I agree the bucs should be looking at linebacker help not tackles. Their solid at tackle if McCoy and price stay healthy and with bowers and Claiborne having a year under their belt they will start getting more pressure on opposing QBs, but as good as foster is, he’s too young to be running the D from middle linebacker. Should of brought Barrett ruud back at a discounted price to run the middle and move foster back to OLB.

Bucs need major D line help. No pressure on QBs last season. The CBs are solid now with wright. More pressure on QBs = less work for the CBs and safeties. Ronde will be more effective that way also.

Bears fans should feel the same about Okoye. That kid is still only 25 and he is a shredded man for his size. He played very solid and still has major upside. Hoping for the last minute hail mary that the Bears get him back but anybody should be happy if their team gets him.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the Eagles let this guy walk and draft a DT with the 15th pick.

Landri is very underrated. We gotta keep him. He made some very impressive plays last.

Landri was probably the Eagles 2nd best DT last year behind Cullen Jenkins. Granted, Mike Patterson had serious issues with his brain in the preseason, so no one can blame him. However, it was probably the reason Landri played so much, and passed Trevor Laws on the depth chart.

A lot of analysts have us drafting a DT, but why? Just resign this dude and draft freaking Top notch red zone WR (Floyd or Jeffery) OR a big time safety (Barron out of Alabama). Either way, the Eagles have wasted A LOT of early draft picks the past few years, and I hope they don’t waste another one when we have a quality player in Landri to play DT.

If the Eagles are smart they’ll resign Landri before somebody else does.He played great last year.

I’d disagree about the comment that Price hasn’t lived up to the pre-draft reports of his ability. When he has been in there, the guy is a wrecking ball. Unfortunately his injuries have slowed him down and he hasn’t been on the field as much as they wanted. I agree the Bucs need to make a move here, but if Price can recover from that terrible surgery, look out!

I.hope the Eagles get him back because when he was in the game last year he was blowing up the backfield. He seemed to be making something happen when given the chance. If the Eags let him get away it will be a mistake.

We need to resign Landri.Man is a hell of a back up player.

They need to be talking with Middle LB’s so they can move Foster back to OLB where he is most experienced.

DT wasn’t the most glaring need for the Buccaneers given the return of Price and McCoy.

Brian price was playing injured last year.. read up about the kid he had to have surgery to have some muscles reattached to his pelvis.. he actually played pretty decent last year hopefully he can return 100% this year and show everyone why he was a 2nd round pick

All Eagles fan should want Landri back, he’s a great rotation player. Anyone who gets him is lucky.
