Bucaroo Bonzai

He has some great quotes, and I think D. Williams might have even done more if it wasn't for the barriers/racism/Culverhouse he faced. My favorite Sapp quote was that he played on Sunday for free. He got paid for all the rest (practice).

If you think this is bad, wait until they find out that Josh McCown is starting for the Eagles.

Low bar.

Although the A Train analogy might be a good one. A Train was a damn good player, made clutch plays and won some games for us. McCoy can't hold his jock, or Dunn's for that matter, and their numbers aren't even retired. Selmon carried the team on his back, and Brooks/Sapp were the cornerstones that brought the Bucs a Super Bow (which should have been 3-4 if the Bucs had any offense). And McCoy wants his number retired....

He has the arm. He has the height. Word on the street is that he's a hard worker, so if he can master the offense and clean up some mistakes, he has franchise QB potential. If he was as worthless as people around here say, Gruden would never have brought him in, and would have cut him after last week. He sees some potential.

I think McCoy will be a better player than he was for us because he has something to prove and he's angry, but I'm glad he's gone since we never would have seen that spark.

No need to dis the A-Train, and I think A-train is actually pretty close on the ROH. But McCoy was was the heart of a defense was was consistently the team's weak link.

Still early in preseason. He had a good completion percentage and yardage, and he has only had 6 months to learn the system. Bwahahaha.

Just the accountability alone is a great thing. How many years did they stick with 'talented' players who fucked up over and over again?

I just hope he has a good preseason game against 3rd stringers in the 4th quarter so we can spend the season demanding he replaces Winston.

Not really noteworthy until he survives a few cuts and makes the team. Maybe it sells some tickets. Then he's green enough that by the time he develops, the Bucs would be lucky to get 1 good year out of him. 11 TDs and 12 INTs during his senior year (the only time he really played). From a football perspective without the name recognition, how the hell does he even get a try out?

On that note. This is what his ****** would look like (complete with his cup)....

Thanks Tundra, it is taking me 30 minutes to get my thoughts together to type a few sentences. WTF is with McCoy. It's like he's always has been like Spongebob trying to be a leader except he lacks spongebob's social skills. And I'd really like to ask Sapp, "what do you think of McCoy carrying the helmets for the rookies like he did with the Bucs?" It's like a drill sergeant carrying your backpacks for you. Part of the point of camp is making the rookies know their place.

All of the Glazers' behavior around that time was about running the team on the cheap. They had a few capless years, and took advantage as much as they could.

One other thought....with that team, we needed to keep the players like Ruud who were giving a good effort." But regardless, I see this as a bit like the GruAllen firing. It would have been palatable if they replaced him with someone capable (in the neighborhood of ready to start). They made the call to save a few million. It probably had nothing to do with trying to win games.
