Ernest Graham – One of the feel good stories of the year, Ernest Graham took over the starting RB duties after the injuries to Caddilac Williams and Michael Pittman. He has 222 carries for 898 yards in essentially 12 weeks of work. He is 2nd in the NFC with 10 Td’s despite his limited time. He set a Buccaneers record with a TD in six straight weeks of play. Graham has shown a nice penchant for running through arm tackles. He has only fumbled the ball 1 time all season, and it was in week 1, [...]

Jeff Garcia – After multiple seasons of Head Coach Jon Gruden pursuing Jeff Garcia, we can see why he was so enamored with him. Garcia is 6th in the league with a 94.6 rating, behind 5 guys who are headed to the Pro Bowl. He has been heady, and efficient all year long, which is exactly what Gruden is looking for. Besides the Jacksonville Jaguars game in Week 8, Garcia has not cost us one game. He has 6 games with over a 100 Qb rating. Jeff missed a few games (weeks 12-14) after taking [...]

Wednesday 1/2 – Defensive Backs
Thursday 1/3 – Special Teams
Friday 1/4 – Coaching

With the Bucs clinching the division last Sunday with a convincing win against the Falcons, the focus (for me) now shifts to whom we might play as the NFC begins to shape itself out.

The number one and two seeds are wrapped up with Dallas and Green Bay. The Packers have to finish a game up on the Cowboys due to the Cowboys midseason win over Green Bay.

Dallas has remaining away games against Carolina this week, and Washington next week. Both seem like winnable games, especially considering that Dallas is 6-0 on the road currently, and the [...]

Key Matchup

Head Coach Jon Gruden vs Head Coach Emmitt Thomas

Jon Gruden has 3 division championships, 1 NFC Championship, and 1 Super Bowl win under his belt. Mr. Thomas…zero. This season for the Falcons has to rank up there as one of the worst, emotionally for any team in the last 20 years. First Vick, then this Petrino thing. There could be one rallying factor for the Falcons though, as they all seemed to truly hate [...]
