BLUE 1,026 Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) Per Rotoworld.com: Free agents RG Davin Joseph and RT Jeremy Trueblood are both hoping to re-sign with the Buccaneers.Comprising the right side of the Bucs line for the past five seasons, Joseph and Trueblood have forged a strong bond. Although Trueblood lost his job to James Lee down the stretch, he's considered a better fit for new O-Line coach Pat Morris' power-blocking scheme. Joseph will be one of the better free agent guards available, so the Bucs will have competition for his services.

BucD+ 648 Posted June 22, 2011 Forget Trueblood. Re-signing Davin Joseph is a MUST! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RazorStar 4,025 Posted June 23, 2011 Must not... there's a reason the bucs had one of the worst offensive lines in the league, and Davin Joseph is not the exception on a terrible line, like a Lyle Sendelin or David Stewart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllYouNeedIsLovie 377 Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) I wouldn't say bringing back Joseph is a must, but I would like to have him back. I agree with getting rid of Trueblood though. James Lee is a lot better and took over Trueblood's spot last year. Edited June 23, 2011 by GoodellFTL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiLaSix9+ 398 Posted June 23, 2011 Umm, I don't know what the two of you are smoking but Joseph is definitely a must. He is one of the best offensive linemen we have. While I like Trueblood as a backup and a guy who can fill a void, he is expendable and we can due without. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RazorStar 4,025 Posted June 24, 2011 I really think you'd be better with Derek Hardman or Ted Larsen, they may not be great either, but they're still young and not overhyped. Joseph pretty much gets manhandled by whoever he faces, while Hardman was showing good signs near the end of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, he had a poor 2010 season but that doesn't make me forget about how great hes been otherwise since we drafted him. I think the nagging knee injury had a lot to do with his poor play this season.

BucD+ 648 Posted June 24, 2011 Ted Larsen at LG yes...definitely. But I think Joseph is our best option at RG and of course only at the right price. I think everyone on the OL will benefit greatly from the new OL Coach. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLUE 1,026 Posted June 25, 2011 Per Rotoworld.com: The Pewter Report predicts free agent G Davin Joseph will ultimately re-sign with the Bucs.The Report's Charle Campbell believes, "JosepPh may be the most likely (Buc) to get a lucrative multi-year contract, and that is what it will probably take to get a deal done." Joseph suffered his second broken foot in three years in 2010, but should draw strong interest on the open market.

BLUE 1,026 Posted July 18, 2011 Per Rotoworld.com: Re-signing RG Davin Joseph is expected to be the Bucs' No. 1 priority during the 72-hour window for teams to retain their own free agents.The Bucs believe the underachieving Joseph will be a better fit in new line coach Pat Morris' power-blocking scheme. Joseph often struggled in Pete Mangurian's zone system. To retain Joseph, the Bucs may have to pony up one of the richest contracts for an offensive guard in league history. They have plenty of cap space to do it, of course, and need to at least hit the salary floor. Jul 18, 2:02 PM Source: St. Petersburg Times Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shotgun 442 Posted July 19, 2011 I don't know about giving him one of the biggest contracts for a G in league history, he certainly isn't that good, but I hope he is back. I don't see us being able to replace him with someone better. Hopefully he improves under Pat Morris. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
