Rick Stroud of the St Petersburg Times is reporting that Jeff Garcia injured his leg and was carted off the field.  Apparently the injury occured during a non contact drill.  I can’t find any more information than this, and when I do, I will put it up. 
 

Lee Roy Selmon visited the Bucs Wednesday morning practice session

“It brought back a lot of fond memories,” said Selmon. “They were excited about it. It just kind of loosened some things up. Coach Gruden and coach Kiffin said ‘hey we have to do the Oklahoma drill.’ So it was fun just to watch them. They hooped it up and had a good time I thought.”

Speaking of the Oklahoma drill, DE Kevin Carter was the only player to make a tackle, drawing a big reaction from his defensive breathren.

“That’s kind of been our history around here, to jazz it up when [...]

(On the mental makeup of Jeff Garcia in regards to the constant rumors about Brett Favre)
“You know what, I don’t know what we’re talking about,” Gruden said. “I’m so tired of it, really. He’s one of the most mentally-tough human beings I’ve been around. If you know Jeff Garcia, you know what I’m talking about.  I really don’t think this is worth talking about, personally. He’s doing a great job as he always does.  He’s one of the most mentally-tough guys I’ve ever met and I’ll leave it at that.”

“I’m really impressed. Granted, [...]

On why the Bucs are always linked to free agent QB’s…
“Jon Gruden hasn’t given you an answer yet?,” Garcia said. “He loves quarterbacks, but he likes to just date. He doesn’t like to marry.”

Funny story about Tanard Jackson.   Apparently, after celebrating a pass breakup near the sidelines, Jackson ran off the field with his arms raised and ran toward his next drill.  While continuing to run with his hands up, he fell and landed on his ass!  Take a peek at it, pretty funny stuff…since TJax is ok!

“It was cool for a minute,” Jackson laughed later that afternoon. “The runaway was cool…until I slipped! I tried to play it off as best I could.”

Rookie Aqib Talib intercepted two passes during practice today.  While that is a positive sign, the praise Ronde Barber subsequently heaped [...]

Phillip Buchanon apparently looked real sharp in one on one drills. 

“I’m going to compete. I’m going to do what I’ve got to do to make myself better, because I want to be one of the best. In order to be one of the best, you’ve got to go out there and challenge yourself to be the best every day.”

Luke McCown took the first QB snaps of the day with whiny boy Garcia gone.  Griese was the next player to get reps at QB. 

“Chris and Josh are going to have an opportunity the next few days to take some snaps, get [...]

 
By the way…GoogleDocs, awesome! I thought I would have a hard time narrowing this list down to 53 guys. It was exactly the opposite. I originally had 52 men, so I even had to go back and give someone else a roster spot. The 53rd man was Geno Hayes. Tell me what you think.
***Because of some confusion in one of the comments of this post I wanted to clear things up, which I should have done when I originally posted this.  There is a column that is labeled 53.  If there is a Y, they make the team, a N, [...]

First round pick Aqib Talib, signed a contract that will allow him to arrive on time for tommorow’s opening day of training camp.  Although to some people, this might have seemed drawn out, the Bucs have a history of signing their first round picks at the last second before free agency starts.  The key part though, is that Talib will have a chance to compete for a starting spot, with a full allotment of camp in front of him.  

It isn’t like I haven’t been paying attention to the rumors about Brett Favre lately.  It isn’t as though I don’t care either way.  My main issue with talking about this scenario is, I’m so adamant that one particular course of action is the correct one, that I have been trying to avoid hyping up something that I still see as a remote chance of happening.  All the rumors about our interest in Favre culminated in yesterday’s Chris Simms quote about Favre:  “He asked me questions about Brett Favre,” Simms said. “He asked if I felt Brett would be able [...]
