on sunday. that includes the quarterback, a big topic during the preseason. brent grimes had a pair of pass breakups. there was a field goal attempt late in the game and rookie vernon hargreaves was a victim on one big play but held his own in his nfl debut. >> vernon going against a guy like julio jones for his first game in the nfl did a nice job, he had a couple plays get away from him, but we're real encouraged. >>> whether it was bad blood or disentrust blue jays shortstop troy tulowitzki was in no mood to talk about monday night's shouting match with steven souza, jr. and turned away reporters when asked about it. cooler heads prevailed tonight in third game just picked up last week a three-run shot there, trips over first base, though. it counts. how good did this feel, though, sousa, the guy stuck in the middle of t

dirk koetter telling reporters today it's "next man up"... so back-ups charles sims and jacquizz rodgers will fill in while he's away... in the passing game, jameis winston is looking for a bounceback game against the rams... but as you can see... things between he and receiver vincent jackson have been a little off so far this year... pretty noticeable in the arizona game... through ?2 games, jackson's been targeted 15 times... but just 6 catches... so why do these two seem to be out of sync? the rays have hit a ton of bombs this year, especially ?against the bronx bombers... in fact the most homeruns the yankees have ever surrendered to a single team in the 2010 bluejays... but the 2016 rays, closing in with 31... entering the night. in the third... bobby wilson up leads off with a homer... the first homer of the ininng... after two outs, longoria up and that shot is gone... his 36th of the year... that ties the 2010 jays. next batter, brad miller and that shot too is gone... his first of two on the night... thats 34 homeruns against the ya

meanwhile the 1-0 bucs are high on their own supply all in on coach koetter's philosophy setting the loftiest of goals seriously asking why not the super bowl? >> if you're not expecting your team to get to the super bowl, you shouldn't play. it doesn't matter if all odds are against you. you go out there playing the game expecting to win, expecting to work towards being in houston. >> why not? put it like this. when you start a business, you even this year. you say i want to become a millionaire in my first year of business. so if you don't set your standards and expectations high, you won't expect too much out of yourself, nor the people around you. so to say super bowl and to believe that and to work toward that now while it's young, while it's new, i think it's setting the standard for something great. >> we were talking about this soundbite all day. you know what the sports guy thinks. what do the anchors think? >> absolutely not. evan longoria thinks it even today. >> he's leaning into 16 straight wins. tampa bay, watch out for this comeback. >> you can't do it if you're just n

waited for his number to be called in atlanta for four seasons all under offensive coordinator dirk koetter who became enamored with rogers dating back to his college career at oregon state. >> he he's a muscled up guy. he's hard to see back there. he's extremely hard to bring down, really good quickness. >> the offense is pretty much the staple as when we was in atlanta, so -- same as when we was in atlanta, so it's just different verbiage. >> reporter: last sunday rogers ran the ball two times, one carry good for 24 yards, but much like charles simms rogers is equally effective in the passing game. five of them which were short passes turned into big plays, but it is not easy to replace the nfl's second leading rusher from a year ago. rogers will wait his turn behind simms, carries and catches not guaranteed. >> we're going to go out there and make sure it's no dropoff from what doug brings to the table. >>> rays and yankees, boy, alex cobb, what a nightmare, chased from this game inning, seven runs allowed on nine hits, but the 4th inning tanaka is on the mound and bobby wilson leads off
