Around SBN: The Week In Worst: When Baseball Goes Wrong

Why Ghost of the past affects the Bucs Future

Well, the answer to the headline is simple the bucs are trying to get back to what they were in order to succeed in the

Future . The only thing now is that we got stability at the QB position . When the Raheem Morris regime first started

Tampa personnel talked about getting back to BucBall . Obviously they took a different approach installing that outdated

defense with Jim Bates which made them draft players in 09 for that style defense . Now that we are back to Tampa2 the

Bucs are going to draft for the Tampa2 style defense . Going forward the Bucs are going to be looking for the Siemon Rice

type pass rusher someone who going to the sam impact Warren Sapp had down in the trenches and locker room .

When u think about it Bucs history is not that rich like Steelers or the Packers  ,Cowboys  , Raiders,or even the Giants

Redskins and Eagles . What we do got is a solid core look at How many head coaches has come from Dungy staff. 

about how  many Hall of Fame players we had in the  2000 Decade . Now we should break old habits try and do

something heck Tampa brought along the Bert Emanuel rule.They change the rules so DBs could not play wideouts

so close and make the game more fun, u know why ,when the Greatest show on turf was the greatest ,Tampa was

the team to exploit Mike Martz on defense in week 15 of the 2000 season on of the greatest Monday Night Football

games ever was Played Bucs and Rams with the Bucs coming out on top just how the Bucs did the year before in the

playoffs  but that game was the blue print to stop that offense ask Bill Belichick what he was doing to the 2001 Rams

in the Superbowl . When other NFL fans think about the Bucs they don't too much think about Leroy Selmon , Marcus

Jones or even Jeff Garcia , even though they might be respectable players the 2002 core is what people will never

forget, thats why the 2010 Bucs today are trying to get back to that Good ole BucBall . Look at a lot of approaches

teams take today it's the same thing they saw us do just to get respect in this league let an alone win a Superbowl. One

thing u hear Nfl experts say is that this league is a copy cat one why not copy something the Bucs created its that

simple . I am a die hard Buc fan that will never forget the glory days cause it was not to long ago the Bucs were in them glory days I remember seeing Warrick Dunn ball up in the endzone against a ferocious Dolphins D ( back then coached by Jim Bates ) and fight his way out I remember watching the A-train run in a pile he created backpedal out the pile and  run a long touch down against the Lions and will never forget Ronde Barber picking  off Donovan McNabb and getting Tampa over the hump against  philly in the playoffs . If u see where im coming from then in the offseason stay tune my blogs will tell u what direction Tampa is going in .

I agree

I think if the Bucs are going to get back into a Winning formula we will have to get those positions locked down…. We are already starting on a path the the previous Bucs teams didnt do which is secure a good QB… We have Talib to replace Barber if Talib can hire a personal drive to use as a punching bag…. We have Caddy to replace Dunn Graham to replace Alstott… We also have AB … If we could get him a SPEEDY wr which I do not knwo what the BUCS where thinking when they didnt go after DESEAN JACKSON and SUH or MCCOY will help opur D LINE are linebackers are pretty decent but they are going to have to kick it up a notch if they want to stick around…

Graham hardly replaces Alstott...

… but I see where you’re going with this. Maybe they can find a bruising FB later on in the draft. With the DL, S, CB, WR and OL needs, don’t use a high pick. Not sure who is out there as a F/A, but maybe look there. Got plenty of RBs to block for.

Main reason

The main reason I said he replaced him is because he followed the same selfless path to FB like Alstott

by Pareese Smith on Jan 12, 2010 2:54 PM EST up reply actions  

I wouldnt say Graham is small

Hes pushing 230, but yea Alstott looked like a FB. He also ran like a RB, so its not too hard to imagine a shorter RB with a lot of strenth and bulk becoming a FB. Especially since the big FB all they do is block is a dying art. Most teams are finding those half breeds who block/run/ and catch.

I agree Alstott just looked like he could hurt you

He was actually 6’ 1’’ 248 according to Yahoo sports. So he was much bigger then Graham, I still stand that Graham isnt small, and hes like a bowling ball. Also as I said size isnt everything, Graham can block, run, and catch. Thats a good FB, or H back. Especially since big FB that can run like a RB isnt something that grows on trees. Unless you want Tim Tebow.

EG has even said it during an interview that he was just not built to be a FB.

But he’s a selfless guy and did it for the team, gotta love the guy.

I now completely understand the term "Gooberville"

Old school FB yes, the new FB of the NFL is a half breed as I said before.

Selfless yeah... but not a pile mover like Alstott was.

I can’t imagine a scarier thought than being the only thing between Alstott and the goal line.

by Cracker Ball on Jan 12, 2010 3:40 PM EST up reply actions  

I was a Alstott fan as well

but the guy isnt as great as your making him out to be. I would take Cadillac any day.

Scary yes, but Id take Williams over Alstott any day.

Blasphemy

Don’t get me wrong, I like Caddy and I hope he stays here and has a great career, but he’ll never match the achievements that Alstott has. Still different positions so it’s really apples and oranges. Caddy will never have the highlight reel like Alstott has.

lol

Apparently there is some homerism going on from one of us. I agree Alstott has some awesome memories in TB running people over. I just dont think another Alstott is what we are looking for, Williams might not have the career like number 40 yet, but he sure has the potential and then some to put together a highlight reel that would look something like Rhett slash Dunn. Maybe he wont, but he has that kind of potential.

Well ofcourse Alstotts career is gonna be more rich. Williams still has a lot of time left to make up.

WELL Atleast

Atleast Caddy is in the HOF already… ok it is only his gloves and spike but it still an awesome achievement

by Pareese Smith on Jan 13, 2010 9:40 AM EST up reply actions  

Sadly... we do have a history.

I hope we can break from our history. Losing seasons, bad drafts and all around malaise. We have a great opportunity to make some good high choices in the upcoming draft, so lets cross our fingers and hope that goes well.

OK everybody… all together now, “Trade for Suh! Trade for Suh! Trade for Suh!”

by Cracker Ball on Jan 12, 2010 12:27 PM EST reply actions  

We also have a history of continued playoff berths.

All teams hit down teams, and most teams have a golden period when a lot seems to work. Bad drafts, sure, we havent hit on every pick, but youre forgetting 97-02 in terms of franchise success.

97 -02 is the history we have to get back too

I miss Tony dungy already...

Welp

Desean Jackson is one hell of a guy.

No I'm not... just want more of it.

Things are cyclical… I just don’t want to wait another 10 years for our pattern to revisit itself.
I remember, with great fondness, those successes of the late 70s and our eventual 97-02 Superbowl winning run. If not for some bonehead moves, we could still be near the top of the NFC elite.
