It's Brooks spotDid June really play that badly to be cut so a safety can play his spot?
I hope Hayes gets it.

Did June really play so badly that they wouldn't move him back to WLB, the position he played well when in Indy.

and....they kept other LBsMaybe I should just ask- did anybody watch any Bucs games?Is June done?

I didn't watch very many Buc's games but I think you may have hit the head on the nail and he was a product of Indy's system. he never did as well as a Buc. I find it hard to believe Phillips can play WIL all the time - maybe some sort of rotation deal where he goes from DB to LB depending on down and distance.......some sort of hybrid role. My 2 cents.and....they kept other LBsMaybe I should just ask- did anybody watch any Bucs games?Is June done?

When Indianapolis allowed June to enter free agency, he lasted well into the second tier of free agent signings (nearly a month IIRC) before Tampa signed him. I don't think there was much question that, even though he seemed to thrive in coverage and pursuit after making the transition to LB from safety, June wasn't a prototypical linebacker. He certainly wasn't considered as well-rounded as Mike Peterson or David Thornton. Many argued that June would struggle some at SLB, Tampa-2 or not, as a Buc. He was able to work himself into some nickel packages over the past two seasons, but didn't have anywhere the same impact he did in Indy.New DC Jim Bates wants a combination of size and speed in his backers. It's debatable whether June still has the speed, but he certainly doesn't have the size. Angelo Crowell fits the Bates profile much better, as does Quincy Black, who I believe should have an edge over both Jermaine Phillips and Geno Hayes outside.I don't see another team giving June a three-down role this season. He might find a niche as a nickel down specialist, but I think his days as an effective base defensive player are probably over.and....they kept other LBsMaybe I should just ask- did anybody watch any Bucs games?Is June done?
