Bad luck! First IR with the Bears then here. Most players go their entire careers and never go on IR once yet alone twice. Good luck Rod! Go TB!

Well i think that Heyward jsut needs that opportunity. I believe that he can be a very big contributor if given the chance.

On the subject of a Heyward, what's the consensus on picking Iron Head's kid to shore up the defensive line next year? He appears to have the leave it all on the field mentality of his dad!

The first pick that the Bucs have should be used on Ndamukong Suh, period. The man is a monster. Cameron Heyward could be had in later rounds but there are other DE's that the Bucs should look at before him; Jerry Hughes, Von Miller, Sergio Kindle from Texas. But maybe in a later round he would be good. either way this draft needs to be all defense. They really need to focus on D-Line and CB.

I agree that the BUCS top pick should be a boy named Suh. He won't fall below 3rd overall though, which means I'm cheering for the Bucs to prove they can win, but not end up winning. If this happens though, the losses are going to fall on the coach.
Hmm, what to do, what to do??
I think I'll just watch reruns of the Bucs vs Packers game each week to keep my spirits up. So forgive me if my posts for the rest of the year are: "can you believe Freeman led us back in the 4th quarter yet AGAIN!"

Suh should be the man! When was the last time the Bucs had anybody even worth of respect at DT? (2003) But before that happens we need to dump Jim Bates. It is far easier to find players to fill a tampa-2 scheme than Bates' scheme... not to mention we'll fet far better results!
