Nice play, but its a “f*cking soldier”, not warrior.

Don’t forget Dekoda Watson.

As for the “fans” bashing the choice of getting a punter…. Damn, Field position is HUGE in football… We needed one bad, we’ve been through 6 punters in two years… I LOVED this move.

Just because they didn’t go after big names in F.A. Doesn’t mean poo-poo. I like what the bucs have… And apparently, so do the Bucs. See ya in the playoffs!

This kid was a beast!

P.S. Anyone can see Tyrone beating out Foster for the starting job. Read it here first, please..

Tyrone Mackenzie beats out Foster for the Starting mlb job. Heard it here first!

Blount, Williams, benn, Freeman, Penn, Joseph, price, McCoy, clayborn, black, Taleb.

He is right. Break out the checkbook!!! I remember when we opened the wallet for Alvin Harper!!(oops) I mean Bert Emanuel!!(oops), I mean Albert haynesworth!! (oops), I mean Randy moss!! Next thing you know you’ll tell me they didn’t sign Rudd because of money even though we just gave 20 million to a punter!!!

That tells you all you need to know about how the bucs feel about Barrett Rudd!!

Umm….they’re moving on from players who are as Charmin soft in favor of competition between a promising rookie (Mason Foster) and a vet thumper (Tyrone McKenzie). Ruud’s only real upside was his intelligence and ability to call a defense. But it didn’t help much when he was always being eaten by a blocker or on his back. When you look at his tackle numbers, remember you still get credit for a tackle even when it takes you 5 yards to do it.

As far as what they’re doing overall, they’re building a young team the smart way – through the draft. Short-sighted fans will always whine about the lack of “splash moves” but the fact is we have an incredible amount of young talent on both sides of the ball, and we need the cap room for when they need extensions. We just re-signed Quincy Black and Davin Joseph, and Freeman, Mike Williams, Arrelious Benn, LeGarrette Blount, Gerald McCoy, Aqib Talib (depending on off-field issues), Cody Grimm, and some of our young guys on the O line (and hopefully our two new DE’s) are all going to need extensions in the next 2-3 years. Because of our discretion right now, we’re going to be able to hang onto those guys and achieve SUSTAINED success. It’s a great time to be a Bucs fan.

I was hoping the Bucs could have signed Ruud to a one- or two-year deal. Raheem earlier this week sounded like he would be down. Mark Dominik did not.

Maybe we go get Nick Barnett or even Channing Crowder. (Or Angelo Crowell! Surely the third time would be the charm.)

Then again, the brass seems high on Tyrone McKenzie and Mason Foster.

Are there any more specialists we can break off record deals for?
