I'll be very surprised if we spend a high pick on the defensive side of the ball. It's possible, of course, as we'd like to get bigger on that interior...

How about a young Moss (either Santana or Randy), or a young Owens, the idea of another Joey "the Groin" Galloway scares me. Ish "James, Leo"...
...damn, just how many offsides are we going to get nailed with today? Score is close at 13-10 by halftime. Neither team is too impressive. The Broncs aren't...
One thing I noted was the drive we were getting going and they called pass interference on Clayton. He was blocked into the man, how is that interference?...
One thing that's adding to the frustration for me is seeing how well ex-Buccaneers are doing. Not only were Hape and Lynch put- ting up highlight plays in our...

Yeah I couldn't believe they called that a penalty against Clayton. (That hurt us. Maybe Payback for the flukey TD.. They said it had to do with the longer...
Sigh... Observations from the Bucs/Broncos game 10/03/2004 1) The last time the Bucs went 0-4 to start a season it was 1996. Tony Dungy was in his first year...
Clayton's a player. He's already an upgrade from Keyshawn simply because he wants to be a Buccaneer. I agree that bright days are ahead for this defense....

I agree with most of what you said, but... I don't see how McCardell allows us to attack deep zones. He's not a speed guy, he's a possesion guy (like everyone...
I hear you. :-) And, if we were to find a young Randy Moss, we'd take him. But, Gruden would kill to get a young healthy Galloway (who had legit 4.3 speed...

Ok, let's not lose our minds here. You can put "Rich McKay" (who I have the utmost respect for) and "the 4-0 Falcons" in the same sentence but that doesn't...

The people McKay drafted and signed are more numerous in Tampa than in Atlanta. Look at the playmakers in Atlanta, who did Rich bring in? Note: I am NOT...
I would agree on McCardell not being a burner or anything but from the slot he has the ability to exploit zones that are 15 to 20 yards downfield. He made a...

Speaking of Galloway...I was listening to Clayton's Friday radio show (yes, he does have his own radio show), and he was talking about what the loss of...
McKay is a great GM because he's got principals that he sticks to. However, his way isn't the only way to win. It's easy, now, to bash Jon but I firmly...

yeah, letting Turley go last year was a real stroke of genius for McKay... The man (McKay) has one of, if not THE best eye for defensive talent in the league....
No one is perfect. Not Jon Gruden. Not Tony Dungy. And, not Rich McKay. Tony's orientation comes from playing for the 70's Steelers. He admits that he...

Well it's official, Chris Simms is starting QB against NO. Maybe this will rejuvenate & motivate our offense. Who knows... we need something. Todays paper...

Good observation. If he's good enough and if Jon starts him, maybe we'll get some time. I think the QB change was based upon the lines inability to pass...

C'mon. That wasn't a case of New Orleans giving the game. I believe the Bucs did win this one. They forced two crucial turnovers on Defense and Griese TD pass...
