Wouldn't it be awesome if Larry reverted to his old QB-terrorizing ways now that he's back at D-end.

Lovie likes small and fast d-linemen. If he can stay healthy, it makes a lot of sense and maybe he can prove useful.

Great to hear. I hope things work out for Larry.

If he stays healthy he'll be fine.

Will be interesting to see what Love does with TB. Sounds like English is getting a new lease on his football life

Was Lovie's son at NIU when English was there? I know that Lovie talked to the team back then maybe he got to know English.

I started watching my recording of the Miami @ TB game last night. I went to bed with 5 minutes left in the 3rd.

Larry English had not been on the field yet, but the TB-biased commentators where talking about the recent acquisition of Larry English and they showed him suited up on the sidelines wearing #97

You must have missed him. He was playing with the second team defense on third downs in the first half. Also, Akeem Spense is 97, English is 74.

Former first-rounder Larry English among Bucs’ early cuts

The Buccaneers took a flier on Larry English, but it wasn’t a long one.

According to Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times, English is one of 12 Bucs cuts to be reported so far.

The former Chargers’ first-round pick was brought in two weeks ago to see if he could push for a defensive end job, but they apparently didn’t see enough to keep him around.

He was taken 16th overall in the 2009 NFL Draft, one spot before the Buccaneers drafted quarterback Josh Freeman. Hey, it seemed like a good idea at the time.

They’ve also parted ways with cornerbacks Anthony Gaitor, Keith Lewis, Kip Edwards and Marc Anthony; linebackers Nate Askew and Ka’Lial Glaud; fullback Lonnie Pryor, defensive end T.J. Fatinikun and offensive linemen Edawn Coughman, Jeremiah Warren and Andrew Miller.

If that’s the extent of the day’s work, then they’d have 10 more moves to make by tomorrow afternoon’s deadline to get to the 53-man limit.

Would it be smart for Bears to pick up English and try him at LB?

Also English looked well with 2 sacks one game but he is unable to sign practice squad so it was a move to develop youth probably

Its my understanding that if a veteran plays in the first game of the season he is guaranteed his annual salary regardless of when he might be cut later. Some teams might waive a veteran before first game and then pick him up after first game in order to avoid committing to the yearly salary. I would think this maneuver would be used for guys who have been injury prone. Maybe a stretch but could be what they have in mind for English

Cut by Tampa Bay

Bucs have brought Larry back onto the team!
