As I expect the Bucs to place the franchise tag on Barrett Ruud, he just so happens to be the next player up on our 2010 Bucs Lookback feature, which is coming to a conclusion very soon.
Ruud is well known to be a great Mike Linebacker vs the pass, its his run defense that has people divisive. What do you think? Here are some videos to help you decide for yourself.
The last is from our feature clip when 620 WDAE morning hosts Ron and Ian brought up his play where two 49er blockers threw him 8 yards. We let you decide on that one!
Ruud was a linebacker at Nebraska where he was drafted in the 2nd round of the 2005 NFL Draft. He sat behind Bucs Mike Linebacker Shelton Quarles until becoming the starter in 2007. Ruud has signed one year tenders recently, and has been seeking a long term deal for some time. He is now an unrestricted Free Agent.
