He’s back, and this time, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have given him the green light to actually play football.

On Tuesday, news broke that the largest man the NFL has ever seen—defensive tackle Desmond Watson—found his way back to the Bucs’ roster. The timing was curious; Tampa currently stares down Sunday afternoon’s matchup with the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles, a team that has cracked the code on how to get one yard any time it needs to.

Sunday’s onlookers at Raymond James Stadium may get to see an incredible spectacle when the infamous “tush push” gets opposed by Vita Vea and Watson. For the most part since the play was popularized by Philly almost five years ago, no other team has had an answer for it. When two teams are fighting over a yard, and only one of them knows the snap count, that team obviously has a marked advantage.

But what happens when you throw two men who weigh a combined 800 pounds in front of the play? Nobody knows yet, but Sunday could be the chance to see.

Before Watson was picked up, Tampa Bay head coach Todd Bowles relayed that the move would not be made specifically for the matchup against the Eagles.

"He had a good workout," Bowles said Monday after the team had worked Watson out. "But we'll never bring him in just to stop a tush push. If we've got to bring in a guy to stop one play and the tush push never comes up, you're wasting your time. If we bring him in, we think he can play, not just for a Philadelphia thing. It's very unlikely he'd be ready to play, once we bring him in, for Philadelphia right now anyway."

While that quote does not make it sound promising that Watson will be a big part of the team’s defensive game plan against Philly, things can change on the field. If the Bucs face three 3rd-and-shorts on Philly’s first drive and fail to stop any of them, it could be time for “Big Des” to shine.

Even if Todd Bowles is telling the truth about Watson being signed as a season-long asset, it’s hard to imagine he will see a ton of reps. Bowles’ defense relishes the ability to dial up creative blitzes, and it uses a lot of speed in the box to do so. Seven different players on the Bucs have already recorded a sack in their first three games. If Watson was asked to shift three gaps for a stunt, it seems like his lack of mobility would throw off the entire dynamic of the defense’s gap responsibility.

Bucs fans want to see Watson on the field for one reason—to stop the run—and they want to see it this weekend especially. Bowles has typically been a man of his word, so if he says Watson won’t be ready for Sunday, he likely will not see the field.

But come on, Todd. Do the right thing. You’re going to be at home in front of a packed crowd. Yes, you have a game to win, but think about the decibel level if you were to send “Big Des” out there on 4th-and-1. Do it for the people.
