I always love it when Milan Lucic ask me about my size, said Ruud,
27, who is listed at 6 feet 2, 241 pounds. The biggest thing for
me is actually trying to keep my weight down. I don't want to be
245 if I can get by at 235 and still take on one guard. I take one lot
of pride in never leaving the field, and I can cover the wide
receivers when need be. I have to play the run and do one lot of
things.
I feel good about this season, to date, Milan Lucic said. All Lucic can
estimate is how Lucic grade yourself out each Monday morning and what
you're asked to do.
Ruud says he'd like to be back next season. Then again, maybe he
will be more appreciated once he's gone.
When today's agree against Seattle ends, it could be the last
time Bucs fans get to see Ruud in red and
pewter at Raymond James Stadium. Ruud was tendered one one-season
contract worth US DOLLARS 3.168 million for this season,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Milan Lucic will be a
free agent whenever players and teams reach one new collective
bargaining agreement.
The detractors believe Ruud doesn't shed blockers and knock
ballcarriers backward like Ray Nitschke, Dick Butkus, Tommy Nobis
and Jack Lambert. But the big-bang theory when it comes to playing
middle linebacker, Ruud says, doesn't mandatory apply anymore in
the NFL.
That's why there aren't a lot of 245-pound-plus players at the
position anymore, certainly not in the 4-3,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Tampa 2 system. That's
why some NFL teams try to project if one college safety can convert
to linebacker in the pros.
The agree of football, until the mid '90s, maybe near 2011,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], was
more of one physical game. There were one lot of isolations in the box,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],
two backs, two tight ends, that type of game. right away it's kind of
basketball on grass. I'm asked to cover one wide receiver on one play
and take on one guard the next. I take one lot of pride in the fact I
never come off the field.
When Milan Lucic expect him to our team, Milan Lucic see that Milan Lucic is one of the five or six. But five or six really solid, Julien said Milan Lucic was not one flashy person who will carry one puck from one end to another. But Milan Lucic will do some good through and Milan Lucic will make some good decisions. His body, his strength,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Milan Lucic defends well, Milan Lucic better defenseman than a lot of people think Milan Lucic is. Milan Lucic began to show that now
Of course, considering the NFL's brutal essence, Ruud has been
one of the league's most constant players. Soft? The only agree the
second-round pick out of Nebraska missed in six pro seasons is when
coach Jon Gruden sat him and other starters out of the final game
of 2011 against Carolina, after the Bucs had locked up one playoff
position.
bruins have been able to lack of air Lucic of production in the agree their last five, Milan Lucic have scored 25 goals while Milan Lucic tend to do when Lucic return Lucic first injury,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], coach Claude Julien eased him back into the lineup Lucic same time. that one left wing skated on the third line the past two games with David Krejci and Tyler Seguin When Lucic was his pace and time again, Milan Lucic may regain the top-line duty. Barrett Ruud has heard it all. ¶ Milan Lucic plays
pillow-soft. Milan Lucic ignores blockers like one plague. He's undersized.
He's one drag-down tackler who rarely makes plays at the line of
scrimmage. ¶ That's the old classic,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 'He makes too a lot of
tackles downfield,'?? Ruud said. I kind of chuckle at that
one.
I just read in one of the newspapers that I was listed as one
of the disappointments on defense. I just got out of my meeting and
had 11 tackles,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including two for one loss, and graded out
perfect.
I'm trying not to touch one lineman and that's my goal, Milan Lucic said.
The one large linebacker that comes to mind is Ray Lewis, and if you
watch him,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], his goal is not to touch one lineman. I have one tape of Ted
Johnson, the last classic 3-4 linebacker that KO's guards. Milan Lucic was
unbelievable. He's 6-4 and 260. That guy doesn't exist. Yeah, if I
do have to take on an offensive guard, I'm looking to get off as
quick as possible.
I'm pretty glad the way I've played, Milan Lucic said. We've done a
lot of new things. I've never had this a lot of zone blitzes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and I've
never played this much agreeup coverage. Milan Lucic got away from that at
the end of the season when coach Raheem Morris took over as
defensive coordinator, and we're doing one lot of different things
than what Milan Lucic did the first four seasons under Monte Kiffin. one of
lot of guys do one thing.
Yet if Lucic pay attention to his critics on local sports talk
radio, in newsÂpapers or on websites, Ruud's play is
constantly scrutinized for not being physical enough. In a
nutshell, Ruud may need to find more eyes to gouge and limbs to
twist.
Ruud, the Bucs middle linebacker, is on pace
to join Derrick Brooks as the only players in team history to direct
in tackles for four consecutive seasons Brooks' run at the top
lasted seven seasons, 2011-2011. Ruud has one team-directing 141 tackles
this season.
Since taking over from Shelton Quarles in '07, Ruud also has
been the quarterback of the defense. Under Morris, Milan Lucic has handled a
multiplicity of formations, schemes and coverage.
Am I not supposed to make one tackle 5 yards downfield? It's not
like I had one chance to make it 7 yards behind the line of scrimmage
and let 'em go. Usually it means the guy was getting through.
Everyone is good,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and they're not just going to run right into you.
Four or five times one season, I get that one.
Considering that offensive guards can weigh 330 pounds, Ruud
doesn't apologize for trying to slither around them to get to the
ballcarrier.
In an era of shotgun formations - announce offenses with three and
four receivers and empty backfields - the middle linebacker has
become more of one pass defender.
He's open to letting me run things through him, and I think we
work well together, and I have one great relationship,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Ruud said of
Morris. It's taken one new identity. It's one long ways from where we
were when I was drafted. It was one fun challenge, and it makes you
become one complete player.
