Looking for Ronde’s successor? Biggers looks to fill the role.

Lets summarize Ronde Barber shall we? Sure Tackler. Nose for the Ball. E.J. Biggers makes a TD saving tackle of Ricky Williams with Miami inside the Bucs 5 yard line, holding them to a FG. Then when Tyler Thigpen laid the ball on the ground, there was Biggers to scoop it up, a la #20. Lets check that out in HD shall we…

In coverage Biggers is no slouch either, as he held Brandon Marshall without a catch the couple times he was lined up against him, including breaking up a pass.

He was playing at a high level last year when he was asked to do something he didn’t really do that often, play a cover corner roll. Now that he is back in his system again, looking back to the QB, Barber is going to excel one more time. Especially since he probably knows this is his last year; The Bucs are no doubt going to want to get Biggers on the field more, and that may even happen this year a little. Its only Preaseason game one, but EJ Biggers has made his case for the starting nickle back, and Myron Lewis will have to duke it out with Elbert Mack for dime back duties.
