Let’s be real, Wright is better than Lewis.

Look at the worst four teams in pass defense in 2011 according to NFL.com:

29. New York Giants (9-7, Super Bowl Champs)
30. New Orleans Saints (13-3, NFC South Champs)
31. New England Patriots (13-3, AFC Conference Champs)
32. Green Bay Packers (15-1, NFC North Champs)

Why can four teams with a combined record of 50-14, all division champs and including the two Super Bowl representatives, be the four worst in the league at pass defense?

Because they all had dynamic offenses that made teams play from behind.

So why all of the complaining? Frankly, I think that’s some pretty damn good company.

Routt is junk.

I was 3 rows back during the Kansas game and both Jackson and Williams ate his lunch all game long. The only time he was close enough to take a PI penalty was when Williams took the ball away from him on the 70 yarder.

He is terrible. Not Myron Lewis terrible but not worth picking up either.

I get it, Myron Lewis is a bad corner. It’s not like Eric Wright is any better. At least Myron Lewis is cheaper. It doesn’t matter who we have at corner when they are forced into man coverage every play. We would need Darrelle Revis for our pass defense to work.

Joe at this point a pedestrian coming off the street is an upgrade to our secondary.

Routt isn’t that bad in coverage I mean just look at the game against the bucs. He played well our guys just played better against him. We are just starting to click and could be pushing for the playoffs and I see NO reason not to shore up the one and only true weakness on our team even if it costs the owners some money I mean they did go all in this year in free agency…..

Hey Routt isn’t the best corner in the league clearly, but he is way better than that joke they call Myron Lewis! If they can get him cheap enough and get rid of Lewis in the process i’m all for it! As much as we have been shredded all year anything at this point is an upgrade at corner.

Gus:

Think about it a moment: Scott Pioli and Romeo Crennel are fighting for their careers. If they don’t think Routt can help them, exactly why should Dominik — or Bucs fans — think Routt can help the Bucs? That’s dumpster diving.

Brad, I had the dame response as Booger. The game shouldn’t have been close. The coverage was pretty bad.

Joe, while digging up information on Routt and why he was released, I found out a couple things…first, the fans in Kansas City are upset over the move to release Routt… and some of them are even shocked. They use the term “solid” in his overall performance, and that perhaps he was merely a scape goat. Lets just say judging Routt and the fact that he was cut from the worst team in the NFL, perhaps isn’t entirely fair considering the organization as a whole is an absolute train wreck. Second, they play 3-4 defense in KC, and supposedly Routt is 4-3 corner.

Point is, for the money KC offered him, both over the 3 years and his guarantee 4 million up front, they must of thought something of him, right? Some guys just need a fresh start elsewhere. Love to see him playing in a Bucs uniform.

Leave it to Booger and Rich to make a win feel bad. How ridiculous!! They’ve been harping for 3 shows that they disagree with cutting Tslib and that by making that move its telling the players we don’t want to win this year. It’s bad enough hearing all the negative crap after a loss but I’m going to enjoy this win like I did last weeks. I believe our offense is something special and can cover for our bad secondary till they have time to figure it out, whether that’s this year or next. Booger needs to chill and come down from his high horse. Relax and enjoy the teams success and continued growth.

@Joe. Horrible reason to not want a player. Just because he is on a team thats struggling doesn’t mean he cant help us. If Revis was released by the Jets(I know its not ever gonna happen) and they were 0-8 would we still not want him…..
