Stylez White Thinking About Moving On
December 31st, 2010
He has been dogged (more like a good ribbing) by his head coach since the summer. He was finally benched for a lack of production last week.
Given the fact Bucs rock star general manager Mark Dominik has already gone on record talking about a deep defensive end draft class as early as last year, the stars are not pointing favorably for defensive end Stylez White, so reports eye-RAH! Kaufman of the Tampa Tribune.
“I’m thinking about going out with a bang,” said White, who doesn’t have a contract for the 2011 season. “I won’t be thinking about it before the game, but I’m a human being and it’s been on my mind. I’d love to finish my career here, but if it doesn’t happen, I won’t have any regrets.”
Stylez’s season smells an awful lot of Chris Hovan’s last season. Stylez, who has 4.5 sacks this season and none since November, is a veteran at a position where the Bucs sorely need an upgrade, much like Hovan was last year.
Unless the Bucs win along with the Bears and Redskins Sunday, Stylez may be in his final game as a Bucs defensive end.
That’s OK with Stylez, suggests Kaufman. It appears, per Kaufman, that Stylez is acting like the Saints game may be his final Bucs game.

He’s been dreadfully awful against the pass in the respect he’s paid to get sacks. He’s older. He’s gone.

BucFanJeff …
Thats true … But take a look at his Run D
A fact that many will dispute, but is the total truth ..
The Bucs have yet to replace Gaines Adams .. No DE has been as productive as him in the last 3 years .. I think he had about 6.5 sacks each year. I think Wilk topped out at 5.5 last year
Ryan Kerrigan Please!!

@jvato24
Ryan Kerrigan is a poor man Chris Long, and Long is not all that.
White should be regretting not giving its all during practice and getting all the young players in track. Maybe someone will put some fire on his @ss and he becomes decent once again, too bad that tis team is too young to keep underachieving veteran players

Let him go…
If you can’t produce big numbers in a contract year, when will you do it?

I think Teen wolf needs to go only 4.5 sacks going into the last game of the season in his own words he predicted @ least 10. I don’t see him getting to Brees 5.5 times sunday don’t get me wrong I’d love to. Master your craft or end up as a doorman @ the Bada Bing

Well….if we let him walk, we better actually REPLACE him and get someone that’s gonna contribute. Last year we let Jimmy Wilkerson walk, and just replaced him with Kyle Moore who I knew wouldn’t do a damn thing this year. They better not do another thing like that if they let Stylez walk.

See ya, Greg! Never cared for your lack of ability anyway.
He’s always been sub-par…average. Nothing more. We need beasts on this team now.
