In the NFL, rookies can become your franchise guy just as much as they can not make the team at all. But as we look at the rookies from this year, it’s tough not to analyze and hope that someday these rookies will lead us to the promise land!
Then we move to Noah Spence, this kid can play. He had some issues coming in as we all know, but it seems as though his off the field issues are behind him. Spence did record his first NFL sack against Arizona but has been quiet overall thus far in his career. Could it be his presence hasn’t been unleashed due to situational play? All we fans can hope for is that he comes around quickly. -Next week against Denver would be nice.
Roberto Aguayo, some of you get frustrated just reading that name, look, he is a rookie who was perfect at FSU (believe me, as a Gator fan, it was terrible to experience). Yes, he is 33.3 percent right now, with one missed extra point, but the Bucs aren’t going to panic, yet, because they not only drafted him the second round, but they also traded up to do so! –He will come around, I believe that.
These are rookies. They are going to miss tackles, make mistakes, and probably frustrate you with missing extra points. I am hopeful that these guys will come into their game, and help us build this team into the playoffs, and eventually back to that trophy that has eluded us since 2003. Believe in the rookies. Believe in the front office, who drafted them, and above all, believe in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers!
