@Creamsicle,

Nobody is putting him in the ring of honor. That’s a huge exaggeration. However, he is a nickel back covering a top 10 WR in the league. So yes, it is good to hold him to no TD’s, no matter what. It’s not like they weren’t throwing at him once they got in the red zone. They did, and he defended it. I don’t really understand why a nickel back is covering an all-pro receiver, but he was. I’m sure White was probably thinking the same thing. So no, Biggers did not have a bad game, at least not relative to his position and who he was covering.

Wow, maybe we should enshrine Biggers into the Ring of Honor now and just get it over with…..

This reminds me of the Sabby talk…..before he actually got on the field and showed us what he actually was

I’m not saying Biggers is the new Sabby…..I’m not even saying Biggers shouldn’t be on the field…….what I am saying is he had a bad game last week….he was picked on and it worked. Give me a break with that passer rating nonsense or “at least he didn’t give up a TD.” If he keeps playing the way he did last Sunday it’s only a matter of time before he has a Tim Wansley type of night……..

To crown this kid our nickel back for the next 10 years when we’ve barely seen him play……just ridiculous

Mauha Deeb:

My numbers were off on White, I guess it was Jones that had 122, White had 140… but still, 9 catches for 140 yards and NO TDs and 1 INT on 17 targets is still doing a fantastic job on an all-pro WR. Ryan’s QB rating was 56.0 when throwing to White last week. If anybody thinks that a pretty good QB posting a 56.0 rating when throwing to an all-pro WR isn’t good for a player that was covering him man-to-man all day, then their opinion is completely invalid and they need to quit watching football. Normally, you seem pretty smart, look at the numbers again and tell me Biggers didn’t do a pretty damn good job.

Right Angelo, I was wondering if any of these other football-geniuses on this board would catch it… but only you.

As for Biggers, the same geniuses want to slam him but fail to realize that Roddy White had 17 targets in that game. Considering Ryan only completed 9 passes, threw one INT (regards of a Biggers deflection to Barber), and NO TDs when throwing towards White, the Bucs and Biggers did a fantastic job in regards to their coverage of White. Ryan’s QB rating when throwing to White (who was covered man-to-man by Biggers for the majority of the day) was a paltry 51.6.

Also, don’t forget, Biggers had two INTs of his own… yes both were out of bounds, but he was in good position had the ball been thrown in bounds.

Actually the Bucs were 10-6 in 1997, 11-6 counting playoffs.

One thing i noticed about Biggers. He is not a ballhawk, but he is normally in position to intercept at least 80% of the passes thrown his way. He has a certain knack for getting his hand in the receivers way to knock the ball down. He covers pretty well. How many passes defended did he get?

It’s that whole bend not break method Raheem always preaches. Any word on Myron Lewis and his injury or how he is looking in practice yet?

Biggers is a great nickelback and if we can find another elite starting corner I would be perfectly happy with Biggers playing the nickel for years to come.

I say first two rounds cuz I would love to see us draft an impact o-lineman in round 1 if one falls to us.

Ultimately we have gotten WAY MORE than our moneys worth out of Biggers already. I dont want him to be Barbers replacement when he retires. I also haven’t seen enough out of Lewis to believe he is the guy. I would like to see us draft CB in somewhere in the first 2 rounds next year.

flmike- How many 6’4″ cover corners are out there dude? Obviously your being a little sarcastic. Your right. Point is all you can do is stop those guys from singlehandedly destroying you. They cant be completely stopped all the time. Biggers does a good job of not allowing competing recievers to catch a bunch of TD’s on him per game. Even if he gives up some bend but dont break yardage.

I see it as this, until some one starts drafting 6’4″ cover corners guys like White, Megatron, Jackson etc are going to get their catches, it’s up to the corner to not allow any YAC when they do make the catch, and its up to the defense to not allow them in the endzone.
