Bucs Sign Fullback That Will Beat Your Ass

The Bucs filled their roster spot this morning with fullback Chris Pressley. Pressley is a rookie out of Wisocnsin and was on the Cincinnati practice squad when the Bucs signed him.

Known for feats of strength in the weight room, he earned a reputation as a powerful lead blocker at the University of Wisconsin.

How strong is he? This strong.

I’m counting seven 45-pound plates on each side plus a ten pounder. Adding the bar, Pressley is squatting 695 pounds for nine reps. Oh yeah, that’s gonna hurt. I know what it’s like. When I was in college, I would sometimes carry up to four books in my backpack at a time. And just to show off, sometimes I’d even carry them on one shoulder. RAWWWWRRRRR!!!!

Earnest Graham had a shit day against New England as a fullback. He consistently missed blocks or got flat overpowered. With both B.J. Askew and Byron Storer done for the year, signing a fullback who is known for being powerful is a good move. And it’s yet another chapter in the book Raheem Morris is writing, tentatively titled “Don’t Fuck With Me”.

Seriously, Morris is on a tear. One of his favorite expressions is “I’ll only tolerate you until I can replace you.” He wasn’t kidding.
