We got you @DevinWhite__40 #GoBucs https://t.co/cHcRXMApOh White was responding to a tweet from Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times after the Bucs’ star defender previously addressed the criticism in his Wednesday meeting with reporters. “I was on the far side of the field, on our sidelines, (in) coverage. The play happened on their sidelines, and I took off running. Obviously, I wasn’t running the fastest over there. My teammates know what’s going on,” White said. The tape showed White jogging toward Demarcus Robinson as the Ravens wide receiver converted a 3rd-and-9 to extend a drive in Bucs territory with the game tied 10-10 in the third quarter. The Ravens would score a touchdown two plays later. Buccaneers coach T...
