Now that Ndamukong Suh is out in Tampa, some Buc fans are trying to diminish his effectiveness the past two seasons. It's a bad look. He was a solid, durable player who won't be easily replaced. There's a reason Hicks was still available 10 weeks into free agency.

I asked Jon Gruden why Ronde Barber is a Hall of Famer: "Because he's the best nickel corner of all time. TD maker, turnover machine and the best pound-for-pound tackler you will find. Rare instincts, off the chart intangibles and never seen before durability.'' That's a wrap.
