Some of you people are funny. Why in the world would the vikings give up their franchise LT and a very good back for a third or fourth round pick. The best the bucs can do is try to get a decent RB and stick it out with Penn or who ever else can play that position on the current roster. A good LT is hard to come by in the NFL and if a team has one, they wil not give him away for anything less than a first or second round pick.

I say bring up Darby from the PC.If were not goin use um why did we draft um..

Posted by  Ethan Fleming, Orlando fl on 10/03  at  02:26 PM

Two words “MICHAEL TURNER” they should snag this guy and use 2 round pick if necessary

Posted by  eric Guenette, west palm beach on 10/03  at  01:43 PM

Call up Darby… We’re not going to get anyone much more talented than what we have now… so, why waste the draft pick? I’d rather see a trade for a tackle than another running back.

we need a LT more than the RB. Pittman/Graham/Darby will be adequate.
What we need is a good LT to make sure Garcia doesn’t get clobbered from his blind side, Because once we lose our QB, we might as well kiss the season goodbye.

hey, here’s one for you to go out on a limb.
Sign Ricky williams.  He will be dirt cheap if he gets re-instated. go out and get soneone else too, but it will be interesting to see if Ricky has anything left.

The Bucs must add another RB, whether it is via a trade or giving Darby a chance.  If Pittman or Graham gets injured, then what?  Also, I don’t know about you, but Pittman can drive me crazy.  Sometimes he looks good and other times bad.  Think about it…remember the past fumbles and the times it seems he trips over his own feet, or gets tackled by the shoe laces.  The guy can drive you crazy.  I will say this, he does seem to be running a bit more energized this season, so hopefully the worst is behind him.  The Bucs must add another RB, and Moore could be a nice addition if it is at the right price.  A 6th rounder, but no higher.  Turner from SD is what I would like, but that would be too high of price at this point.

Alright everybody lets go on strike, lets head over to one buc place and scream out: WE WANT DARBY!! WE WANT DARBY!! lol. but who knows a trade could be a good thing, why not Brian Calhoun from the lions, or maybe JJ Arrington from the cardinals. who knows theres plenty of possibilities.

im sure the buc fans have no idea who meweldy moore is. as a vikings fan we love the guy. he is not a high profile rb,we know that.he is the guy we wish all the vikes would play like. he dosen’t get paid alot,but the guy plays like he does.every in mn knows who meweldy is because his purple jersey never stops.if the bucs get him,congrads to your city. YOU get one of our true favorites. i know you’ll love him to when you watch him.

I would just take McKinnie off their hands.  He could end up being the LT of the future.  I don’t particularly like the Moore trade because Darby could end up being the same type of back.  So there’s no true value in the deal.  Caddy was running better, and his injury is going to hurt, but Pittman and Graham have been running pretty good also.  Pittman did used to be our feature back, so he has experience and won’t embarass anybody.  I think you need to pick up a LT before you think about another running back.  A good LT can make a lot of RB’s look good.  I’d offer a 3rd or 4th rounder for McKinnie…he was a top 10 selection out of Miami for a reason.  So getting him with a 3rd or 4th is more than a steal.

Posted by  Bob Smith, Tampa on 10/03  at  08:52 AM

Im thinking…Tiki Barber would come out of retirement for the right price. The Bucs can afford it, they are 18 million under the cap at this point. Im thinking thats more than enough money. I will even come out of retirement to play for the Bucs, for that kind of money.

Posted by  Ken Bagwell, Indianapolis, IN on 10/03  at  08:49 AM

Minn won’t give Moore away cheaply. I have watched him all his career. He is a good 3rd down back, who can catch the ball (not that the current Viking squad could ever utilize this) and is better between the tackles than you might think. He is productive every time he touches the ball, in fact there have been times the Viking faithfull have cried for him to get the ball more.

Posted by  zac chase, West Palm Beach on 10/03  at  08:47 AM

Giving up a 4th rounder for Moore??? why? We need to stay the course. Split carries between Pittman and Graham and sign Darby from the PS. Give me a break, we wouldn’t even give up a 4th round pick for Randy Moss, now we are thinking about getting a 3rd string back…I’d rather re-sign 87 year-old Charley Garner

Posted by  Drew Baker, Tampa, FL on 10/03  at  07:31 AM

I agree with everyone else. But I think something we should look at is maybe sending Trotter to the Bengals (as was mentioned). They have two very serviceable LT’s. Plus whatever we would have had to give up to get Mckinnie and chester taylor would have been way too much. We are going to be fine this year as long as we get good play from LT.

Posted by  Michael Harris, Oldsmar, FL on 10/03  at  06:45 AM

One hates to see any player injured, including Williams.  Having said that: Williams has never produced since his first 8 games.  I felt he was sliding backward.  I am surprised the Bucs haven’t promoted Darby.  Evidently they see something in him they don’t like.  Anyone have any ideas on that?

Posted by  mike kobres, ft myers on 10/03  at  01:26 AM

We need to talk to Rasta Rickey!

Posted by  derek davis, winter haven on 10/03  at  12:48 AM

talked to culpepper and now after mckinnie I bet hes all for it considering all the boating we have around here and maybe simms could be gilligan (he kinds of reminds you of him except blonde) but all joking aside mckinnie is a very solid lt and taylor is servicable mixed in with pittman I think mckinnie/taylor would be worth a 4/5th round picks

Posted by  Alex H, Orlando on 10/02  at  10:33 PM

Why would you drop the Mckinnie deal with chester TAYLOR? Offer them a fourth and get them here. There is too much to be had for a small price. A fifth and a six isn’t a bad deal either. Whatever you do, do it quick…Where about to see dwight Freeny for 60 minutes. Garcia needs this. These two players could be part of ou future. Moore who??? Why? Isn’t he third on their depth charts? Leave Darby on the Prac squad and get the deal done. You have two areas of need not one Gruden and Allen. Moore can’t block! lol

Posted by  Tim Gault, Corpus Christi on 10/02  at  10:19 PM

I heard Tiki Barber tonight on his NFL Radio show tell Ronde to tease Jon Gruden with the idea of having Tiki at Running Back for the Bucs.  Ronde said, “Not a chance.”  I say, “why not.” Jon Gruden, call Tiki!

Posted by  Travis Lynam, Morristown, TN on 10/02  at  09:54 PM

Yea, what the heck is up with Moore from Minn.. I thought we had a very good back in Darby. Who knows who would pass up if we give up a 1st day pick. Seems like Grud is grasping for straws since he knows his days are numbered….

I would like for Tampa to consider a rb on their practice squad if he is still there. The 7th rd draft choice in Kenneth Darby. I think that Tampa need to first look to this young running back who showed a possible sleeper role with Tampa Bay. He did set a record at Alabama didn’t he!

Posted by  Herb Johnson, Nashville, TN on 10/02  at  09:44 PM

Nice thought on Tiki but unless his contract ran out with the Giants, which I don’t think it did, he would be in a Giant uniform if he came out of retirement.

Posted by  Patrick Dotson, Tampa,FL on 10/02  at  09:34 PM

tiki is making 2-3 million a year to sit on his ##### and talk football…why would he want to come back and get beat up again….darby needs to have a chance to prove himself…he looked really good in the preseason…giving up picks is stoopid to me….

Posted by  Bob Smith, Tampa on 10/02  at  08:49 PM

I think we need to get Tiki Barber out of retirement. Tiki would be the best option for the Bucs at RB.

Posted by  Preston Anderson, Stockbridge, GA on 10/02  at  08:39 PM

This would be a waste of effort considering Moore couldn’t carry the team and the fact I have enough faith in Pittman and Graham to be a two headed monster and get the job done since their both tested and experienced backs. If not then give Darby a chance to do his thing and see what happens. My thoughts and prayers go out to Cadillac as he hopefully makes an effective and speedy recovery after such an unfortunate injury. I’m behind you Caddy 100% and GO BUCS!!!
