The sweet sweet tears of Bucs fans on losing Delaire...

In the 4th when Delaire forced an intentional grounding attempting to get his 3rd sack of the day, Deckerhoff says "where did they get this guy?!?!"  Well, Gene, he was on our roster 4 weeks ago. Of course, DE is such a deep position of strength for this team, we could afford to dump young talent in favor of injured "never has beens."  Absolute travesty.

 

 IM STILL A FAN I HAVE NO CHOICE BIG ASS BUCS FLAG TATTED ON MY NECK BUT I SIR AM READY TO WALK THE PLANK SERIOUSLY ARE WE REALLY THIS BAD

 

 Wow. Just had a closer look at Delaire. He is better than any edge rusher on our roster by heaps. Not even close. He beat Cherilus on a spin move for a sack and repeatedly beat DSmith when he was lined up against him including his second sack.

He also got robbed of another sack when Winston intentionally grounded the ball to avoid the sack. The guy was unblockable most of the game. How did Licht/Robinson let this kid walk away? 

Jaq Smith is a nice pass rusher but teams are running it straight at him. He is a one trick pony and a liability against the run. Delaire was the complete package yesterday from either side of the formation. It looks like we let a really good one get away.

 Delaire not being a Buc and Brinzda being one,  are 2 bad personnel moves that could well be the difference in this team being 3-1 or 2-2 right now. It would be a shame to lose Koeter, who is a good OC, but Lovie is making bad personnel moves and as of now looks washed up as a D coordinator. We'll see how he finishes the year, but after yesterday I'm for change next year.

Delaire reminds me of the one armed bandit (AC).  Violent with his hands.

Meanwhile the rest of the Bucs DE's have decided to show Cam Newton a knitting session they have planned for Friday night.  Sigh.

Reminds me of when we let Chuck Wiley go to ATL and he killed us.

That entire board is one big Fire Lovie, Jameis Sucks, Delaire OMG dumpster fire and I love it.

Here's a great response to someone saying their forum didn't seem to complain when Delaire was cut:

That's true, GT, but the Red Board didn't get the chance to fairly evaluate this guy since he arrived in Tampa. Lovie did. Evaluating players and finding gems is not easy, but some organizations/GM's/HC's are clearly better than others.

To their defense....kinda sorta.... The Skins put him on the Practice Squad. 

DG had to have his eyes on him for a while.  This wasn't lets grab just anyone.

[Fox007]

I hope he continues because we sure as hell need him.

it never is "just grab anyone" as some here believe.

I hope Delaire becomes the stuff.  What a great story!!  Plus...we could use the stuff!

yep

Judging by Rivera's comments on Monday, the Panthers would have drafted Delaire if we had late round picks.

"They always take the good stuff. They don't bother with that crap you're saving." lol

[Nate Dogg]

He's only about 10 pounds lighter than Hardy. Looked a little quicker IMO. Hopefully this guy improves on his first performance and makes us all forget Hardy existed.

Bup Bup Bup

How funny is that going to be if Delaire turns out to be a perennial double digit sack guy year after year and the Bucs are still trotting out a garbage group of nobodies at DE.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

They also had Remmers on their team at one point as well and he's probably better than any OT currently on their roster.

Top notch talent evaluation Bucs, well done.
