I think it’s amazing that anyone can even remember our CB’s names.

I remember hearing, and saying the same things about Brian Kelly in his first 2or3 years in the league. Maybe EJ isn’t a # one corner, but he’s sure a lot better than some of you give him credit for. The man was a 7th round pick after all. Everyone we draft does not have to be a pro bowler, like some of you think.

Joe you’ve gone too far… I would never harm my 70inch flat screen over Lewis. I love that TV!

Not as much of a difference as people thought, huh?

Again people are being a little over Dramatic. I think Biggers is a solid back up and a few mental mistakes away from being a good starter. Now i am not saying he will ever be a star CB, but he does have talent. He has the speed and agility and covers very well in man. He is rarely out of position to make a play on the ball. But this is where his mental mistakes comes into play. If he makes a few of those INT he had his hands on we would be praising him right now. The only time he really ever gets burned is if he blows an assignment (which is rare) or the receiver just out muscled him to make the play.

Go watch film and really watch it. EJ is good, LJ will grow be better (potential stardom and Gaitor is a perfect fit for Nickel (reminds me of Rhonde in the early years).

I know why fans hate EJ.

Every pass that’s completed to the guy he is covering, he is RIGHT THERE. He doesn’t have the awareness or the internal clock to know to look for the ball. We hear the term “ball hawk” and he is not that at all and it’s a shame because he’s got the speed and the footwork to keep up with the guys he covers.

Joe are you high?? BIGGERS IS HORRIBLE. He gets beat deep even if he’s right in FRONT of a receiver!! Our pass defense has been near the bottom of the league the whole time he’s been here!

SacBucs, hang in there man. I feel your pain. I have felt like slapping a few posters through the screen before myself. I hope everything works out for you. I often go to the indoor gun range in the evening to reduce stress.

Except that the Rams weren’t a Super Bowl caliber team :/

I’m excited about this offseason!

Tough to get FA’s especially when competing with potential Super Bowl teams. Very few care to be part of a rebuilding project and that’s exactly what the Bucs have been since 2008. I hope we are finally on the right path! It’s been a long road!

Hey Joe,

I know fake trades are very unlikely and not worth taking about, but given the pressure for Rex Ryan to win, what would you think of this deal. I think it makes perfect sense for both teams.

Tampa sends Eric Wright (who we’re likely cutting anyway), Lagarette Blount (who I still think has a load of talent, but is out of favor in Tampa), and the Bucs first rounder in 2013 to New York for Revis.

This should free up cash for the Jets, give them a number 2 cb behind Cromartie, and give them an actual running back. Thoughts?

AND

Correction LB, we were the most aggressive team in the offseason for Finnegan’s services the best CB available last offseason and we all but had em till he decided to go with his old coach

How do you know we could have? How exactly do you know we didnt try? Just because we had the money? Lol, it takes 2 to make a deal. If he didn’t want to come here for whatever reason then he wasnt going to simple as that but dont try to act like you know exactly what the inner workings are.

Comparing a corner back that has 2 starting positions possibly 3 to 4 to a QB is absolutely assinine.

Do YOU know football at all? Lol.
