Not that anyone has to be told this, especially Football Fans, but you may want to pay close attention to the Super Bowl on Sunday if you're a Bucs Fan. Not because the Patriots could go UNDEFEATED, not because the team who beat the Bucs in the first Round of the Playoffs could turn out to be Super Bowl Champions, and certainly not because of the ridiculous commercials that will run throughout the telecast. No, you should watch in order to keep a close eye on the one Wide Receiver the Bucs truly have a chance of signing this off-season: Randy Moss Read the rest of this story »

With the new Coaching Staff finally in place in Atlanta, there's increased chatter that former Bucs RB Warrick Dunn might get cut, as the new Coaching Staff wants to implement a Power Running game (Because that worked so well with T.J. Duckett). Warrick was asked about the possibility of being cut and what his options would look like: Read the rest of this story »

Earnest Graham: Graham is under contract for 2008 but is already in talks for an extension and a raise via his remora, Drew Rosenhaus. The Bucs seem open to it, so it should be a pretty solid bet that Graham will go to camp as the starting running back.

Carnell Williams: Williams suffered one of the worst kinds of injuries that a running back can have, and his recovery is said to be very slow. the team will makes moves around him knowing that he won't be available and he'll most likely spend the entire year on injured reserve.

With a talented group of running backs to their name, the Bucs have 4 strong runners who combine for big yards and needed touchdowns. Although two of them are free agents, and one may never play again, these runners are all very talented and underrated. Let’s break down the 2007 Buccaneers running backs:

Falcons running back Warrick Dunn sounds like he isn't sure he'll be in Atlanta next season. If not, returning to Tampa wouldn't be so bad, he says.

In this story in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Dunn acknowledges the possibility that he could be cut considering the new coaching staff's desire to establish a power running game. Dunn wouldn't seem to fit into that plan given his small stature and shifty running style.

Warrick Dunn knows his time is probably up in Atlanta. Mike Mularkey likes power and a 33-year old Warrick Dunn is not the first image that comes to mind when you think of "power". The AJC asked him about possible destinations.

Last week (or maybe the week before... I don't re-read old posts. Hell, I don't even spell check the current ones,) I posted something about Chad Johnson probably staying in Cincinnati and Larry Fitzgerald being more likely target for a big Buccaneer wide receiver deal. Now it's looking a little different. Fitzgerald is stating openly that he wants to stay with the Cardinals, which is the first step to him actually doing it. Of course, his current contract is prohibitavely expensive, so he would have to work something out to lower that cap value. How expensive? According to PFT (who, for some reason, removed their permalinks again):

A position that the Bucs have arguably had trouble with in the past, this years receiving corps looked better than ever. However, they just couldn’t stay healthy. Jeff Garcia had plenty of weapons, but with everyone getting injured, he was limited. Let’s break down the 2007 Bucs Wide Receivers:

Yesterday on 620 WDAE, Steve Duemig announced that Mike Alstott had been offered a coaching position with the Buccaneers, but declined it. This story hasn't been verified anywhere else, so who knows how true it is. On one hand, Duemig and Alstott are friends, so Duemig would likely be privy to some exclusive Alstott information. On the other hand, Steve Duemig is an egotistical twat with an ax to grind. Although, to be fair, he did say that after speaking with Alstott specifically about Jon Gruden, his opinion of Gruden improved. Maybe that means he'll only spend one hour a day trying to get him fired now? In any case, it looks less likely that Alstott will be the new running backs coach, which I still think is a good thing. I read that Earnest Byner is going to interview for that position. Byner has been the running backs coach for the Redskins since 2004 and has Clinton Portis to show for it. Not too shabby. Let's just hope Byner doesn't fumble his notebook on the way to the conference room.
