Ron Cook is happy

And why shouldn't he be? The Bucs will outperform expectations all season long. Roll the bandwagon from the big red barn. It's time to paint her up and fix them wheels.

I will pinch myself if the Steelers deal Burress to trade up in the draft and get Gallery to run the football and take pressure off Tommy Maddox. As Cook quotes Terry Bradshaw:

[Tommy Maddox] can't carry the football team. If you think he can, you're mistaken. They've got to be better at running the football. If they can do that, he'll be more effective. But he's not the type of quarterback who can win for you by himself.

Bradshaw is not insulting Maddox. He's talking Stiller football that's all. If you want to run the football, you must have a dominating offensive line. Witness Carolina last year. Stephen Davis gave some great quotes to the press last year about how easy it was to run behind a line like that. Seriously, if the Steelers trade Burress and every other draft pick to move up and get Gallery, everyone will be happy with the 2004 draft haul come November. And Cowher wouldn't have to pose in a tux with Gallery in a bridal dress.
