Three guys YOU want on your Team?

When or IF this stupid Lockout ends, and Free Agency starts, what three players would you like your team to sign!?

This one is pretty easy for me. For me, if the Bucs were to get one or two of these Players, I feel it would put the Bucs as a true contender.

Johnathan Joseph: Some people may say; What about Aso?! Well first of all, you really think the Bucs would spend that kind of money? And Second of all...Well, that's about it. With Johnathan Joseph would give the Bucs that Aquib Talib replacement we need.

Matt Light: My mom taught him how to swim, like, no joke. Pretty crazy huh? If it weren't for my mom, this guy probably wouldn't be in the NFL. Because Swimming and Football come hand in hand. Matt Light is a true stud at O-Line and would bring a Veteren Pressence, and a true solid starter at the O-line. Just what we need. Plus, my mom could get us some sweet connections.

Top Punter: We need the best punter. His name could be Mike Hawk for all I care, if he can kick the ball long and hard, then I'll be happy. Im sick of having the Bucs go through 5 punters per season.

Marc Bulger - The Cardinals have been linked to every fucking QB out there from Vince Young back to Matt Leinart and from McNabb to Kolb. Even Peyton Manning has been talked about by some of the fans. Since we're talking about F/A's and not trades I'd go for Bulger. He'll be cheap and he's got the experience to pass on to Skelton. Also, he fits our offense better than the other F/A QB guys out there. Major issue is that he's not had a good season since like '06 but that could be down to the Rams declining rather than his talents going.

Matt Light - Our OLine leaked in 50 sacks last season. Second only to the Bears. With Faneca retired and a few other guys like Lutui and Sendheim being free-agents we need some help on the line.

Plaxico Burress - I think I'd have included a RB before the draft but since we picked up Ryan Williams, I don't think another RB is needed even with Fumbletower a F/A and Wright possibly retiring (and being an F/A too). So I'd get Plax. Breaston is a F/A (fuck me, do we have a lot of F/A's?) too and even if he re-signs I think he's better operating in the slot. So we need another WR to work on the other side of Fitz. Doucet is always injured and I'm not sure where Roberts is at position wise (slot, #2, special teams). Plax would be a good pick up I think.


Just get a rugby #10 or someone who's played Aussie Rules football. They play with egg shaped balls too so punting one 50+ yards is something they do a lot. Just ask Ben Graham. He's a top punter AND he's from Australia.

Skip to 50 seconds if you don't believe me lol.

I just want two.

Jonathan Joseph and Stephen Tullock

HA!

i would be happy with 1 Pass Rushing LB like Clay Mathews and a Safety like Polamalu, i think if we got 2 guys that played like them, we would be unstoppable.

I hope they RESIGN Jonathan Joseph and also sign a star safety and maybe a great offensive lineman?

ike taylor or carlos rogers
mark herzlich
lawrence vickers

LOL Egg shaped balls... (Sorry, 12 year old moment)

I know man, those guys can kick. We had an Australian guy kicking for us but it didin't last, guy did well but they still got rid of him. (Probably didn't connect well with big black Raheem)

Offtopic: Why is that everytime I watch those kinda games like Aussie Rules Football, Rugby, Handball, etc. I always wish we had something like that in America. Football is great and all but, it just seems like those sports is like combining Football and Soccer together. The exciting'ness of Football, and the speed and keep going approach of soccer. But maybe I am just ants at a picnic.

A Corner: Trufant is getting old and his back isnt getting better as fast as we thought and outside of him we have Jennings and Thurmond...

A Pass rush specialist: we dont have much at Pass rushing... and we need to generate more sacks and pressure the QB... Our run Defense is pretty good as long as we can resign Mebane.

A Stud #1 WR: We need a true #1... MW is good but he's more of a #2 and Butler/Obomanu are #3s...

#1 Would be resign Ike Taylor, but regardless of whether or not he is resigned I want:

Jonathan Joseph, Richard Marshall, and/or Carlos Rogers: All three are serviceable corners who can get the job done as a starter. Asomugha is unrealistic, and while Joseph may also ask for too much money, Marshall and Rogers are both guys who could be signed at a reasonable price and who could make our secondary that much better. They're not superstars, but we don't need superstars: we just need solid, decent guys who can hold their own every once in a while (unlike Bryant Mcfadden and William Gay). Getting one or two of these guys becomes about 10x more important if Ike Taylor leaves.

Jared Gaither: While I think our offensive line will be fine (not outstanding, fine) provided there isn't another freak "Oline holocaust" on our team like there was last year, Gaither is a guy who could come in and be an upgrade immediately anywhere on the line. Still, I think a line of Starks-Kemo-Pouncey-Colon-Adams should be fine.

Tony Richardson or Vonta Leach: Richardson is old and Leach will probably be resigned, and neither of these will happen anyway because Bruce Arians hates the fullback position. Unfortunately, Arians is mentally retarded and our ground game desperately needs a legitimate fullback, especially with an average at best offensive line to run behind.

smart move wanting Richardson, hes a strong locker room presence for all the younger guys as well as the vets, rumor has it he may sign on as the Jets FB coach since he has had a great impact on the team as a whole

Trust me, ever since I started to follow the NFL I've been asking myself the same thing.

You have football and hockey which are both physical contact team sports. So you like seeing people have the shit knocked out of them.

Yet for some reason you don't have a big rugby market which is like a combination of soccer and football (the free flowing movement and the big hits). You do play rugby, I know that because Team USA have played in a few Rugby World Cups but the sport doesn't get any TV coverage (at least I don't think so).

Maybe the USA should host a Rugby World Cup to drum up interest? It worked for soccer. You hosted the World Cup in '94 and I read that the MLS is overtaking the NHL in the top US sports lists. So you never know.

Yeah, that's why I wanna see it as a big US sport.

New Zealand, South Africa and Australia have dominated the sport for too long. Someone needs to teach 'em a lesson. England are a good team but they have their moments. One minute their the Champions of the World and the next they're losing to the likes of Argentina and Scotland.

You already have the type of players needed for rugby. It's just a matter of teaching them to play. I wanna see some ex-NFL guys laying out the hard men of South Africa.


Oh, and having it on TV there is news to me. I've never heard an American saying he watches it except maybe David Hasselhoff.
