Another Buccaneer In Top-100
May 9th, 2012
The can’t-miss Man Channel spring/summer feature, The Top-100 Players of 2012, is back for a new episode tonight at 8 p.m. when players 71-80 of the countdown will be unveiled and profiled.
Honorees are selected by the votes of NFL players only. Donald Penn checked in at No. 97 and, per Buccaneers.com, another Buccaneer will be revealed tonight.
(For those confused or slaves to Outhouse Networks, the Man Channel is NFL Network.)
Joe’s betting on Carl Nicks to grab this latest slot. Just a hunch.

He should be higher

If it is Nicks it doesn’t count for the Bucs till next year.

Smart pick Joe. It’ll be damn interesting if the NFL players pick Penn over Joseph, so wondering if Joseph is in this slot.
May 9th, 2012 at 10:58 am
If this pick is Nicks then Joseph is likely not in the Top 100 at all. That doesn’t seem right- so I doubt it’s Nicks at this spot.

Vincent Jackson?
May 9th, 2012 at 11:13 am
Vincent Jackson is my guess…. Nicks is an all-pro and just might be the top Guard in the league. He has to be top 50
May 9th, 2012 at 11:19 am
Joe Thomas was #82. Considering he or Jake Long are the best LT in the league it would be hard for an offenseive guard to pull ahead of the leagues best Left Tackle…. I bet its Vincent Jackson

I’d say I’d like to see Nicks around fifty, but you never know with a top 100 list that contains Tebow and a fullback.
May 9th, 2012 at 11:41 am
I don’t think Joseph is going to make the list this year. There can only be so many and so many are more deserving.
May 9th, 2012 at 11:41 am
I think this one will be Davin Joseph or Steven Jackson. Nicks should be in the top 20.
May 9th, 2012 at 11:46 am
BigMacAttack Yes im glad we traded for Steven Jackson, what a 3 headed monster we will have with Doug Martin, Blount, and SJax. LOL
Im assuming you mean Vincent Jackson?

Its Davin or VJackson.. Nicks is top30
May 9th, 2012 at 12:04 pm
This is just a popularity contest, doens’t help anyone win any games.
Eli Manning was off the list last year? He was the best QB this past year.
I don’t put too much stock into this, but I see how a “slow time” in NFL news brings this up.

My money is on Koenen
May 9th, 2012 at 1:54 pm
Gotta be Joseph… no way Penn is a better player than Joseph, and no way Joseph is a better player than Nicks.
Oh, and for all intents and purposes, Nicks and/or VJax would count as Buccaneers, not Saints/Chargers on this list. If you go to the section on nfl.com about the top 100, sort the players revealed so far by team, and select the Titans, you’ll only see Johnson. If you select Rams, you see Chris Long and Cortland Finnegan. Evidently, the list considers players to be members of the team they are with currently, the the teams they were on last season.

@Travis
I do that all of the time. My son yells at me for saying Steven. I’m sure once VINCENT starts beasting it up on the field I will get his name right all of the time.
May 9th, 2012 at 2:39 pm
Nicks was #55 last year. I doubt he fell to the 80s. My bet is that its Jackson.
May 9th, 2012 at 3:08 pm
Could even be Davin….
May 9th, 2012 at 3:43 pm
Maybe barber
May 9th, 2012 at 4:56 pm
Blount
May 9th, 2012 at 4:59 pm
Barber?
No way. In watching 100-81, its become pretty clear that this year’s version of the Top 100 is more of an update of last year’s list than a completely new list. And it seems to be based on 2011’s performance.
That’s why I’d be totally shocked if it was Barber. He didn’t do anything in 2011 to move him from completely out of the Top 100 into the Top 100 for 2012.
That’s also why I don’t think its Nicks. I don’t see how he’d fall 20 spots. But I guess its possible.

When I go to that site, it has videos of highlights on every player revealed except for Donald Penn, his video has Woodson and some lady saying how overrated he is.

Penn is lazy which won’t set well with Schiano. He is toast.
