Looks like Eric Lorig will start at fullback tomorrow, which will actually raise the white starter level to a staggering five, assuming Trueblood is back. Of course the three white starters on offense are in safe, caste approved positions.



Lorig, by the way, was the only true (white) defensive end drafted last spring. Danny Batten, picked in round 6 by the Bills, was selected to play OLB. He's on injured reserve, so who knows if he'll ever get the chance, while super 1st round bust Aaron Maybin and roid freak Shawn Merriman continue to work.

By the way, someone should look at Maybin's pre-draft workout numbers in the spring of 2009. As I recall, the girls that do the "draft scouting"for the major siteshad ahuge homo-erotic crushon this guy -- kept carrying on about his awesome physique.So much so, that they kept reminding the DWF's how "athletic" he was, despite the fact that he could barely finish his pre-draft workout drills and was posting times UFL prospects would be ashamed of....meanwhile, Batten whohad 1st round workout times was lucky to be picked at all

Back to Lorig, expect him to have a very brief career. NFL teams generally do not like taller fullbacks. So I'm sure he'll bein TBay onlyuntil a suitable replacement can be found -- perhaps Lorenzo Neal will come back at the age of 40? At least he looks the part.

If Tampa were to lose road games against Baltimore, Washington and New Orleans, plus their home game against Atlanta, they would be FINISHED.

Even with McNabb at the helm, Washington can still be a tough place to play. Tampa also has a road game against San Francisco, and that might present some problems as well.

In key Divisional contests, I feel good about New Orleans at home... I think the Atlanta game is the crucial contest (not just for knocking Tampa out, but for Atlanta's own playoff hopes; Atlanta plays a tough Baltimore team this Thursday, Ryan -vs- Flacco!).

Tampa is 7-3. They have only played 3 teams with winning records (Pittsburgh, New Orleans and Atlanta), and they lost all 3. Of the 7 wins against losing teams, 4 came in the final minutes. While I will give them credit for beating the scrub teams and finding a way to win, they could easily be 3-7. They will probably win one or two more games this year and miss the playoffs. Raheem Morris will get a fat new contract and they will be an overhyped sexy pick for 2011. However, without the cream puff last place schedule and all the lucky bounces, they will be relegated back to the dung heap of NFL all-turd teams.

I expect Tampa to fall back next year, with a tougher schedule and less infatuation with Raheem Morris by the players. Black players play harder for black coaches, as Larry Johnson and others have admitted, but the honeymoon period always ends eventually. I just don't see the talent for the Bucs to become a serious contender. Their trajectory will be more like that of the Bengals -- a good season now and then followed by a swift decline.

I thought the Bucs wouldn't win more than a few games this season. Boy was I wrong on that one. The DWF's and caste media is in love with Josh Freeman who is the next great Black Hope at quarterback.

I totally agree with that assessment Don. I kept telling friends that are Bengals fans of their team's woe to come back in the months leading up to the season. Glad I hit that nail on the head and cannot wait for Tampa to get back to a sub .500 reality next year!

The Bucs will place FS Cody Grimm (broken left fibula) on injured reserve, ending his season.

It's a major blow to the Bucs' playoff hopes. Grimm was sustaining solid play at a position that the Bucs have really struggled with over the past couple of seasons. Liability Sabby Piscitelli is the most likely replacement.

Thats to bad about Grimm, he showed he belonged. Hopefully he will be back and even better next season. He had to be in the top 10 for DROY.

It's clear now why the otherwise coal black Bucs kept three White safeties on their roster -- tokeep aroundas permanent scapegoats. Cody Grimm is now getting the same treatment Sabby Piscatelli received last year -- being singled out for blame for a loss in which the defense gave up 38 points. And Piscatelli is still "deep in the doghouse" because he dared to do what black athletes do all the time -- speak out against what he considered (and rightly so) unfair treatment. Here's an ebony and ivory duo going after both of them:

http://video.tbo.com/m/34481051/bucs-beat-video-blog-can-piscitelli-get-out-of-the-doghouse.htm?q=bucs


The same writer, Anwar, who tore into Cody after a shaky first game, was ebullient in his praise for him today.Noting the team will really miss him down the stretch and writinghe could've beenthe teams best rookie -- high praise considering they drafted a sumo DT #3 overall.

http://www2.tbo.com/content/2010/nov/28/282254/notebook-rookie-grimm-likely-lost-for-the-season/

Here's a article from a few days ago, in which the Bucs coaches and players really throw a lot of accolades his way. Seems like he could become that very rare entrenched white starting safety, assuming he recovers from this ankle injury andavoids majorinjuries going forward. Not bad, considering most felt he was destined to be a career special teams mascot, at best. And many DWF's also assumed he was only drafted because he's the son of a Hall-of-Famer.

PS: In the 1st link I posted Raheem refuses to say who "blew the coverage" on the 70 yard Heap touchdown. Well, the word has leaked out and no surprise....it's Sabby, who made a mental error. Looks like his days are numbered in Tampa. Corey Lynch might actually start next week, if they don't shift Ronde Barber from CB to SS

Joseph broke a foot in the first quarter of the Bucs' 17-10 loss at Baltimore on Sunday and was placed on season-ending injured reserve on Monday.
(Updated 11/30/10) STATS LLC
Advice This is a key loss to Tampa Bay's offensive line. The Bucs didn't have a ton of success running the ball, but this could affect the offensive line's ability to protect Josh Freeman.

Foot injuries are something that can linger. Jeremy Zuttah (black) is slated to be the new starter at right guard.

I remember that Tampa drafted that primitive sumo from Tennessee, and he ran into "numerous" problems, I recall, that go beyond the reported neurological issue. I could be wrong, but I recall that he was a distraction to the team. Anyhow, after that '07 Draft, I OFFICIALLY hated the BUCS. Here's the well-conditioned sumo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arron_Sears

BUCS Draft History: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tampa_Bay_Buccaneers_draft_history#2006_Draft

What I'm getting at is.. This "organization" has been, for a good while now, transforming into the "NFLs version" of THUG U. A lot of "reaches" in their Draft History, and a lot of "love" for sumo OL/DL. "It's no accident"...

this is kind of interesting as well.. wasn't drafted that high - and height/weight wise - might not seem like a sumo, but here goes...

Fulton was the 19th pick in the 5th round of the 2009 NFL Draft, picked by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He will be wearing the number 68 on his jersey,[17] the same as his collegiate number. On Wednesday, June 10, 2009, Fulton signed a four-year contract with the Buccaneers.[18] He was the first draft pick by Tampa to reach a contract agreement with the club.[19]

Fulton played a majority of the four preseason games before tearing his anterior cruciate ligament in the final preseason game against the Houston Texans on September 4, 2009.[20] Fulton was put on Injured Reserve for the season.[21]

After being drafted, Fulton signed a four-year endorsement deal with Nike.

Fulton was cut from the team on 4 September 2010.[22]


Indianapolis Colts

On 6 September 2010, Fulton was signed to the Indianapolis Colts practice squad.[23] He was released on September 17.

San Francisco 49ers

Fulton was signed on 10 November 2010.

wow...

Buccaneers waived S Sabby Piscitelli.

It speaks to how far the 2007 second-rounder had fallen that he was released just one day after the team discovered that FS Cody Grimm's season is over. Safety Vince Anderson was promoted from the practice squad to back up new starter Corey Lynch. Piscitelli will have to earn another shot as a special teamer in another locale.


on a silghtly more positive note, Bucs signed Brandon Carter from their PS.

Corey Lynch is the last of Tampa's three White safeties left standing. God forbid he misses a tackle or doesn't have a perfect angle of pursuit every play:

Bucs coach Raheem Morris confirmed Friday that Corey Lynch will be the team's starting free safety going forward. Lynch beat out Vince Anderson in practice for the position previously held by Cody Grimm (fractured fibula). Essentially a career special teamer, Lynch didn't make the Bengals out of training camp. Grimm showed playmaking ability as a rookie starter, and Lynch projects as a sizable downgrade.

I'm sure that the DWF's are scouring game film so that they can place the blame for Matty Ice's two touchdown passes on Lynch, along with Weems' 102 yard kickoff return, assuming that he's a WSTD. Edited by: FootballDad

Maybe the DWFs won't be as hard on him as Piscatelli, as being a White safety named Lynch isn't a bad thing in Tampa.

Hardman and Larsen are listed as starting guards on the Bucs now, with Trueblood losing his starting tackle spot. With Donovan Raiola signed today, that gives the Bucs an all white O-line backup contingent, though of course once the athletes are back from their injuries next season I doubt whether this will be the case.

Trueblood has a long-back, and that's why he gets pushed around.

Shockingly, a Buccaneers player was arrested last night for drunk and disorderly conduct. So disorderly, in fact, that he had to be tased. Amazingly, however, is that he's a dark-pigmented fellow. I'm sorry that I'm such an evil "ray-ciss" for pointing that out

As I've stated throughout this year, Tampa Bay is a joke and their record is a fraud. A significant stat: Strength of Victory (SOV), is the combined winning percentage of all the teams a team has beaten. Tampa is dead last in the league with an SOV of:

.286

They have not beaten a winning team all year. And, their home loss to Detroit effectively knocks them out of the playoffs. Look for Raheem Morris to win coach of the year honors for this fraudulent effort.

Morris winning it wouldn't surprise me at all. His almost coal black team is supposedly one of the most athletic and exciting teams in the league.

I think you are being over-the-top...

Like I've said before about black linebackers, they rarely do things that White one's can't.. now onto my point, the Josh Freeman/Drew Stanton stat-lines were incredibly similar. Incredibly..

Look at Matt Cassel and Tom Brady's success (late rounders).. look at how high McNabb was picked, and outside of 1 or 2 seasons where his production stood out more, he has NOTHING ON OUR QBs. Ryan Fitzpatrick has been very solid for Buffalo.

(2nd-rounder) Drew Brees is a very important part of our QB-stable, and the continued success of Matt Ryan/Joe Flacco is simply magnificent! Now, if only Matt Stafford could stay healthy.. he's still incredibly young, so I'm hopeful yet. Maybe a future Patriot! He needs that Pats O-line!

I just wanted to say that Washington's Ryan Torain had a bunch of rushing yards against Tampa..

and, in that game, Tampa only managed to score 17 points against a bad Washington defense. That home loss for Washington (17-16) got McDrabb demoted.

When I found out that Tampa only scored 17 points, I merely laughed and I wasn't going to cry for the 'Skins. Of course, I'm VERY happy that Detroit won, and New Orleans should be able to win their week 17 match-up.
