Seriously....215 yards on 15 attempts for a 14.3 yard average last meeting.

Meeks better come up with some answers before it happens again.

Considering that the Bucs do not have the best OL in football...nor Jacobs to carry the load....Ward will be an average RB.

We've got a whole new game plan for those two "Cats". :D

Are we talking about the same Bucs team that imploded down the stretch....lost to the Raiders....now have no QB? Is that the same team?

If so, you will need a whole lot more that an average RB to get back on the porch with the big dogs.

Yeah, Ward ran all over our defense in OT. We were also playing back up DT's at both spots, including a rookie who was playing in his first game ever, and it all happened after Brandon Jacobs did all the dirty work beforhand.

Ward don't scare me.

Oh my God it's Derrick Ward... yeah Buc's fans we're not scarred of your backup RB who looked better than he is behind the best O-line in the league and one of the top 5 RB's in the league as well. Better get some help on that D-line if you don't want to see D-Will and J-Stew abuse Ronde again like they did on Monday Night Football infront of the whole world lol yeah how does it feel knowing we shanked you guys infront of millions of people and won the NFC South?

    • Absolutely. He just turned 27 a few days ago, so quite young. He and Moehrig would be quite the pairing.  I know we say this every year, but this FA period has A LOT of talent that will be switching uniforms. We were aggressive last year and have no doubt this time next week will have some studs on defense.   
    • DJ Moore has always been a bit of an enigma. He came here young, flashed a ton of potential, but never truly grew into a real #1. He’s had a few good reasons, but yet to have a real monster season (outside of his first year with Chicago) We’re still waiting for him to blossom, but he will be 29 next season. I fear that it is too late for him at this point.
    • I have considered free agency.  LT?  Either not good enough or too expensive.  Besides, this is a good OT draft.  (I would rather have a free agent, mind you, but the Panthers' reality suggests we can't do it without neglecting other positions).  What LTs are available in free agency, and what do you expect to pay?  Any Ickey-level OT is going to cost over $20m.   How much do we already have invested in our OL?  I get your point, but I do not think you can spend over $100m per on your OL. We have 2 guards and a right T who pull in about $75m per season.  We don't have a center yet.  Teams just don't let good LTs hit free agency, and when one does on rare occasion, he is expensive.  If you want a third of the Panther cap going to 5 Offensive Linemen, free agency is the way to go.  We still need S, ILB, Edge, WR, etc. I think we'd need more than Nijman--and I would understand if we went free agent for a T--but that is putting a TON of your cap at OL--so considering our situation, I do not see that option as preferable.  You may disagree. If I was not talking LT on our line and thinking about the cap, I would agree 100%.
