Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


Dre Moore, Clifton Smith, Micheal Spurlock amoung Practice Squad signees

The regular eight-man practice squad includes six players who were with the Buccaneers throughout this summer's training camp: wide receiver Brian Clark, tight end Daniel Fells, cornerback Marcus Hamilton, defensive tackle Dre Moore, running back Clifton Smith and wide receiver Micheal Spurlock. The other two spots went to cornerback Brandon Sumrall, a rookie just cut by the Minnesota Vikings, and offensive lineman Julius Wilson, most recently of the St. Louis Rams.

I am just estatic that the Bucs will be able to continue to develope Dre Moore as it would have been disappointing for him to sign elsewhere. Clifton Smith made a huge splash this preseason and I know many are happy to see him sign. How can we forget Micheal Spurlock? Include both Clark and Hamilton and this makes for a great looking practice squad and one that most should be familiar with the players who are on it. Of course as the season progresses, this group will surely change but for now I am happy with the group that we have.

Saints fan here with a question

How has Dre Moore looked this preseason? He was one I had hoped the Saints would get after using their first rounder to pick up Kenny Phillips. Didn’t work out that way, but I still wonder if he will be as good as some predicted.

My man

Dre Moore has been an absolute disappointment. He waited to produce until the last Pre-Season game against the Texans 4th stringers. He was very lucky the Bucs extended him a Practice Squad invite (that he acceoted).

The word on him is that he was very lethargic early in his career at Maryland and when he finally got it, he really caused havoc on the field. We can only hope that is the case with the Buccaneers…

But yeah Dre Moore is barely on the Bucs radar.. He came into Training Camp out of shape and is currently out of shape….. People complain about DJax being drafted in the 2nd round, but the Bucs traded up to get Moore…

Yeah, I heard he was an underachiever

…but he was also reputed to have a tremendous upside. I figured Ed Orgeron would be the perfect coach to motivate him. Sad that some guys seem not to care—I’d give almost anything to have the ability to play in the NFL, and these guys just blow it off.

Good luck on Sunday.
