My heart goes out to Chris Simms, a sweetie if there ever was one. First his heart and leadership are questioned by Steve “Mormon Hotness” Young, then he literally gets his spleen knocked out of him.
Even Jake “Porn Star” Plummer, who retired, is above Simms on the depth chart.
Sad!
I do like the Jeff Garcia signing. He led the Eagles to the playoffs last year, barely losing the Saints. I’m not saying this makes the Bucs a playoff team but Jeff Garcia is a gamer, fits the requirements of Chucky’s West Coast system and has a little 37-year-old shake and bake to boot.
The Bucs would be a playoff team if Cadillac Williams has a rebirth like his namesake car company did a few years back. Cadillac spent some time in the body shop this off season and according to reports, he is leaner and…
Harder…
Did it just get hot in here?
Cadillac’s success (and to a large part Garcia’s) depends on the Bucs offensive line what has been upgraded with the development of Davin Joseph, Jeremy Trueblood and the signing of Luke Petitgout.
Most of all, they need the defense to continue playing at the level they’ve been for the better part of the last decade. It’ll be a tough task since Monte Kiffen’s cuppard is almost bare. The small linebackers are getting older and slower, there are questions in the secondary, and while Gaines Adams has the physical tools to be a monster some day, word on the street is that Kiffen is unhappy with his sloppy technique and has been working overtime to correct these problems.
According to reports, Kiffen has had to adjust the famous Tampa 2 Scheme to fit the skills of his players. It’s sort of like Tampa 2 Lite. Whether it tastes great or less filling remains to be seen.
