Thise other teams are running their own veriation of the Tampa 2 or Cover 2 defense. They have adjusted their defense to fit great players. I have to agree with thomas (wow, that is twice in one week), we need to keep Ruud if we can.

Mike Wesley- ya know I like you, and have great respect for you as a fan and a poster.

Monte Kiffin has said it. Steve White has said it. Pat Kirwin has said it. Warren Sapp has said it. Derrick Brooks has said it. EVERYBODY who has expertise in the Tampa 2 all say that Ruud does a great Job!

If ya don’t wanna believe those guys- u ain’t gonna listen tO me

Thomas,

I have no agendas, except for the Bucs winning. I have never or will never cheer against ANYONE in a Bucs uniform, or working for the Bucs for that matter.

As for the Gator comment, there is a big difference between “I ALMOST hope we lose” and criticizing endlessly every move the coach/owners/hated players do. So don’t even try to flatter yourself and put yourself in the first category.

I actually do agree with you about Talib. However, both you and Capt. are wrong. It was not an NFLPA award, it was an NFL Alumni Club award. He won the award because he is very very good, has nothing to with politics. If you look at the other winners, they are all perennial pro-bowlers and (mostly) future hall of famers. That speaks volumes to his ability.

Been a fan a while I remember one year we were so bad we let a kickoff go all the way back so we can get the ball back so James Wilder could break the all purpose yards.I remember when Floyd Peters was the defensive coordinator.went through the Selmons,Doug Williams,Bo not playing.I remember when we signed Hardy from pitt but I never remember any of the linebackers playing like that and like I said why dont any of the other linebackers play like that in the Tampa 2,plenty of other teams run it and their mlb is not a saftey.Why dont the other linebackers on those teams tackle ten yards down field?And like you im tired of the Ruud talk,mostly from guys saying that the position is not critical,tell that to Chicago,and ive been a fan from the start of this organization.Come on RUUD THE INTIMIDATOR yeah with Brooks and June side him.

Jeez, I’m tired of the Ruud talk. I’m not a big fan of the guy, but he does exactly what they ask of him in this defense. MLB is not a physical presence in our Defense. Everyone bitched about Nickerson and Quarles being “soft” also. In our Defense, MLB is a big safety, more or less.

Ruud is listed as the a top FA linebacker. A lot of teams are gonna offer him a lot of money. We won’t match it, as again, MLB isn’t a critical position for us. He will go to another team for huge money, play close to the line, and will be on Highlight films knocking the crap outta people. Then everyone will bitch about why we let an intimidator like Ruud go- his replacement is soft, and gets drug 10 Yds!!! You didn’t see Barrett getting dragged like that!!

Its a vicious, ugly, and predictable cycle. Those of us who have followed the Bucs for many years have seen this bashing of Tampa MLBs since Kiffin started the Tampa 2

yeah right,Carolina plays a Tampa two,Minnesota plays a Tampa 2,Chicago plays a Tampa 2,you have Urlacher , Beason,and Henderson and you still say you would take Ruud over them because they are what ,too physical because as you keep saying a the middle linebacker is not physical in this defense?

NFC south :Vilma,Lofton,Beason. which one do you think Ruud is better than?

I have heard Rah and Dom take up for Sabby and Clayton,plain and simple they dont talk about their players,unles your Styles,Brooks played with Ruud and he was physical then ,but Ill tell you what ,what team do you think will trade their middle linebacker for Ruud ?Now tell me how many will you trade Ruud for.The team is upgrading wanting a better player is not a sin,dont you cry about wanting an upgrade over Morris,same thing only I dont hate Ruud just dont like his soft play
