No way of knowing that their draft would being Knox and Sweeney, and then no way of knowing they would make Kroft Irrelevant in their First year. two point scored and one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I'm guessing this ship has sailed since nobody picked him up. Must be some issues if there were no takers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) https://www.profootballrumors.com/2019/03/buccaneers-to-sign-lb-deone-bucannonhttps://www.profootballrumors.com/2019/03/buccaneers-to-sign-lb-deone-bucannon This will be a one-year agreement, per ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter (on Twitter), which makes sense given Bucannon’s struggles during his platform year. The 2014 first-round pick finished as one of Pro Football Focus’ worst-graded linebackers last season, though he only played only 389 snaps in Steve Wilks‘ defense.

I still have nightmare flashbacks of "43's the Mike!" Bryan Scott: 6'1" 220lbs Deone Buccanon: 6'1" 218lbs HARD PASS @Boyst62, if you're out there, i know you feel this too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concern is less about how our coaches use him, and more about how the opposition will abuse him. We thought the plan for Scott was genius and air-tight. Using him as LB in the Nickel to give us more coverage on the underneath routes and TEs. But all the Pats had to do was send in 1 RB along with the 3 WRs to force us into the Nickel alignment. Then they'd find 43, audible to a run, and run right at him. 5-7 yards a pop. Good teams like the ones we'll face in the playoffs will exploit tweeners. Too big/slow to play DB, and too small to defend the Run. IMO, it's more a weakness than an advantage. They become the target. Cant scheme or gameplan your way out of that.

Maybe having Edmunds next to him instead of Mitchell is a big difference. Hopefully having a much more talented roster helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
