Bucs looking at Incognito, traded for Mankins

Everyone keeps saying "just a 4th rounder" and are ignoring TE Tim Wright being in the deal. This could say something about the health of Gronk or just the fact that they want to go back to a solid 2 TE set. I can see him being a big part of their offense this year.

Wright is a big, athletic TE who fits the Patriots perfectly and scoring 5 TD's and almost 600 yds in his rookie season is nothing to ignore. Plus it frees up $5.8m in cap space for them.

Rotoworld:

"Wright is a natural fit to potentially fill the old Aaron Hernandez role. He's an athletic catch-first TE that was a former college wideout at Rutgers before posting an impressive 54-571-5 line as a rookie with Mike Glennon as his QB

...

Coach Lovie Smith said the Bucs have "big plans" for TE Tim Wright in the passing game. That's despite the Bucs' additions of 28 yr old TE Brandon Myers (signed to a $4.25 million contract) and Austin Seferian-Jenkins (early 2nd R pick) ... Lovie Smith envisions Wright winning matchups against linebackers and safeties, which is certainly something he can do as an oversized slot threat.

...

coach Greg Schiano showered praise on his rookie tight end last season: "Timmy Wright is quickly becoming a really tough tight end to cover in this league," coach Greg Schiano said."

Not feeling this opener. I didn't drink the mccown kool aid but if they can just hammer the ball up the middle and then work play action off that we're done.

I'm feeling a dogfight that can go either way, but we're still the better football team. No excuses.

    • The difference is about how much player input is allowed and encouraged in the decision making process. Top down teams tend to dictate to players how everything is handled. Disagreements are handled by the coach and players are expected to do what they are told regardless of what they think or feel.  Players are perceived as commodities to be used until we find better. In player led teams player input is encouraged and valued. Players and especially leaders are expected to settle their own disagreements and be accountable to the team but mostly to each other. Players are family to be appreciated and supported in their growth. Is the reality of football the same in both? Yeah there are limited positions, football is a business and winning is the bottom line. Coaches get final say and run the program because that is their job. But in player led teams they feel valued, appreciated, part of a larger whole. Most people who have worked at multiple jobs know exactly what I am talking about. When players try to run the show and don't value  coach input that isn't a player led team, that is a circus which we surely are familiar with in our past.  
    • For our pics and trades tonight and tmrw.  Remember, Aho was a 2nd rounder and Slavin was a 4th rounder. 
    • Seems to be the consensus from the talking heads. I really wish we had double dipped at center in the 2nd round. Sion will never play in the league.
