Bucs win, look good, no Clayton sighting…..


In the final pre-season game of the year, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers put together a solid, solid showing. There were plenty of things to come away happy about. QB Rudy Carpenter was more than solid, completing 15 of 22 passes for 203 yards and 2 touchdowns with a 127.7 passer rating.He was exceptional on a 6 play 90 yard drive which ended in Arrelious Benn collecting his second touchdown of the game.

Knock, Knock Clayton. Did you hear that?


Well, it didn’t take the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and head coach Raheem Morris to send a message to the players, RB Derrick Ward has been released by the Bucs this afternoon. Tampa didn’t even wait until the final cuts which will come later in the week, Ward was cut in the first round. Ouch. And the fact that he was cut means that he would have little to no trade value to another team. I’m sure a team will sign him, and give him a workout, but there goes another failed experiment.

Bucs vs. Jaguars review


The 30 minute lightening storm which delayed the Buccaneers game Saturday night generated more energy than the Buccaneers. QB Josh Johnson, filling in for Josh Freeman, looked serviceable, building the Bucs to a 13-6 lead before leaving the game. And other than Barrett Ruuds’ 80 yard interception return, there really wasn’t much to get excited about.

What I am watching for on Saturday night


The third preseason playoff game is widely regarded as the most important of all of the four. The starters play longer, coordinators try to fine tune a few things. The first stringers stay out to play longer. The Buccaneers coaching staff has said that the first team offensive line is going to play at least the entire first half.

Stroughter looks locked in


The Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense appears to be taking shape. Earlier in training camp, the Bucs penciled Maurice Stovall as a starting wide receiver, but the oft-injured player has missed several practices and he won’t see the field this weekend either. His absences could be jeopardizing his chances of becoming a starting receiver.

Buccaneers still worth 1 billion


While the Bucs are perceived as being frugal team owners, the team is still worth over a billion dollars despite losing some of it’s valuation from the previous year. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the NFL’s 13th most valuable franchise, according to a recent survey by Forbes magazine, worth 1.032 billion.

Demoted by a text message


Tampa Bay Buccaneers S Sabby Piscitelli is mad. He lost his job to newly acquired S Sean Jones. Piscitelli doesn’t believe that the competition for the starting role was a competition at all, he believes that the starting job was simply handed to Jones the day he was signed. When asked about it, head coach Raheem Morris told reporters, “That’s unfortunate for him. If he felt that way, it’s probably why he didn’t get it. In general, you go out there and do your best in everything that you do. That’s Sabby’s problem at this point not mine”.

Bucs add a QB, make some depth chart moves


As I expected, after the loss of QB Josh Freeman to a fractured thumb this past weekend, the Bucs signed a quarterback. Not the quarterback I would have preferred, but they decided to re-sign the first quarterback they released off their roster, Jevon Snead. The undrafted free agent Ole’ Miss quarterback was given some terrible advice to leave college early, and has 2 weeks to prove to the Buccaneers that he deserves to be on an NFL roster. I doubt he will stick on the Bucs roster.

Did the Buccaneers pull another draft day blunder?


Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans are used to see the team pull some real boneheaded moves during draft days in the past, but I think they just might have missed out on a real talent which went undrafted this past season. The Bucs have made a point of rubilding the team in the past two seasons, and if you take a look at the horses in the running back stable for the Bucs, they are getting long in the tooth.

Swap one underachiever for another?


Could a possible trade be in the works between the Washington Redskins and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? Well, I thought the Bucs might be able to offload Michael Clayton to the Redskins who are in dire need of a receiver, but I never expected what I heard yesterday.
