Jenkins should give Bucs strong guard tandem first Young and not Jenkins, Mawae can only do so much for that OL, but w/o help C Martin will be having a tougher time running the ball, especially ag. us w/ our new run stopper: Larry Chester :D
Come on 39, every player we lost, we are replacing with a better player for our system. We resigned Machado a couple months ago to replace Jenkins. Our line now consists of
LT-Fabini(very good)
LG-Machado(great potential)
C-Mawae(#1 center in league)
RG-Thomas(top 3 G's in league)
RT-McKenzie(our 3rd round pick that the FO thinks is ready)
Back up RT-Jumbo Elliot(a year off rested his ailling back)
As for our defense- Garnes is a better fit for our Cover 2 d than Green(also cheaper)
We are rumered to be close to signing DT Josh Evans from Tenn.
Shadetree was brought back,
AND we just SIGNED SAM COWART to replace Farrior!!!!!

he's younger, faster and better than Jimmy!
Cowart is a top 3 LB in the league.
only a 1.8 miliion signing bonus so it's not a cap killing contract.
We need 1 cb and our rebuilt defense will be complete.
Oh yeah, as for your 'run stopper" Chester. (ha ha ha) this is the guy who couldn't crack the starting line-up on a D that gave up almost 3000 yard rushing last year! Wasn't he the DT on that great Colt's line a few years ago?
