<p align="left">Dunn was an unfortunate casualty of the McKay regime.  When Gruden first arrived in Tampa, we were unable to retain the unrestricted free agent due to our cap having been &#8220;McKayed.&#8221;  <strong>Bruce Allen</strong>, as we all know though, has handled the cap to perfection to the point where we are able to go after players like Dunn who fit the scheme and should produce.</p>

<p align="left">I am uncertain at this point as to how our RB situation is going to shake out.  <strong>Ernest Graham</strong>, <strong>BJ Askew</strong> and <strong>Dunn </strong>would seemingly be locks to make the squad, with a &#8220;battle&#8221; for the last spot between <strong>Cadillac</strong> and <strong>Michael Bennet</strong>.  That battle though will most likely be determined by the health of <strong>Cadillac Williams</strong>.  Two weeks ago, RB seemed like a position we would target in the draft, but at this juncture, I do not see any 1st day picks being spent there.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>The <font color="#ff0000">Buccaneers </font>acquired running back <font color="#ff0000">Michael Bennett</font> today from the Kansas City Chiefs for an undisclosed second day draft pick. We will attempt to breakdown the ramifications of this deal.</div>
<div>&#8230;</div>
<div>On <font color="#ff0000">Ernest Graham</font> &#8211; I still believe that Graham will garner the majority of the carries for the Bucs, barring injury.  He has been in this system for 4 years now, and I would have to think that <font color="#ff0000">Gruden</font> will continue to keep his trust, albeit marginal at best, in <font color="#ff0000">Ernest Graham</font>.</div>
<div>&#8230;</div>
<div>On the Offensive Line &#8211; I do believe that <font color="#ff0000">Bennett </font>will be brought into the game to try and stretch the field on some pitches, counters, and sweeps, something that has been eliminated in the two weeks since <font color="#ff0000">Caddy</font> was injured.  The young guards both have a very high skill level at pulling on running plays, and this could open that part of the offense back up. </div>
<div>&#8230;</div>
<div>On <font color="#ff0000">Jeff Garcia</font> &#8211; I do not believe things will change much in Garcia&#8217;s book.  He might have to get his timing right on some of those aforementioned sweeps and outside runs, as <font color="#ff0000">Bennett </font>has blazing speed that <font color="#ff0000">Garcia </font>has truly never played with at the Canadian League or NFL level at the tailback position.</div>
<div>&#8230;.</div>
<div>On the Staff - Just as I said when <font color="#ff0000">Caddy</font> got hurt, and in the Oline spot above, the playbook should open up a wee bit more with Bennett in the mix.  I also think that Gruden won&#8217;t be so aprehensive to use <font color="#ff0000">Graham</font> in situations where he otherwise might have pulled him out of the game to avoid injury (namely special teams where is a standout, and on the goal line).</div>
<div>&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.</div>
<div>Overall Impact &#8211; I think the impact of <font color="#ff0000">Bennett </font>on the team will be marginal at best.  He has had success in the NFL, mainly his Pro Bowl season of 2002, interestingly enough, his only season of 200+ carries.  The only other thing to worry abou, gulp, is he is an injury prone player, who has shown over the past 5 years that he does not have the ability to stay healthy enough to be the primary ball carrier.     </div>
