Actually the problem isnt that Freeman stinks. He is average. He puts up good numbers just often enough to make you think he is better than he is. Bad and great are convincing. But mediocre makes you live with the delusion for too many years. He is just good enough to waste our time and not good enough to get us where we want to go.
You go Ian! “You Need To Give The Money Back” November 7th, 2011 Former Bucs guard Ian Beckles (1990-1996) didn’t hold back his disgust with the Buccaneers this morning on the WDAE-AM 620 airwaves.
You go Ian! “You Need To Give The Money Back” November 7th, 2011 Former Bucs guard Ian Beckles (1990-1996) didn’t hold back his disgust with the Buccaneers this morning on the WDAE-AM 620 airwaves.In no particular order:*Beckles went off on the Bucs running a “counter” play on 4th-and-1 in the first quarter, in disbelief that the Bucs are inept in short yardage.this and the QB run by JJ along with a couple other straight up head scratchers.*Quincy Black is a “terrible football player,” Beckles said, calling Black worse than former Beckles punching bag Barrett Ruud. Black is worse, per Beckles, because “Ruud tackled.” Beckles implored Black to void his $11 million guaranteed contract he scored in the offseason. “You need to give the money back. You suck.”ive said this for years now, glad most everyone has come around.*Beckles blasted the Bucs heirarchy saying, “We’re just saving money. That’s all we’re doing.”there is now a cap floor and it will be hard floor soon, this argument is almost completely over as they wont have a choice. They have close to $100mil commited to the cap now.*The Bucs don’t fly to the ball at all, evident on Saints successful screens.very rarely do they attack the ball and the lack of solid, wrap up tackling just makes it worse*Beckles struggled to define yungry. “200 yards [allowed on the ground. That’s not yungry,” Beckles said. “Punching someone in the face on a dead ball. I guess that’s yungry.”Blount did snap and cost the team, but it wasnt a punch. It was a shove to the face. Id personally demonstrate the difference to Beckles if hed let me.*LeGarrette Blount running out of bounds to finish a long run with a defensive back to beat left Beckles in disbelief.This is nitpicking due to the face shove. Blount was only hnded the ball 13 times in one game. Despite his size and power, hes not a straight up run you over type of back. He wasnt the 2nd most elusive in the NFL last year by just running over people. Its not his style and a reason why hes struggled with short yardage. Beckles being a former player should be able to reconize this, but he cant for some unknown reason.*As usual, Beckles was flummoxed to figure out why the Bucs don’t run more.Beckles is most always flummoxed in regards to anything that doesnt involve sucking at G.joebucsfan.com
You were simply too smart for me.
I still think we will add a MLB next year with a top 15 pick and move Foster to WLB. We will start Watson at SLB and keep Hayward around as a B-up for all three positions.
