Re: Simeon Rice released by Bucs

I'm on the fence with him. I still have ill feelings from the Bruce Smith era, he was only out for himself and his record IMO.. I think Rice has some of the same selfishness and would buck Grilliams a little if he impeded his style (see Archuleta, Adam)..

On the other hand, he instantly (if healthy) becomes far and away the best pass rusher on the team and someone capable of 6-8 sacks.. With him on one side & Carter on the other that will cause some double teams and open gaps for Landry or Taylor to blitz thru.. I wonder how much of his 'failing the physical' was contract related since they asked him to restructure and he refused.
