A new section Ill be bringing out next week fully….ever read a comment on a website and you just want to scream? Well get your pipes ready!
Just a couple to start off…
Im sorry…Didn't Tony Dungy and Shawn King appear in the NFC Championship game in 1999 holding the 'Greatest Show on Turf" to 11 points- only 6 with 4 minutes to go. What a joke that duo was!
Next from Pewter Report- Scott Reynolds SR5 touched on religion in his Fab#4 article which talks about how Lovie Smith's faith is helping the Bucs pick up free agents for normal salaries without having to overspend because these players WANT to play for Lovie. Of course when you bring up Christianity…
Here is an excerpt from the article….
The fact that experienced players like cornerback Alterraun Verner, 25, defensive end Michael Johnson, 27, defensive tackle Clinton McDonald, 27, tight end Brandon Myers, 28, and left tackle Anthony Collins, 28, are so young is a huge plus for Tampa Bay, according to Licht.
“I hope so, it sure would increase the chances of me having some longevity in my profession here, too,” Licht said. “It’s a big, big bonus that these players were young and some of them still haven’t hit their prime yet. To get a Pro Bowl cornerback, to get a Pro Bowl-level defensive end, to get a tight end that has similar production to Antonio Gates at their age is very exciting.”
I think that’s also the reason why Bears cornerback Charles Tillman wasn’t signed and why Bears return specialist Devin Hester isn’t a Buccaneer yet. Tillman, who re-signed with Chicago for one year on Friday, is 33, and Hester is 31 and the Bucs aren’t going to pay top dollar for guys in their 30s. That’s part of the reason why Joseph and Penn are gone. When the market comes down for Tillman and Hester then the Bucs will be interested in signing either one or both.
While the aim is to have as many young players in their prime on the roster, Tampa Bay isn’t opposed to having older veterans on the team, evidenced by new starting quarterback in McCown, who will be 35 this season.
