Also, he was helped by the change in scheme. He needs work in the run game re taking proper angles--he messes himself up by overestimating his speed.He also could use a lot of basic work on tackling technique.It's disappointing how a SS with his size never seems to blow anybody up on Sundays.I am unconvinced he will ever be anything other than a back-up from scrimmage, & a special teams guy. Trueblood has disappointed by not improving the last three years.He can be exposed by speed-rushers, & gets less movement in the run game that you'd think for a player his size (the Bucs actually ran a bit better to the left in 2009).He has quietly entered that large NFL classification of "just another guy." The penalties on top of this are deal-killers to me, but I expect he will be tendered at a fairly high level....I am sorta keeping my eye on Iowa's Kyle Calloway for the upcoming draft, who has Trueblood size but maybe a little more athleticism.

This guy is out of position on most plays and is a liability in the secondary. Although, I've got a huge man-crush on Berry and think he's worth a #3 pick, I'd rather focus on the front of the defense and work backwards. In my opinion, a terrific d-line can make an average seconday seem superb. Trueblood: Tough call. He's a beast and he's got the tenacity to rip a DE's nuts off if he takes a shot at his QB, but he is a drive killer. Should he be replaced? On an ideal franchise. But I think he's one of the few guys that are still passionate about playing for this franchise, and would rather work with him than against him. Keep up the good work, D. Your posts are always a good read. Klip D -

Adding to the theory, "always attack white safteys" (except John Lynch) Piscatilli is still green at reading seam routes by tight ends, has trouble keeping with outside speedy wide recievers on the outside, and if far from stuffing the hole getting trucked by running backs and recievers alot last year. I do believe that there is a spot on the roster for Sabby. He would be a roster upgrade for the nickle corner, ending the horendous efforts produced by undersized, and undergamed Albert Mac. What can we do to upgrade at Saftey? Simple, re introduce Jermaine "flip" Phillips into the saftey position. Draft Eric Berry, and gradually work Berry into the starting position next season. Why not start Berry some might ask. ITS THE NFL PEOPLE. Tenard Jackson is an elite, and I mean elite saftey in the NFL. Young players make mistakes, so give Flip the start, make Berry it.
