I thought this guy was just a throw in before. I remember when we had signed him, I think as a future contracts guy... Thought nothing of it, just another scrub to take up space for TC.

THEN, I saw him play in the pre-season game. When I first saw that ugly #66 on a defensive lineman, I thought, "Great, we're scraping the bottom of the barrel now, here come the bums."

This guy blew me away. He was all over the place making plays. He looked athletic and explosive, and on top of that he's pretty similar to Hardy in terms of their build. He really impressed me, and when I went to google him while I wrote this, I saw this article:

I know he was playing against 2nd and 3rd stringers, but he looked like a beast. I had no idea he was 29 either, it's unbelievable the way he looked the other night that he hasn't stuck with a team yet. He's also out of Florida State, so he has the pedigree. Maybe another late-bloomer, Al Wallace?

Well, playing line for the Noles is not exactly "pedigree."

You're right, but until we see how EB pans out I'll hold onto hope and speak of them highly... At the least their guys are big athletes, DLs, not so much. But, I'm hoping we got a couple of the good ones.

Cause we're keeping 5 DTs most likely and Norwood is a DE/OLB so we already have 5 DEs.

This may be true, but there's nothing to say he can't outperform and become one of these five. Plus Norwood could be lumped into our LB corps, as we're pretty depleted at this stage of the game.

I was wondering mainly if Zod had heard any "whispers" or something.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
