    Everyone knocking Jrob for linemen, but last time I checked, our O line is actually playing damn good. Of course we have injuries now too, so it panned out. We will get other positions and playmakers this draft.

    Verner was a Pro bowler 3 years ago and was solid for the first 5 of his career. He's still only 27. For whatever reason he had an off year last year, but was still a starter. Grimes crushed it in the offseason and was inserted opposite Verner to start the season. Verner actually graded as a top 40 CB through the first 3 weeks of the season. Not great, but solid and better than most of the garbage on on our team. Why did he get benched you ask? A little player named Vernon Hargreaves drafted #11 overall in the first round needed play time.

    Is Verner playing up to his contract? No. Could he help this team? Yes.

    He isn't doing anything on their roster except collecting a big paycheck, and shockingly Harry Douglas or Andre Johnson would provide much more value for them at a position of need. Honestly, they should be calling us.

    Dirk Koetter was Douglas' OC in Atlanta I suppose that might help.

    Were there to be a trade between parties Verner : Douglas , it might be the biggest garbage trade in my memory. One sack of trash for another. Verner from what I have watched of the Bucs has been dreadful. Usually people leave and become all-pro , he's the polar opposite. He's better than Blake but then so is a guy in a Wheelchair with a guide-dog.

    Famous last words.

    He is not a good fit for the defense we have now. And no one is taking Douglas.

    Trader Jon has friends with the Bucs. I think he was also on staff when they brought in Verner.

    I would not be surprised if he's inquired and the price is too high.
