Bumping to tell my buddies Boid and Stagger and the rest of the board for that matter (hey that rhymes) that I'm sorry for this thread and it appears I am about to eat massive crow. Looks like I shouldn't have trusted what Lovie said, what the film said, and what the personnel said. Turns out Lovie is a liar who can't figure out how to use one of the greatest CBs ever. Such a damn shame. No matter what the Bucs do from now until the season, this offseason has been ruined for me. What an absolute frickin joke.So once again, sorry fellas. I truly believed that the "defensive coach" Lovie had a spot for a future HOFer in a nice man scheme. SORRY!!
+ 1 I'm not a happy fan at this moment. How the hell do you cut a deserved Pro Bowler? I can see cutting Davin Joseph, because of his play and salary. Donald Penn fat #@$ needs to be the one to his the bricks the way he played last year (clearly in decline).

It takes a big man to admit. And you won't hear any heckling out of me. Honestly I think that most fans that were here for the beginning of the Dungy era have a place I, their heart for Dungy disciples. I arrived in 98 and didn't convert from my Redskin ways untill 99. So for me, I have no emotional stock in Dungy, or Lovie. So it gives me a different view. Not better, just different. I never saw the ingenuity, or vision in him, just a cover 2 guy with a lucky run to the Super Bowl. His brand of ball is irrelevant. And I will state my case that this move to hire Lovie was more about PR, and energizing the base then it was about moving this team forward. If we flat out release Revis, the best, most talented player on the team, and maybe the country, because he doesn't for the system, I will put up the Fire Lovie billboards myself. Christ, we are talking about a difference of 6 million....what does that add to the roster, 3 back ups or an average starter. Not to mention the wasted 2013 pick of Sheldon Richardson.Lovie is making me sick.
...and people mocked Schiano for not being able to adjust to his talent ....
Damn you Chip Kelly....no, Damn you Freeman and Dominick for Scaring Chip Kelly back to Oregon.
No need to bust on you 449. My buddy is a huge Bears fan. We banter and watch each other's teams often. Lovie is a good coach. But he is a zone schemer. The thing that pisses me off is that Revis is a future HOFer, and CAN produce like a Richard Sherman if you give him a pass rush. Lovie said he had evolved by having the time off. So far, his lips are moving, but there aren't to many honest things being said. He said he has learned to advance his schemes. To adjust to the new game and rules. He said he can utilize Revis. So far, it points the other way. He is the same guy. Talks the same game about offense too. Not good man. I trust Lovie is a good coach. But he is the same cat. Expect heavy defense, awful QB play, and 17-14 type ball games. It's going to happen.
Heavy defense minus a future HOFer in the prime of his career. A damn fucking shame. As upset as I have been with something in sports.
I mean, time will tell. But I think Lovie is the same dude. Defense heavy, offense is vanilla boring, and he will try to get by with a Mike Glennon as his QB. Or a MCCown. Or someone that will kill our hopes and dreams. Lovie will get the Bucs on track. But they will be a piss poor offense. Tedford better get ready to squeeze blood from stones, because he won't get a good QB to run the ship, and he will be forced into running the crap out of the ball.
Buc Ball is back Baby!!! I'm looking forward to running the ball on 1st and 2nd .....and 3rd downs, averaging 150 yards of passing offense, and being lucky if we can crack 17 points a game. This very well could be the most boring season ever. I have been anti JFF since day one, but at this rate, at least he is entertaining and probably has the balls to audible out of run every play.
Lovie will not draft a Q(early)B. Even if one is available, he absolutely will not. I'll put money on it. Ten cents. He will most definitely NOT draft Watkins. These are the guys that will be options:RobinsonMathewsMackMoselyDonaldThat's it. It WILL be one of those guys. Even if Bortles is available (which I think he might).
