I don't think the Bucs will re-sign him unless his price is reasonable, which chances are it won't be. It's reported that Foster may take over the MLB spot next season. Barrett Ruud is a great team leader, and a very solid tackler. The problem with him is he does not cause splash plays, which the Bucs are all about. He racks up the tackles yet doesn't get many TFL, or tackles within 3 yards from the LOS. He's not someone that will get many INT's and his pass coverage is decent but suspect at times. When defending the run he typically doesn't tackle until the RB has already gone 3-8 yards. Again, not a splash play kind of guy. I would take all of this with a grain of salt however. He has played behind a horrid D-line for the duration of his tenure with the Bucs and that would obviously effect his game play. He's basically been the guy to get the RB after he runs pass the D-line because the D-line couldn't tackle worth a damn. I think if he played with a team like the Giants his true potential will shine.

It'll probably end up more like 4, but that's still kind of cool. Will make our inexperienced secondary/D-line look a little better perhaps.

Well they are honestly going about it in a realistic sense. A lot of teams spend a bunch of money in FA and either 1. Don't have enough to pay all their drafted superstars or 2. Get some FA busts that end up costing them down the line and holding the team back. They are going about it how teams should. Build most of the team through the draft, and sign a few FA's to some needed spots. Besides, this article makes it seem as though the Glazers don't go into FA at all. They've signed FA's the last 2 years and I think people forget how they reportedly offered Albert Haynesworth a little more money than even the Redskins did. They aren't against spending money there just hasn't been any big names worth giving the payouts they ask for, in spots the teams need to fill. In the last decade the only team to win the Superbowl because of a bunch of FA signing were the Saints. The only teams to even lose in the Superbowl that got big names through FA were the Seahawks and Cardinals. The biggest FA's on those 3 teams were their QB's. Correct me if I'm wrong but every other team's key players on offense and defense were from drafted to those teams. The Pats, Steelers, and Colts have been the 3 biggest and most consistent teams of the decade and most of their key players were drafted. I personally think if the Bucs draft this year went okay, and next years goes okay we could start spending money on some FA's and trading for players to go for that Superbowl run.

Falcons' 32 receptions for 20 yards or more yards tied ranked 31st in the NFL last season.
Shotgun replied to Turry's topic in NFC
I don't know about not being a bust. There's been plenty of guys that have gone threw the league and busted because of a serious injury. Barring injury though I don't honestly see the guy busting. Not just because he has all the skills but from what everyone has said that played with him he has a great work ethic, and that's what ultimately makes the difference between a boom and a bust. I still think they traded too much for him though. They needed to address some other things also. This one guy isn't going to get them to a superbowl, they didn't get their asses handed to them last year because they were missing a wide receiver, they just all played horrible. Their O-line couldn't block worth a damn, Matty Ice obviously melted under pressure, and their entire defense got ran over like a hummer hitting a row of ducklings. -
I guess that's what happens when people choose to be ignorant and share it with the world.
-
Good to see some players that aren't lazy when it comes to work ethic.

How dumb was this bitch? She's forgets where she parks her car, reports it stolen, finds the car, and doesn't think to let the police know?

Mayock in the booth would be so awesome. -

Legal robbery at it's finest. -
The way he runs they need to limit him. He already got injured last year. Dude won't last but a few more years like that.

Shotgun replied to Turry's topic in NFC
Damn I knew they had a dink and dunk offense, but that's just bad. I guess it's not that big of a deal for them though. They have a versatile offense and can move the ball down the field little by little very well. -
I don't get how people can have such a dream job and it takes something like this to "motivate" them. If he didn't want them to get someone that could replace him he should have been trying his hardest from the start. That's why people like Greene and L.T. are running in games while he's stuck at a reserve spot.

Yeah, screw McShay. Respect for Oher going directly at the guy instead of just talking about him "behind his back."(Even though twitter is public.) EDIT: Oh man, I just went on McShay's twitter. LOL at this guys comment:

Good attitude to have coming out as a rookie. Not everyone out there would openly express that they think they're the best. Now he just has to prove it.

Steelers fans to the rescue. Surprise, surprise. There's one thing to not like how people are cheering over a man's death it's another to be a complete retard and say things like: and He clearly chooses to be skeptical that maybe it didn't happen how it did when Osama ADMITTED TO IT.

Maybe because he's the cause of THOUSANDS of American deaths, and THOUSANDS more all around the world. I'm sure if Mendenhall had a family member killed in one of this guys orchestrated attacks he'd hate the man too. People are such fucking hypocrites when they aren't affected by something. LOLWUT. I swear I have officially lost all respect for this man.

Only one word can express how stupid this is. FAIL.

After making Mark Ingram cry, Suzy Kolber takes some criticism

Yeah when I seen that I thought it was kind of messed up. That should have been something private for him. Typical douche reporter move. -
Bin Laden calls Obama 'powerless' in Afghan war
Shotgun replied to SteVo's topic in Politics, Religion & Science
Well what he says does ring true. Even killing him won't stop the war, someone will always be there to take over. -
There are so many articles where I'm just going "DUUUUHHHH" right after the draft, it's kind of ridiculous.
-
The bust section for me is more about players that won't live up to their draft position. I'm not saying he's going to be a complete bust per say, it's just there are things about him I don't like and he's going to be way overshadowed by Suh.

According to what the Prez just said it was done today.
