Not that the lockout has ended, I only have one more wish for this offseason – to stop talking about Barrett Ruud. I don’t really care if we sign him or not, I just want him to sign with someone so we can stop wasting our time talking about an average at best player. My goodness, as much as we discuss him, you would think we have Ray Lewis on our team! I have never once heard his named uttered as a top tier LB by anyone. At best, he is a good player. I’m sorry, but good players don’t help teams win multiple games per season in the ultimate team sport.

Capt. Tim,

Please stop saying we ran a 3-3-5 defense a lot last year. We ran it on some passing 3rd downs, and only when Quincy Black was healthy. It’s not even close to a defense we ran with regularity.

I’m not calling for Grimm to replace Ruud, just saying he has proven thus far to be a good tackler without fear. McKenzie should replace Ruud unless Foster can take the job. I hope they re-sign Hayward and he can also play MLB if needed.

I’m with Ian Beckles on this issue all the way.

Mauha Deeb, I think you nailed the Eric the Kweer is Thomas the Dumbass. I don’t know why they/he even come here. I know I have lobbied against Ruud but I want what is best for the team as well as what is attainable. I think we can do much better at MLB and almost immediately. Replacing Raheem and Dominick is not only unattainable, but stupid, just like bringing back Chucky would be. This Thomeric’s ongoing argument that will not happen any time soon, but he has to continuously suck on it. Cody Grimm isn’t that much smaller than Ruud and his arms are probably bigger. Cody was a LB in college and isn’t afraid of contact like Barrett, and canning Ruud is a likely possibility.

I will say again that if Ruud comes back as the MLB, I will support him like any other Buc untill he screws up so bad that he has to be benched. If not and he’s here, I hope he has a probowl caliber season that we can all be proud. Somehow I don’t see that happening.

Like I wrote on my site this offseason, we got the best of the Barber brothers. Ronde is a nice guy, who refused to say anything ill of Gaines Adams, saying instead that he has what it takes.
Ronde…is a great guy.

I said it after the presser yesterday and I still think it’s a possiblity…Mark signed Foster quickly to give him strength in the Ruud discusions. If they cannot reach an agreement, then fine, but I think that was the reason for the rapid signing.

im pumped for our defense this year

and im still hoping that this dominik doublespeak is just vying for contract leverage with ruud, however if it is not, then i know we will have a good plan.

i really do hope price can at least start to come in in rotations with miller towards the begining of the season. i would love that.

I am going to jump off of tim for a minute,his corner is waving the towel. Eric what happened to you, you used to be my favorite poster on this message board. You used to be funny and witty. Lately you just sound like troll trying to start a fight. Whether you like it or not eric as long as we have freeman this team will be good. Step your game up, your posts have been crap for months now. Smile our favorite team is on the up and up and a few idiots like you and thomas can do nothing to stop it.

Something to bare in Mind … If Ruud moves on and is successful similar to his recent years with the Bucs I have heard we would be in range possibly for a 4th – 5th round supplemental draft pick.

The Bucs traded next seasons 4th rounder for Stocker.

Dominik is always looking ahead, and if Ruud Goes it will help in some ways.

Okay, so Eric just used the word “sheep”. No one else uses that word in the comment sections other than Thomas. I’m calling it out that Eric and Thomas are one in the same.
