WR PRESTON PARKER ALSO PLAYING SAFETY FOR BUCS

[PewterReportSR]

Tampa Bay rookie Preston Parker made the team as an undrafted free agent as a wide receiver and kick returner. But with injuries at free safety, Parker was moved to defense for three weeks and he got a quarterback pressure on a blitz on his lone defensive snap last week.

Interesting. Not sure I'm in love (or even like) with the idea though. My gut seems to think we'd be better off with one of the new safeties playing that role, but I guess if it's an emergency, it is what it is.

The kid's definitely a gamer. His aggressiveness shows up all over the field.

many a WR has been turned into a  DB so it isn't that unusual and with the WR talent ahead of him this might be his best chance to make the Buc's roster in the future.

   Sounds like that could be a smart move for him as well as the team. If Briscoe is the real deal, the numbers are against Parker; he's not gonna see the field much as a WR. I'm also betting Tanard Jackson won't be back in a Buc uniform...

And if he can figure the position out, he'll have better hands than your average safety. It'll be interesting to see if this goes anywhere. He's definitely athletic enough to pull it off.

Raheem loves playing Madden. I bet his rating skyrockets when you switch his position. I wonder if Lorig is better at FB, TE or DE?

I am willing to bet Tanard will be back.  He can hit, he can ball hawk, he is a very very good safety, and the ost interchangeable, IMO.

His suspension will hamper his contract chances anywhere he goes...so my bet is he stays in Tampa.  If he bombs out again, which is apparently a very high possiblity at this point, he is banned, and the BUcs go back to their depth charts.  Tanard is still young, and won't cost a lot.  His contract will be loaded with incentives based on playing time, no matter where he goes.  He is stuck in that.

I would really like to see Tanard and Grimm on the field at the same time.  REALLY woulod like to see that.

Some people (you) just try way to hard...

I bet your stupid enough to think that because Parker was originally signed to play WR that its all he has ever played in his entire life.
