		<description><![CDATA[The Bucs have had an interesting off season so far and we all can argue about most of what they&#8217;ve done, but the Brooks thing is still killing me. I know it&#8217;s the fan in me feeling it, but I still can&#8217;t find a legitimate reason for what they did there. I could understand salary cap issues or something like that, but they are far from having cap issues. I love the addition of Derrick Ward and Kellen Winslow. I like that they moved on from Jeff Garcia. I&#8217;ll break it down to what I think is positive and negative. Positive moves: Signing Derrick Ward. Ward is an animal and should combine with Earnest Graham to make a devastating backfield similar to what he was a part of with the Giants. Trading for Kellen Winslow. Say what you want about this guy, he can flat out play. He may have caused some problems and may be injury prone, but I feel this is one of those guys that a change of scenery and atmosphere may help more than anyone realizes. Firing Gruden and Allen. I&#8217;ve already spoke my piece about this so I won&#8217;t delve into it again. Good riddence. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve got a lot on my mind right now within the sports world and in trying to kick off the new year with more posts I just wanted to comment on a few things I thought about over the weekend. The playoff games I watched this weekend were pretty good for the most part. The Ravens showed everyone who the real Chad Pennington was and Ed Reed proved that he is the sickest defensive ballhawk we&#8217;ve seen since Deion Sanders and you could even make an argument that he might be better.   Tony Dungy may have coached his last game with the Colts and I would find it pretty sad if it was his last game ever coached. I do get the feeling that he wants a little time away from the game and if anyone deserves it, it&#8217;s Tony Dungy. I would like to think though that Tony would jump back into the coaching ranks after a few years of sitting home with the family. He&#8217;s only 53 and he would still be fairly young by coaching standards if he jumped back in five years from now. I hope it&#8217;s not over for Tony Dungy.   The Patriots are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, it was as ugly as it could possibly be. Not only did they drop the final four games of the season and miss the playoffs, but they did it in old school orange Buccaneer fashion. I think we all took the Carolina loss fairly well, it was on the road against a tough team and the Bucs were banged up. The Atlanta game was tough to swallow, but it was another tough road game and we could all understand it a little. The San Diego game was an absolute disaster and no one wanted to believe that it actually happened. It all could have been salvaged though with a win against an awful Oakland team and a Cowboy loss. The Cowboys did their part by taking an absolutely laughable beating at the hands of the Eagles, but it was too little too late. The Bucs had already lost to the second most dysfunctional team in the NFL, and it wasn&#8217;t as close as the 31-24 score would lead one to believe. This monumental collapse has left me wondering, who do we blame for this? Let&#8217;s try to figure it out. The offense? Jon Gruden&#8217;s offense has never really taken [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The list continues to grow for Buccaneers players in the rehab center. Jon Gruden came out and talked about it today.  They now have at least 10 players I could count on the weekly injury list.. Michael Clayton Brian Griese Jeff Garcia Jovan Haye Chris Hovan Greg White (oops, I mean Stylez G. White) Sean Mahan Jeremy Zuttah Joey Galloway (not officially listed but Gruden says he&#8217;s injured). Then we have the injured reserve guys&#8230; Earnest Graham Torrie Cox Byron Storer Cortez Hankton Maurice Stovall Geno Hayes Jermaine Phillips (assumed) Not sure if I missed anyone, but that is a lot of injuries. Here&#8217;s why we shouldn&#8217;t feel bad for the Bucs though. They have built themselves to be deep, not star heavy. That&#8217;s a great way to build to try to remain competitive when injuries pile up (sound familiar) but doesn&#8217;t lend to having a dominant team. That&#8217;s why, when healthy this team doesn&#8217;t light up the scoreboard or rout too many teams, but that&#8217;s also why we&#8217;re in a position to make the playoffs with so many injuries. It&#8217;s tough to deal with and handle. I want a deep team, but I long for some hardcore play makers [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s wrap up the goings on with the Bucs this week, and we don&#8217;t need to talk about the Carolina fiasco anymore than we already have. Adrian Peterson has accused one of the Bucs players of trying to take him out. I can&#8217;t go back and watch the game to figure out who it was but Peterson does not strike me as a liar and he&#8217;s definitely not a wuss, so I&#8217;m going to believe him. That being said I&#8217;m not going to try to rip anyone on the Bucs either. If someone actually tried to take him out than, whoever it is, needs to check themselves. Football is a tough sport for tough men and there should be no room for guys like this in a sport like this. The game is tough enough without having to worry about cheap shots and dirty plays. There&#8217;s guys on every team from the NFL to High School Football who pull this crap and they should be taken care of by their own teammates any time it happens. I hope it wasn&#8217;t what Peterson thinks because I would hate to see him get hurt, I love watching him play and I want [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[   The Bucs took their unbeaten home streak to six with a 23-20 victory against the Saints on Sunday but there&#8217;s still some uncertainty revolving around the team. It was a great showing of the defense, again, against the league&#8217;s best offense that featured some great play from the secondary. Ronde Barber apparently took the early season criticism personally that his game was falling off and has been on a mission to prove himself since. Barber didn&#8217;t get a pick this week but he tipped one into Cato June&#8217;s hands and still shows the ball skills that have made him one of the NFL&#8217;s best since he arrived. Teams continue to throw in his direction because the secondary is so good, not because he&#8217;s bad. With Buchanon, Phillips, Talib, Barber, Jackson and Piscitelli back there to combine for, in my opinion, the NFL&#8217;s best secondary, there&#8217;s not a whole lot of options for opposing offenses. They picked off Drew Brees 3 times Sunday and held the Saints to 20 points despite allowing 332 net yards. I was most impressed with the run play though, holding Thomas, McAllister and Bush to 37 yards total. The questions that still linger revolve around the offense (see [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[   In not so surprising news today the Bucs placed RB Earnest Graham and LB Geno Hayes on injured reserve and they will be gone for the rest of the season. Graham hurt his ankle in the first quarter of the Viking game and coach Jon Gruden immediately speculated that he was gone for the year. Coach was right for once and Graham&#8217;s done. Hayes also left the game Sunday with a knee injury and has been lost for the season. Hayes&#8217; injury isn&#8217;t a big blow but Graham&#8217;s absence will be huge. This puts a lot more pressure on the aging Warrick Dunn and rookie Clifton Smith. The Bucs added free agent RB Noah Herron and brought back LB Matt McCoy to fill Graham and Hayes&#8217; spots on the roster. McCoy played in a few games earlier in the year when Barrett Ruud went down and did an adequate job. Herron hasn&#8217;t played since 2006 and will likely fill the emergency back role once occupied by Micheal Bennett (think the Bucs miss him now?). There is also speculation now that Edgerrin James has asked for his release and, in a round about way, is interested in the Bucs. Buc &#8216;Em shot this article up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[   I had to work Sunday so I didn&#8217;t get to look at the whole game until last night. Man did the Bucs look good this week though. The Bucs couldn&#8217;t get a good running game going after Earnest Graham went down with an ankle injury after one carry, and apparently this injury may end his season. Jeff Garcia stepped up in a big way going 23 of 30 with 255 yards, 84 of which went to the hated Jerramy Stevens. It was a nice showing for Garcia, but the Bucs defense again proved itself one of the best. The Bucs defense, as good as they&#8217;ve been over the years, have always had problems with bigger running backs and Adrian Peterson is as imposing as it gets. The Bucs held Peterson to 85 yards on the ground with no touchdowns. The Bucs have now faced seven of the top ten running backs without giving up a touchdown. Derrick Brooks really looks reborn this year, especially in his play on Sunday. That play in the fourth quarter in pass coverage with Peterson got everyone fired up! The Bucs are still struggling to score in the red zone and that needs to change [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[   The Bucs have finished the first half of their season 5-3 with a 4-0 home record and there are still a ton of questions hovering over them. The first half was riddled with typical Gruden drama, questionable play calling and player personnel decisions along with the typical &#8220;D&#8221; we&#8217;ve gotten so used to seeing. Some of the good things we&#8217;ve seen so far include&#8230; Earnest Graham is the workhorse RB we saw last season and looks like he&#8217;s improving on every aspect of his game. He was always a good blocker so that&#8217;s just the norm there, but his improvement on catching the ball out of the backfield and his field vision have made him my leading candidate for offensive MVP on this team. Antonio Bryant has stepped up and done more than anyone could&#8217;ve expected in Joey Galloway&#8217;s absence. We&#8217;ve had reclamation projects at this position before who we&#8217;ve been told would make big impacts (remember David Boston?) but this one looks to be the real deal. The defense in still headed by Monte Kiffin, why expect less? The entire defense has showed they&#8217;re still one of the top units out there. D-Brooks looks 25 again, Barrett Ruud is playing [...]]]></description>
