Justin Tuck, Welcome to the Nation.

Today, Oakland started 2014 Free Agency Face-Saving Part 1, by shoring up one of their Defensive End positions. The team has added Two-Time Super Bowl winning DE Justin Tuck on a 2 year contract. While there are still a few holes to fill on the defensive front, this is undoubtedly a good move. The potential to both rush the passer and play stoutly against the run is what any team covets. If Oakland can find three other guys to do this, they'll be golden. Some facts on Justin, in case you've been in a hole the past few years: -Drafted out of the University of Notre Dame by the New York Giants in the third round of the 2005 NFL Draft.  -In 2007, Tuck enjoyed his best season to date, recording 65 tackles, 10 sacks, and two forced fumbles during the regular season. -In Super Bowl XLII Tuck repeatedly pressured New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, recording two sacks and a forced fumble. Many folks still suggest that he should have won Super Bowl MVP honors. -In 2013, recorded 64 tackles with 11 sacks - a return to form? I think this is a good start to day 2 of free agency, and look forward to pairing J.T. with some other solid FA DE and DT's. Can you say Jared Allen, BJ Raji, Henry Melton??? Come on Mark/Reggie!...
