I don’t need to “know” anyone. I know this team is going the wrong way, because we are still rebuilding after 5 years. Because we haven’t been to the playoffs in years. Because we have the worst pass defense in recent history. Because we have let starters leave, from the number one run defense- and have absolutely no one to replace them. Because we still don’t know if or QB is a franchise QB or not. Because no unit on this team has depth.

Because after 5 seasons, we are still NFC south cellar dwellers. Last place. No progress

Why do you have such joyful optimism, for a last place team?

After 5 years if Rebuilding- shouldn’t we have built something?

he has made mistakes in the past, and realizes it. it is nice that he gets some return on some misses, though the sour pusses here will nag about missing in the first place. no one gets all their picks right.

there are plenty of teams worse off than the bucs. they are improving. sorry most of you don’t agree with their method, but you are not privy to their plan…unless you know 1976buc’s “tailor”.

I have a bad gut feeling that Dominick is saving cap room to give Freeman a huge contract this offseason. I mean, would you be surprised at all if he did??!! I wouldn’t!

Price just got a freak injury.

Clayborne and Bowers are gonna have their year to shine. nice combo picks. Risky, but worth the risk.

Barron, Martin, and David were 3 great picks.

Yes, he has made some bad moves and picks.

But overall, compared to other GM’s.

I think Dom is in the top 10 at this point.

EJ Biggers- nice 7th round pick
Blount-nice UDFA
Mike Bennet-great UDFA
Donald Penn-nice UDFA
Mike Williams – great 4th round pick
Zuttah-nice pick

Benn and Myron Lewis are two diva biotches. Too bad Schiano wasnt around then. He wouldve seen through them.

Nowadays? Only hars workers will come to Tampa! I guarantee that!
We have to keep a balanced perspective. He has been hot and cold. But I like the approach. This next draft will be make or break.

Of course he swung and missed on Price, Benn, Miller, etc, and jury still out on Free. Winslow was a fiasco. Ward, Clayton, etc.

But as far as understanding how to build an overall team…………horrific failure. He gets all keyed up on one area and saturates it. He may do that with corners this year.

Schiano in control cant be any worse, but I dont see his resume as having any experience building an NFL roster………..man couldnt build a roster to win Big East.

Aren’t D-line the high dollar expensive items? Not friggin safeties?

It’s amazing how often this “plan” changes. First- no free agents. We build thru the draft, a keep our guys! Period.

Then, it’s ” we build a core thru the draft, and add just a few free agents- at key spots, to get us in the playoffs. But no matter what- we will resign our guys that perform well!!! Period!!

So what is it now? We will overpay for position that aren’t really areas of need. But we will not pay market value toour our guys that perform well( top run defense/leader in sacks), because there is a grocery store if cheaper free agent out there!! We don’t our guys. Period!!

I think that Schiano and Dom are gonna unleash a new defense on the league.
Since Dom can’t draft( or keep) D-linemen or cornerbacks( Myron Lewis? Eric Wright?), I believe they are going to play with only Linebackers and safeties. Don’t put anyone on the line. Stay back 10 yards, and whoever crosses the line with the ball- everybody knock the heck out of them!

Can’t be anymore embarrassing that last years secondary.

Will Dominik get an opportunity to grow as a GM and learn from past mistakes or are posters going to continue to crush him for poor decisions he made his first couple of yrs as a GM? The man has made mistakes like all GMs but to me it looks like he’s learning from them
