Nassib: Bucs Have Talent
September 9th, 2018
New Bucs DL Carl Nassib.
If nothing else, the Bucs have an interesting guy they just acquired o the defensive line.
Last week the Bucs claimed Carl Nassib after a winless team couldn’t use him. That either says a lot about the Bucs’ defensive line or the Browns’ ability to judge talent. Or both.
Nassib, who would rather have cash in the bank over a shot with Taylor Swift, feels fortunate to be with the Bucs and told Joe that in his short time with the team, he is impressed with his defensive line teammates.
“They definitely have a lot of talent,” Nassib said. “I’m looking forward to working with these guys.”
Joe also asked Nassib, since he will be with the Bucs for less than a week, how he can realistically help the Bucs get to Drew Brees since he would have such a short time to learn much or his teammates’ traits.
“Fortunately, I think I am a pretty smart guy. I’m trying to learn as much as I possibly can as quick as I can. I’m trying to avoid messing up.”

I like the addition of Carl, but hopefully he gets very little playing time.
September 9th, 2018 at 8:26 am
He probably shouldn’t have called the Brown’s DC, “TOAD!”
Other than that, he seems pretty bright.
Compound interest is amazing, I just cashed a $5K Treasury Bond purchased in 1990’s and got $15K.
When he spoke about the “Rule of sevens” on Hard Knocks, his Brownie teammates were stunned in disbelief. He was incorrect though, it’s 7% interest that doubles your principle every 7 years not 10%. That’s why it;s called the rule of seven(s).
Geaux Bucs!

Let’s hope he’s right!!! There is one consensus opinion. The pass rush will be the key to our defense as shared on the last thread.
If our DL can handle N.O.’s OL we have a solid chance.
September 9th, 2018 at 8:36 am
No. Nassib is correct. It is 10% every seven years that gets you close to doubling your money. Maybe you should actually do the math before you correct someone on math. Just saying…
September 9th, 2018 at 8:37 am
Well stated from a guy that just got cut by a winless 2017 team. He will be lucky to not be a healthy scratch.
September 9th, 2018 at 8:43 am
Is he even gonna be active today? I doubt it
September 9th, 2018 at 8:46 am
Let’s try to plug him in at CB!
September 9th, 2018 at 8:51 am
Not much chance of him seeing action this week.
He was chosen for the final 53 with the browns, until they claimed guys off waivers.
I wouldn’t mock the Browns though. They may not do much again this year, but Baker Mayfield seems to be a potentially good qb, and no one can miss on all high draft picks for so long. At some point they pretty much have to turn things around. When they do, they’ll no longer be a joke.
September 9th, 2018 at 8:52 am
What else would he say?
September 9th, 2018 at 8:53 am
@Miguel Grande
“Rule of 72” states that 72 divided by your interest rate will give you how many years it will take to double your principle. Therefore @ 10% interest it will take about 7 years to double, and @7% interest it will take 10 years to double.
Hope Nassib can calculate some sacks today!!!

Marc, why would we do that? We’re well-covered at CB, even if we start rookies.
If we’d drafted Davis or Stewart in the first round, they would be expected to start. Taken a round later, they both already play like first rounders. The only reason people would make a big deal of it is because of the first three teams we face.
But year to year, teams change. They go from good to bad frequently. Saints were 11-5 last year. They might go 9-7 or 7-9 this year. Eagles are a one year wonder. They won the Superbowl, but lost half the players who got them there.
At least when our turn comes, we’re built to last.

Bucs have to win at least one of these three games, but two would be a great birthday present for me (Wednesday).
September 9th, 2018 at 9:02 am
Well covered at corner?
Built to last?
September 9th, 2018 at 9:03 am
Built TO last or Built FOR last….
September 9th, 2018 at 9:09 am
BONZI
I was joking, thought that was apparent.
September 9th, 2018 at 9:39 am
This coming from a guy who has spent his entire NFL career with the Cleveland Browns.
1-31 career record
lol

Carl Nassib might be a victim of his surrounding talent and his coaches. He has the measureables to excel. He was raw coming out of college but was drafted in the 3rd round because his upside was high. For a young player, who did not cost us a draft pick or an insane amount of money, he was low risk with the potential to benefit us in the near future. I like the move.
September 9th, 2018 at 9:45 am
What else is he gonna say…” yeah this squad realy isn’t that much more impressive over any other line I’ve played on. I mean, I guess they’re ok but nothing special”
Talk is meaningless when asking players what they think of their new teams. It holds more value when asking about the rosters they departed from when they are good players not guys off the scrap pile
September 9th, 2018 at 9:47 am
Im always amazed how fans who(joes to) who pretend the record of an entire team falls on 1 guy, this case a back up defensive end. LMAO.
September 9th, 2018 at 10:13 am
It’s 50% over 2 years that doubles your money….
September 9th, 2018 at 10:20 am
The Bucs front office rules of compound interest goes something like this:
Step1: get signed by the team for more money than you are worth and for a longer term than you will be with the team.
Step 2: get a “mysterious” injury and either walk around practice in the dreaded boot or a floppy hat (make sure to stand right next to the GM and/or Glazers and smile for the cameras).
Step 3: get the head coach to bully reporters and fans who even dare to ask a question about an injury.
Step 4: get cut with many years remaining on your contract so that you keep collecting Glazer Loot, uh, I mean “compound interest”.

A friend of mine at work is a long time die hard browns fan and says a lot of people were saying they made a mistake. But like someone above said, its all the talent they already have at that position. I hope he contributes a lot….nice job Mr. Licht!

No, as stated it is rule of 72. So its 36% over 2 years compounded will double your investment.
Even simple interest 50% gives you more than double.

yr 1 $1500.00
yr 2 $2250.00

Thank you and kudos to Buc4L and George, who correctly interpret the “Rule of 72”! I have explained it to my office staff so many times that my daughter made a framed picture which hangs in my office, showing a giant bar graph illustrating the principle.
Now, if we could just get someone to teach the King’s English, grammar and spelling to the faithful. I am sure that I am the only one who thinks less of a posted comment, which appears to be written by a 2nd grader.

What NFL team doesn’t have talent?

“Well covered at corner?
Built to last?”
I know you are just trolling, but in case any real fans have doubts, allow me to explain:
• Both 2nd round cornerbacks played like starters in the preseason. One is a shut down corner, the other is a turnover machine. On top of that, we have a quality slot CB in VHIII. So yes, well covered.
If either of those rookie CBs had been drafted in the first round, we would expect him to start. If we were playing against the Bears this week, would doubts be as strong? Nope. But this division is an up and down division. The Saints will not be as good this year.
• Built to last…yes. This team has some vets, and most of them have 2-3 year contracts remaining. This team has a lot of team drafted talent who are doing very well too, and they are under contract or about to get new contracts.
• If the Bucs were to pull off the improbable and win a superbowl this year, they would not lose a lot of important talent like the Eagles did. Contracts will prevent that.
• Even in 2-3 years, when the older guys contracts start to expire, the team has young talent that is being developed to step in…good talent.
So yes…I am right.

And if you think we cannot win a superbowl, click my name to find out why there is hope.

@tickdr
As I’ve stated many times I only participate on two blogs…this one of course and a political blog at the WAPO.
The difference in writing is pretty profound. I suspect I am like you…I certainly give more credit to those who write with some skill. Fortunately we do we have plenty here.
The guys who simply use ad hominem and insults are the ones I try to scroll past. Occasionally I take the bait and I say mea culpa because that is on ME!!! Argue with the village idiot you have to realize you too are an idiot.
Some people comment on the length of posts…they prefer one or two liners.
I get that and respect their opinion but I read a lot…in fact most of the long posts here when they’re written by folks who put some thought into them.
I won’t mention favorites because there are so many and I fear leaving someone out.

Thank You Buc4L that was getting painful
September 9th, 2018 at 11:53 am
If you don’t know the difference between a Treasury Bond and and an Index Mutual Fund, you are already in trouble. One has the potential to make you more prosperous with some risks and the other just keeps you from losing what you have with no risks.

If you had invested 5K in Amazon stock in 1998, you would be worth $2.4 million today.
September 9th, 2018 at 12:07 pm
Btw it’s really 69.3 for continuous compounding and 72 for annual !!
Go Bucs !!!
September 9th, 2018 at 12:30 pm
You’re not in any trouble financially if you are gifted a portfolio of T-Bills that you can cash $15K annually tax free as well as risk free. I invested $0, my parents made a wise long term investment for their 4 children while avoiding estate taxes.
I was taught the rule of sevens by a world famous investment advisor on Wall St.
Do the math, $1,000 @7% over 7 years equals $1,960.78. Theoretically doubled. You collect interest on the interest as well. That’s what compound means.

Nassib will play and make at least 1 play today that effects the NO play. He gets after it.
September 9th, 2018 at 1:16 pm
$1000 starting:
1000 x 1.07 = 1070 at end of first year
1070 x 1.07 = 1144.90 at end of year 2
1144.90 x 1.07 = 1225.04 at end of year 3
1225.04 x 1.07 = 1310.80 at end of year 4
1310.80 x 1.07 = 1402.55 at end of year 5
1402.55 x 1.07 = 1500.73 at end of year 6
1500.73 x 1.07 = 1605.78 at end of year 7
But if we continue:
1605.78 x 1.07 = 1718.19 at end of year 8
1718.19 x 1.07 = 1838.46 at end of year 9
1838.46 x 1.07 = 1967.15 at end of year 10
72 divided by 7% interest rate ~10.28 years to double your original investment.

September 9th, 2018 at 1:53 pm
tickrdr, you’re wrong.
$1,000 @7% is $1,075.27
You collect interest on the interest.
They used to teach this stuff in the 2nd grade!
It’s not 1,000 x 1.07
It’s 1000 divided by .93
