    Their plan is to line up Winslow not just at his regular tight end spot, but out wide like a receiver, in the slot, at H-back and maybe even in the backfield, thereby making it harder for defenses to locate him. Then comes the real challenge — stopping Winslow. As his career 11.2-yard-per-catch average and career five-catch per-game average indicate, no one has yet found a way to do that consistently. "He's a problem," Bucs coach Raheem Morris said of Winslow, a 6-foot-4, 240-pound football hybrid who came to the Bucs early in the offseason via a trade with the Cleveland Browns. "You can't put a small corner on him because he's too big and you can't put a safety or a linebacker on him because he's too athletic. You basically have to go out and find your own freak and let him mirror him around a little bit. "And then if you got a guy like Jerramy Stevens, you've got two freaks, and so no matter where they line up you can't just call a regular defense. You've got to make one up just to stop them that week, and that's tough living."

    You have no idea (yet). I'd still draft him though.

    We're probably gonna suck, but listening to the expectations and wrinkles our OC & DC are inserting on both sides of the ball, has me excited.
