    We've already shown interest in Barrett Ruud. We need a G, so either to re-sign LeRoy Harris or that Blalock kid sounds decent.

    Jacob Bell just got released. He's an ex-Titan :). I've read that his production wasn't great but he's prob at least as good as Leroy.

    Barret Ruud would be nice. He's basically the opposite of Tulloch. I don't know if that's a good thing but it'd be nice to have a coverage linebacker for once.

    I just want a safety!!

    Speaking of, I'm hoping Tommie Cambell is a beast. Did anybody see him play in college? 6'3" 4.31 40 yd dash.

    I live in the Tampa Bay area and I can tell you that Ruud should be our biggest target. He is a playmaker in the run game and he can cover the middle of the field.

    I think Ruud would be a step down from Tulloch.

    I think it's an upgrade. Tulloch was good at tackling, yes. But horrid in coverage, short, average speed, average tackler. Ruud is an athlete, good spped, great coverage for a MLB, 3 inches taller, and has 511 tackles in 4 years. I'm a little confused why the Bucs aren't resigning him? He just turned 28, LBs can play until 33-34 normally.

    The Bucs aren't re-signing Ruud (and no other teams are interested in him so far) because he does nothing except make tackles 8-10 yards down the field. He never stuffs runs for a short gain or a loss. He lets the RB come to him rather than making plays downhill. He racks up tons of tackles, sure, but they aren't positive plays for his team.

    Not exactly what you want in an MLB.

    Tulloch has his faults and Ruud might solve some of them (pass coverage primarily), but Ruud also has some major faults of his own.
