Official Bucs Off season thread ....
Posted: Tue Jan 5, 2010 12:29 am
Well, I knew it would be a disappointing season. Bucs went through 2 QBs before Freeman, went through 3 kickers, fired OC 10 days before start of season. Fired DC half way through the sesaon. Won 2 of last 3 games that put us out of race for DT Ndamkong Suh
I still think Morris should be fired, I see no reason for him to stay HC. The Bucs should have left him as DC and brought in a coach.
There's been rumors that Cowher will and won't coach in 2010. My personal preference's for HC
1. Cowher
2. Shanahan (going to Redskins)
3. Billick
4. Lovie Smith( if fired)
What makes Bucs attractive for a new HC,
Warm weather team, fairly young team, appears to have found its franchise QB, has 5 picks in first 99 picks in the draft.
Players need to be re -signed;
Antonio Bryant(wants to stay, if not re-signed I'd try to trade for Boldin)
Barrett Ruud(wants to stay)
Cadillac Williams(wants to stay)
Donald Penn
Personally I'd sign them all. I'd let Trueblood leave.
Bucs have money to spend and need DE and CB help Vet QB, could fix all in FA.
I'd go hard after CB Dunta Robinson and DE Adewale Ogunleye(Bears have Alex Brown, Mark Anderson, and just traded for Gaines Adams. They may not re-sign Ogunleye) Sign Chad Pennington for vet QB
My Bucs mock;
3rd pick - S Eric Berry
35th pick- WR Arrelious Benn
42nd pick- OT Ciron Black (replace Trueblood at RT)
67th pick - DE Corey Wooten
98th pick- LB- Perry Riely
153th pick- FB- Stanley Havili
162nd pick- OG- Brandon Carter
196th pick- P - Zoltan Mesko
New Bucs defense depth;
RDE Stylez White, Jimmy Wilkerson, Kyle Moore
LDE Adewale Ogunleye, Tim Crowder, Corey Wooten
LDT Roy Miller, Ryan Sims

MLB Barrett Ruud, Niko Koutouvides
SLB Quincy Black, Adam Heyward
CB Aqib Talib, Elbert Mack
CB Dunta Robinson, EJ Biggers
SS Eric Berry, Sabby Piscitelli
FS Tanard Jackson, Corey Lynch
K- Connor Barth
P- Zoltan Mesko
KR- Michael Spurlock
New Bucs offense depth;
QB Josh Freeman, Chad Pennington, Josh Johnson
RB Cadillac Williams, Derrick Ward, Clifton Smith(also punt returner)
FB Ernest Graham, Stanley Havili
LT Donald Penn, James Lee
LG Aaron Sears, Jeremy Zuttah
C Jeff Faine
RG Davin Joesph, Brandon Carter
RT Ciron Black, Demar Dotson
