AMC Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 http://www2.tbo.com/content/2010/oct/23/231218/bucs-sign-rookie-guard-release-reserve-fb-pressley/news-breaking/TAMPA - The Bucs made a roster move today to ensure they don't fall short of offensive linemen Sunday when they host the St. Louis Rams at Raymond James Stadium.With starting left guard Keydrick Vincent (back) and starting right guard Davin Joseph (knee) listed as questionable for the game, the Bucs signed rookie guard Derek Hardman and promoted him from the practice squad.To make room for Hardman, the Bucs released reserve fullback Chris Pressley, meaning rookie Erik Lorig has taken over, perhaps permanently, as the backup at that position.

whizzo Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 yes, sign him. he's a mauler and can pave the way for benson much better than anyone on the roster right now. of course, that means peerman (or coats, if he's still here) will have to go.

ArmyBengal Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 I would certainly have no issue with this move in the least.Coats and Peerman are likie having a player on your fantasy bench you hope you never have to use.At some point in time, you realize they serve little to no purpose and you should have gotten rid of them long ago.

jjakq27 Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 I'd say yes but who do you cut.Also, funny that he gets turned loose the week after we play them. I know he wasn't here that long, so maybe it's just a coincidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 I wish,... But for some reason... Our front office doesnt believe in getting a fullback... Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalszoneBilly Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Let me know when a decent offensive lineman becomes available. That'll get my interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 I guess I'd rather have Pressley than Peerman. I don't know if we as a fanbase would really give a crap about Pressley were it not for his "touching" Hard Knocks story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if we as a fanbase would really give a crap about Pressley were it not for his "touching" Hard Knocks story.Oh yeah, I forgot about his touching story. I do remember how he used to f**king crush people though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyBengal Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Ok, few different things here:#1. Who do you cut ?? Peerman. Unless you think he's going to provide you more sitting behind Benson, Scott, and Leonard than a true FB would blocking for Benson.#2. A better o-line would be great, but this o-line has the ability to run block FAR better than pass block, so I would look at this move as taking care of the one thing Brat doesn't need to continually being "dumbed down" due to rookies and new guys.#3. I'm going to be honest and say that I never saw a single episode of the Bengals Hard Knocks, so I can't comment about the touching story being talked about, but I can tell you I saw him absolutely blow people the f*ck up at the point of attack and can't see that being anything but a positive when looking at our offensive woes to this point.Would Pressley be the savior of the team ?? No, but it certainly wouldn't be a step in the wrong direction either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem that way.I won't hold my breath but I wouldn't mind seeing the immortal one, Dan Coats, let go. He's not really been much of a problem this year but he shoulda been gone long ago. as for Pressley I say why not. If anything we can get him on the roster and coach him up for next year.
