A look at Tuesday afternoon's practice

Another round of training camp looks.  This time we take a look at Tuesday afternoon's practice and a look ahead to Saturday's game against the Tennessee Titans.

Star-divide

- Starting with injurie.  A few more than this morning, but nothing serious.  Geno Hayes, Clifton Smith, and Matt Bryant are the additions to the list.  Ronde Barber and Kellen Winslow sat out also, but not with any noted injuries.  Might be resting Ronde and making sure K2 stays healthy.

- Pads were off this afternoon, a much needed break in the heat.  Clayton and Trueblood were on the field, though Clayton was running off to the side.  Doesn't sound like he'll push it by playing on Saturday.

- Not a good afternoon for the QB's.  Though the team was going at about half speed, Leftwich looked off most the afternoon, and Freeman had a pass picked by E.J. Biggers.  (Editor's Note:  I was not too thrilled with drafting Freeman, but I gotta say, after writing all these articles on him and realizing what we have invested in him, it's hard not to root for him to succeed).

- Cadillac lined up as a kick returner.  He probably has to factor into special teams to stay on the roster, and if he's healthy, this may not be a bad thing.  He was pretty good on special teams at Auburn, maybe he can contribute in the NFL in the backfield and return teams.

- Josh Johnson did throw a TD to Maurice Stovall to close out practice.  Not saying it happens, but what if JJ outplays Freeman?  You keep 4 QB's (I hope not)?  You just flat out cut him?  Good be a tough call, if that happens.

Wednesday has one practice scheduled, from 2:30 to 4:20 PM at One Buc Place.  Buc 'Em will keep you updated.

Maybe Dominik and Morris

should have done a more thorough evaluation of JJ before drafting Freeman. To me they were desperate to put their stamp on the team and Morris had a previous relationship with Freeman. I am cheering for him to succeed, because if he does the Bucs succeed….I just don’t see it happening.

Unfortunately....

The situation that this new GM and head coach has put the team in is the worse case senario is that all 4 of the QBs, since they are unable to seperate themselves, all could suck when it comes to big games and what kind of position does that leave the Bucs in for the next few years.

if JJ looks good

We’d keep him, maybe list him as a different position maybe a WR or DB, Maybe teach he a few routs, and have him line up, catch the pass and maybe hit someone else down field? Maybe wildcat? If he looks good keep him, at one point didn’t we have 5 or 6 QB’s? If he looks good why let me go??
