He's lost in the middle. It's just not working. But could he be salvaged if he lined up on the edge and just pass rushes and plays curl flat or manned up on a back. Something has to give because he sucks at MLB, Nelson might leave, Barrett might not be ready/efficient and JTS is a JAG
Definitely a bit perplexed they haven’t already tried him on the edge with Barret getting hurt this year and JTS struggling to finish. Tho Bowles isn’t the most creative coach in my opinion.
Would like some focus on players on the D-line and edge this FA agent period and draft.
Can anyone think of an example of a player who thrived after that kind of move?
@buccaneernw we’ll have to agree to disagree with Bowles. Sure he blitzes a ton and sometimes that equates to him stringing together some good game plans from time to time. He’s way too inconsistent for me.
He had a good run of game in the playoffs when we won the superbowl and at the beginning of this year. Otherwise teams have had their way with him. He also doesn’t make in game adjustments which drives me nuts.

Micah Parsons played MLB at Penn State and some MLB his rookie year.
I just know I don't wanna pay devin white 100M that some team is going to do. Rah Rah guy but I rather pay Lavonte(who still hasn't lost a step) and winfield than 1 devin white
Hell I would trade him right now for a high second or low first to pick his replacement, I like white and all but take out all the sentimental value and emotion he's just not worth 20mil, just like Smith isnt worth 42m 3 years
Trade White... or keep him 1 more year then let him walk and get the comp pick
I really wish the Bucs tried to deploy White like Parsons. Bowles insists he's a LB though and his contract is expiring soon. After last year, there's now way you can say he deserves an extension.

I am saddened that D. White has stalled his development. But it is okay that he is what he is so the Bucs don't have to shell out the big bucks for him.
Hated the pick and still hate the player. An absolute bust. How many of you didn't agree and defended him up until the end of this year... You've change your tune now. Trade that bum.

This would be interesting but man Parsons is a freak. He must be several inches taller than White and I think faster even.
Let's convert White back to RB, his natural position

Yeah I think Parsons is like 3" taller and 10-15 pounds heavier. Plus he has played DE since HS days so its a natural fit for him full time.I really wish the Bucs tried to deploy White like Parsons.
