Damn, I'd take back Winfield in a heartbeat. I still have his jersey!
For the record, I'd also take Florence back, at least for the short term. He's not great, but he's better than what we got.
Certainly seems like they kept a few people around with the expectation that they'd be picking someone else up. We need a backup guard and another CB pretty badly.
I'm sure Brad won't be too upset about that. I could certainly be making this up, but his body language throughout the preseason basically said he wasn't very interested.
I'm pretty sure EJ will start, I think this is just Marrone keeping people (ie, Pats*) in the dark. If not, whatever. Tuel can just launch it every play and get 15 pass interference calls.
Seriously? EJ wasn't looking so hot in that first game, up until the 2:00 drive. He has his share of miscues in the second game as well. He's looked as good as I've hoped, but he'll be making plenty of mistakes this year once defenses start trying to confuse him.
I'm totally on the EJ bandwagon, but sounds like everyone is getting a little giddy.
Yeah, thanks for sharing. I remember the Bucs from back then, and how cool I thought it was that they made the NFC Championship Game. I remember the defense, but I had forgotten all about Ricky Bell. I never knew any of that story.
Along those lines, here's a decent Kool-Aid-drinker article from Yahoo on the defense:

And yes, !@#$ you, Dave.

Regarding Jarius Byrd: Acrimony remains, will take time to adjust to scheme, get in football shape, may even hope for eventual trade
By the way, Astro -- sounds like Wood and Brown are starting to jell, would you say?
