PFF: Adding DT Melton alongside McCoy gives Bucs an "absolutely terrifying sub package pass rush from the inside"

[Fox007]

Said it on the huddle pod will say it again, Lovie will have he Bucs respectable this season now that they will have a QB. Saints and falcons shouldn't concern you as much as the Bucs.

 

Yea it's going to swing back to early 2000's where we fight it out with them for the division.

 

Saints will revert back to the cellar where they belong and the Falcons are just a flash in the pan...they do that every once in a while.

Meanwhile the Saints now have a big hole at OG after trading one of their expensive OGs, Ben Grubbs, to Chiefs for fifth-round pick

[vorbis]

good pickup, but they've got to stay healthy to really make some noise. also let's not downplay the talent of McCoy or LDavid. they are excellent players and absolutely have the ability to shape a game vs the panthers *if other things go as planned*

[MCC]

We'll see if he can stay on the field.

all this said though i swear if our opener is another 4:15 kickoff against the fuging bucs

New Bucs DT Melton Says He Is Ready To Turn This Thing Around

“I am..ready to turn this thing around... I just wanted to come here and help turn this thing around ... I saw a lot of potential in this team. They are real close.

...

Lovie Smith and Rod Marinelli groomed me into a pretty dominant undertackle. As soon as he heard I might hit the (open) market he was definitely one of the first people to get in contact and I came out here and had to make it happen.

...

Me and Gerald became pretty good friends at the Pro Bowl a couple years ago and we have always kept in contact. I was about to be a free agent then and we talked about joining forces, but it didn’t work out. But (this year) we had an opportunity to make it happen. He texted me and we have been texting and he was real excited to hear the news.”

reactions from Bucs forum:

-DT position looks to be fully stocked at this point.

-Yup. ... pretty loaded.

-pretty darn good DT rotation. I love it.

-Awesome, we're absolutely loaded at DT right now.

Well Bucs look stacked on the interior D line now.

Peeta @ artillery16

bucs about to be stacked

Hot Boy $teez @ LordSteezington

The Bucs are stacked

Mark Harmon @ rayguy3

Bucs are loaded at DT.

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Maybe it's just the homer in me but I'd rather have Star/KK than Geraldine and Melton

[rmoneyg35]

They are great DTs but have injury history. So chances of them playing at the same time is slim.

[RJK]

good thing they're terrible everywhere else

[O-Ther]

They'll be tougher on defense with DT Melton and LB Carter for sure, but still no DE pass rushers and their O-line is still poo.

 

I'll sleep well tonight.

With this signing more reason to shore up the OL , sharpen iron with iron not mediocre OL talent
