According to ProFootballTalk.com, Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Aquib Talib is playing great.

However, as good as Talib is he is worthless if he continues with his off field problems.

Since Talib has come into the National Football League he has been constantly in trouble.

If this continues he will eventually be subjected to the NFL’s Personal Conduct Policy.

That means the Buccaneers could lose Talib for a year.

In the end Talib netter get it together.

The Glazer family yesterday vehemently denied a report by WDAE’s Dan Sileo that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are for sale due to a $440 million loss in Berinie Madoff’s scam.

The question is now who is telling the truth and who is lying?

Sileo stated that his sources was a friend in the Security Exchange Commission.

The fact of the matter is that only a idiot would make up a lie involving the S.E.C.

Also, teams lie all the time when selling their team or trading a player as admitting so would cost the team as they would have less leverage, thus they would get less in return

WDAE has suspended Sileo pending an investigation.

In the end I do not doubt that Sileo will be proven right.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 0-4 this year as their defense is in the midst changing over schemes.

With the Buccanees being bad many will be wondering when will they put in rookie quarterback Josh Freeman.

Freeman was taken in the first round of this past April’s National Football League draft to be the future of the franchise.

There has been a growing trend of rookie quarterbacks starting right away.

However, Freeman is not one of those and the Buccaneers need to be careful not to subcome to urges.

In the end both Buccaneers coaches and fans need to be paitient, because rushing Freeman could mean disaster.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers benched quarterback Byron Leftwich in favor Josh Johnson.

The fact of the matter is that the change will not solve anything for the Buccaneers.

The problem with the Buccaneers is that new offensive coordinator Greg Olsen installed all new plays when he took over.

Its okay to make a change right before the season, but you have to use the plays that were already installed like the Buffalo Bills did.

In the end when the players get the new plays down the offense will then show progress.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers earlier this month fired offensive coordinator Jeff Jagodzinski for having to basic of an offense.

With Greg Olson taking over as offensive coordinator changes have already been made that will have the Buccaneers asking for trouble.

According to the St. Petersburgh Times, Olson has dramatically increased the number of plays in the Buccaneers offensive playbook.

That is one of the most dumbest things a team can do as there is not enough time to get all the new plays down.

They still could add plays to the offense throughout the year, but only like a couple at a time.

Also, the plays will feature new dramatic routes that will only lead to more interceptions as either the quarterback or the wide receiver will mess up and the pass will sail into a defender’s hands.

In the end the Buccaneers of old are back as another miserable season is upon them.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers promised that they would decide the starting quarterback before the third preseason game.

With the third preseason game already being played and still no starter has been decided the Buccaneers are in trouble.

According to the Tampa Tribune, head coach Raheem Morris stated that he will meet with his coaching staff, the team, and then finally the owner before announcing who the starter is going to be.

As the saying goes if you have to have a competition to decide your starter you have nothing.

However, what the situation says more importantly is that Morris is not a man of his words.

If this keeps happening then Morris will lose his team and then eventually his job as his players will not perform for him anymore.

In the end the Buccaneers better get their act together quick or it is going to be a long season for Buccaneer fans.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were hurting for another weapon to compliment wide receiver Antonia Bryant, which is why they traded for tight end Kellen Winslow Jr.

Just this past week the Buccaneers offense just got handed a wild card to them that has everyone paying attention.

The Tamp Tribune reports that while the Buccaneers were desperate for a wide receiver to help the load at training camp they came across wide receiver Mario Urrita.

The front office wasted no time jumping on him after the New York Jets released him this week as the front office was high on Urrita.

In practice on Friday Urrita blew the everyone even the coaching staff away as he took a simple slant pattern and made it into a 70 yard touchdown.

The thing is the Buccaneers secondary has some quality cornerbacks in Rhonde Barber and Aquib Talib.

The article doesn’t say who was covering Urrita at the time, but for him to take a slant and make it into a touchdown show that he has tremendous talent as the only wide receivers that do that in training camp are the elite wide receivers.

In the end if Urrita performs like this in the regular season the Buccaneers’ offense will be challenging to go up against.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the first time drafted a quarterback by taking Josh Freeman in the first round.  Simply, the Buccaneers would be fools to to start him.

Rookie quarterbacks can survive starting right away with a solid defense and running game.

However, with the Buccaneers firing head coach Jon Gruden and replacing him with Raheem Morris, who was Gruden’s defensive coordinator, that changes things.

The changing of the coaching staff means that they Buccaneers are in tranisition.

Each coach has his own playbook, which means that the first year entails the coaches determining which players fit the system and which do not.

For the players it means that it will take a whole year to get down the sytem.

Also, the Buccaneers have a brutal schedule in having to face the AFC East and NFC East divisions.

In the end the Buccaneers will most likely hold off starting Freeman, because of the schedule.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers fired head coach Jon Gruden earlier this offseason.  With the recent news that has come out today the Buccaneers were smart to let Gruden go.

According to Peter King of SI.com, Gruden and the NFL Network had a deal all done, but Gruden’s signiture.  Gruden was slated to be at NFL Films this week to start his job.

We agree with ProFootballTalk.com assesment that Gruden’s shopped the deal to ESPN and they immediately jumped on it, which is the real reason that Tony Kornhiser was out at ESPN.

The fact of the matter is Gruden is a selfish me guy and doesn’t care what anyone else thinks, but himself.

The problem is that you cannot have a my way or the highway approach to coaching.  Some players are going to be just as smart, or even smarter, than you and will notice something that you haven’t.

The thing is just that one little suggestion could be the difference between winning and losing.

Also, with players turning on Gruden, and not giving him their hardest, it was time for a change in Tampa Bay.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had $50 million in salary cap space, so when the team cut some long time veterans it took everyone by surprise.  The moves are starting to make the Buccaneers look like the Oakland Raiders.

The Buccaneers cut today linebackers Derrick Brooks and Cato June, receivers Joey Galloway and Ike Hilliard, and running back Warrick Dunn.

The moves saved the Buccaneers $12.45 million on top of their $50 million in salary cap space.

With space under the cap why make the moves?  Apparently, the reason is the new defensive coordinator Jim Bates is scrapping the cover two defense that they been using for such a long time.

The problem is that Brooks has been with the Buccaneers from day one.  Also, he also listened to former head coach Jon Gruden when he asked him to reduce the his amount of playing time to keep him fresher.
Simply, when you have salary cap space you just do not cut players, especially when one of them has been a long time loyal team player.  On top of that they just missed the playoffs last year, so they should be adding, and not subtracting.

Also, the team blocked quarterback coach Greg Olson for interviewing for the offensive coordinator job in Arizona.

It would be one thing if the Buccaneers blocked him from taking a similar job on another team.  However, Olson was interviewing for a job that would of been a promotion.

In the end the Glazer family simply do not know how to run a football franchise. and now take the title of worst franchise in the National Football League.  The reason being that Raider owner Al Davis at least understands what loyalty means.
