I hope the rock star finds a way somehow get Dion Jordan and a decent corner in the first round. Re-sign Michael Bennett and then sign his brother, cut Wright. Can never have too many athletic dlinemen and Jordan could add a dangerous element to the defense.

An aging and nearly over-the-hill DE in Osi isn’t going to cure the Bucs. While we’re at it, why not get Dwight Freeney, too?

There are some quality speedier pass rushers that should be available during free agency… and Werner is far from the only good collegiate DE that will be available in the draft.

Unrestricted free agents… other than Bennett that might be worth signing:
Michael Johnson-going into 5th year, physically perhaps among the elite in the NFL. Great frame and speed, good production. Should break the bank.
Connor Barwin-plays OLB in the 3-4, but was a collegiate DE, for one season, before was a TE. Very good speed and good production. Going into 5th season.
Cliff Avril-still fairly young, good speed, pretty good production.

Then there are the older guys like Freeney, Osi, and a few others that we probably should stay away from.

In the draft, this is a pretty good year for DEs. After Werner, there’s the SEC guys: Sam Montgomery, Damontre Moore, Barkevious Mingo, and outside the SEC there’s Alex Okafor, Dion Jordan, and Ezekial Ansah. All are likely first rounders and all are known as speed/edge rushers that can put instant heat on QBs.

Can’t spin that HAND, nice word
Fact is it doesn’t matter what the
Packs record was last year they still broke that record last year and they weren’t that much better than ours is this year. Seems like a record that’s going to be repeatedly broken here now with passing attacks becoming more and more potent in the NFL.

Great idea!! Let’s just spend a 1st rounder on another pass rusher if we fail to re-sign a very good one that we ALREADY HAVE (Michael Bennett). Let’s lose a proven guy for another unproven 1st rounder when we’ve been horrendous on defense for the past 5 years! Let’s do that instead of drafting a cornerback!

My thing is, if the Packers were most recently the worst pass defense in the NFL with a legit pass rusher in Mathews and a DB corp of Charles Woodson, Tramon Williams, Sam Shieslds, and Nick Collins, it kind of doesn’t seem all that big of a deal. That is a stupid talented line up, yet they managed about the same as the Bucs’ horribly under talented team has.

For the cheerleaders who are spinning (perhaps) the Bucs march to the worst pass defense in 93-years by invoking the Packers, you guys do know what the Packers record was last year, right?

Stop spinning you bunch of Sean Hannitys

SteveK:

You are spinning. Worst pass defense in the 93-year history of the NFL. Period.

Repeat that about 10 times.

No Joe…if this were Philly, the fans would be screamin for the head of the architect of this “nightmare” of a secondary. We’ve spent premium picks all over the dline and this is what we have to show? No..its time to get rid of this “rockstar” and get a real NFL GM.

“Only Sean Hannity would try to spin that into something less galling.”

But on a serious note… It’s notthe taxes… it’s the spending that needs to be cut.

Repubs tax plan would net ~20 billion, while the Dems plan would net ~40 billion… HOWEVER, the country is spending OVER 1 TRILLION in excess anually.

So the taxes being raised will count towards between 2% or 4% of the total yearly deficit depending on which plan gets implemented.

As you can see, the got dang debate over the past 2 years should have NEVER, EVER been about taxes on 2% of the population… it’s meaningless either way, it should have been on SPENDING.

Go Bucs.
