From the episode

Tampa Bay is putting Bucky Irving on a pitch count... because of how long the season is and the grueling nature of the position... Bucky Irving was going to be ready in summer or fall like a month ago. Now he's back and he was playing 73% of the snaps. I don't really care like what Todd Bowles says.

STACKED’s take

Irving on pitch count despite 73% snap share; source skeptical of Bowles' RB comments.

Tampa Bay has placed Bucky Irving on a pitch count due to the grueling nature of the running back position and the long season ahead. Irving was playing 73% of snaps in week two. However, the source expresses skepticism of Todd Bowles' statements about running backs, noting Bowles frequently makes such comments that don't materialize. Irving was reported dead in camp a month ago but is now back and contributing, though the pitch count suggests Tampa is managing his workload carefully.
