Regarding Gilberry, a spade is a spade, remember? I was trying to tell some of you the dude can pass rush.

[usmc-buc]

20 pressures increased to 91 pressures. I would say that's an upgrade.

[Bucs N Beers]

Maybe that's why Raheem and Co. had Miller dropping into coverage on a jacked up knee - cause he can't pass rush. I dont see how Roy makes the team this year. With all the heat Price has taken recently, I'd be somewhat pissed if we traded/cut Price and kept Miller.

Miller won't fit the new defense. He was drafted to be a NT that can hold the point not pass rush, and the defense he was drafted to be used in was Bates. With the current D-line scheme the DTs have to penetrate. Bye miller? but he does fit the "Schiano way"

I told you we should have traded up for Terrence Knighton.

Would have been a good pick if he was there in the 4th. I never understood why the Bucs would draft a straight NT with 0 pass rush ability to play in a gap attack defense. Miller can be solid on short yardage plays when healthy.

And in selecting Knighton - who would have NOT been selected?

Let me start by saying I know nothing about Millers college career. However, going into Raheems second year Roy indicated that he was not that big place holding nt. I specifically remember an article where he said he was forced to gain weight to fit into the Bates scheme. He said in Rahs system he could loose weight and get back to plinth like he did in college. So if he gets cut its not because he can't pay in this system. He just isn't very productive.

Hindsight is 20/20 but wish we would have took M.Wallace. I remeber PR had a coupe article about M.Wallace before that draft and I really liked him. Nothing aginst Roy Miller but I dont think he sticks with the team this year.

[NotDeadYet]

   The guy I've heard nothing about in OTA's who if in shape is a good NT candidate is big FRANK (Okam). I seem to recall he has some pass rush skills too... But, if him AND Price both come into TC out of shape, Miller could make the squad. Otherwise, it'll take an injury or two for him to make it this year.

[Jr.3]

Who is the other DT we signed? Played at Rutgers, and last year he was a Ram, and is he  good at stopping the run?

[Al Bundy]

Gillberry has been a good pass rusher.

[NotDeadYet]

   Gibson is the ex-Rutgers guy from the Rams.

The Okoye and Gibson signings were because Roy Miller is awful. I'm disappointed in Miller, thought he would be a solid player in the middle of the line, definitely time to move on.
