Joe had a Bucs fan come at him on Twitter after the first night of the draft this past weekend, outraged the Bucs selected Ohio State receiver Emeka Egbuka in the first round.
“Who would you rather have as edge rushers, the Bucs’ edge rushers or the Falcons’?”
Joe just laughed.
James Pearce, who the Dixie Chicks traded back up into the first round to grab, is a walking red flag. He has all sorts of issues off the field. Word on the street is that Pearce isn’t exactly coachable, either. But here is the thing about Pearce facing the Bucs. Where is he going to play for the Dixie Chicks? Joe assumes right defensive end.
Ha! He will be going up against Tristan Wirfs twice a season, the best left tackle in the game. So Joe is supposed to be triggered by Pearce going up against Wirfs? Please.
Joe isn’t worried one iota about anyone facing Wirfs.
Yeah, “This Joe” will confess to was hoping Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht would have drafted a defensive tackle at No. 19. But Joe is more than happy the Bucs got this Egbuka.
Joe doesn’t give a damn what dude you put at right defensive end. Wirfs stands on the opposite side of the line, smiles and waves hello.
Good luck with that, Dixie Chicks.
