Steve White Likes Black Pick

April 30th, 2011

The Bay area’s most astute Buccaneers analyst, former Bucs DE Steve White (1996-2001), has put his Twitter stamp of approval on the Tampa Bay’s fifth round pick, undersized and speed-challenged Ahmad Black from the University of Florida.

White’s running commentary on select draft picks included this:

@sgw94 Ahmad Black. Like the pick becuz he’s productive. Also you can hide speed deficit some with cover 2. Safety is definitely a need

If Black’s the smart, instinctive player he seems to be, the Bucs probably didn’t go wrong. Joe’s research also uncovered praise for Black’s future value on special teams.

On a side note, Joe’s also raising a cold beer in hopes that White resumes pounding out incredible Bucs analysis on his blog. C’mon, Steve. We’re aching for some of that meaty stuff.

    Yeah Steve, bring it on back.

    Steve White kinda sucks — I sent him 1 twitter message in my year+ of following him saying “I think there’s lots of blame to go around, not just in the commish office.” about the lockout, and he blocked me from following him.

    Hey 41…..
    Why don’t you go to Steve White blog and educate yourself, before you say anything about one of the few Former NFL players to interact & educate humble fans for free. Steve White has changed the way I watch football.

    I love Steve White — that’s why it’s kinda puzzling he blocked me.
