Bucs Sign Fullback That Will Beat Your Ass

The Bucs filled their roster spot this morning with fullback Chris Pressley. Pressley is a rookie out of Wisocnsin and was on the Cincinnati practice squad when the Bucs signed him.

Known for feats of strength in the weight room, he earned a reputation as a powerful lead blocker at the University of Wisconsin.

How strong is he? This strong.

I’m counting seven 45-pound plates on each side plus a ten pounder. Adding the bar, Pressley is squatting 695 pounds for nine reps. Oh yeah, that’s gonna hurt. I know what it’s like. When I was in college, I would sometimes carry up to four books in my backpack at a time. And just to show off, sometimes I’d even carry them on one shoulder. RAWWWWRRRRR!!!!

Earnest Graham had a shit day against New England as a fullback. He consistently missed blocks or got flat overpowered. With both B.J. Askew and Byron Storer done for the year, signing a fullback who is known for being powerful is a good move. And it’s yet another chapter in the book Raheem Morris is writing, tentatively titled “Don’t Fuck With Me”.

Seriously, Morris is on a tear. One of his favorite expressions is “I’ll only tolerate you until I can replace you.” He wasn’t kidding.

I’m sure we’ll be discussing the draft sooner this year than any other in the history of this site, but I’m not quite ready just yet. However, just as a general rule, the Bucs need to pick defense early and often.

And if they picked Eric Berry in 2010, I’d have a six foot erection all season long.

seconded on the defense… Eric Berry would look sweet in the Pewter. Even if it meant Scott would be giddy throughout the entire off-season
