The Bucs offensive line got the first piece of good news in awhile on Tuesday. That news was that Arron Sears would be returning to the team. A key component to our young line, Sears was going to be counted on heavily in 2009. But he disappeared from the team in a story that still hasn't completely unfolded. The Bucs OL turned to Zuttah to fill the gap, who has done an admirable job, but the line as...

Bucs center Jeff Faine had a few curious comments yesterday while speaking with WQYK-AM 1010’s J.P. Peterson. Faine talked about what great people both Josh Freeman and Sammie Stroughter are, and then remarked about the personalities of the current crop of Bucs rookies. “I have to hand it to [Bucs general manager] Mark Dominik,” Faine said. “The character [...]

It's that time friends, for another edition of Slowing it Down. This week we are back to analyzing an offensive play. This week we look at a play in which the Bucs are lined up in Shotgun. They have 3 WR, with the strength to the wide side of the field (K2 and two WR). It looks like Stovall, though I can't see the white numbers is line up at the bottom of the screen. DWard in the backfield. The Packers...

The creamsicle uniforms may not be one and done after Sunday’s game against the Packers. Per Jeff Faine, he and his teammates have been ordered to leave their uniforms in the locker room after the game so they can be laundered and re-used. “Since it is a one time thing we were going to bring them home, but they [...]

Somewhere Jeff Faine is smiling. And right now the Bucs center might be a very popular guy amid the Bucs locker room. A haberdasher by trade off the field, Faine must be giving out a lot of advice thanks to Raheem the Dream’s new edict. Raheem the Dream is putting his foot down. No, it appears players [...]

So there’s Josh Freeman in the huddle at practice with his teammates hanging on his every word as he calls a play. And there’s Jeff Faine barking at the rookie, “Speak up!” This was one glimpse Faine gave into the maturation process of Freeman, during an interview on 1010 AM on Friday. Faine tossed aside the politically correct ramblings that flow [...]

Sean Mayhem, the walking turnstile center whose pay the Bucs cut in the offseason who then was released and then later re-signed to rave reviews from Raheem The Dream, was released again today. So here the Bucs are with a starting center, Jeff Faine, who’s on the record saying his healing tricep won’t be 100 percent this year, and they’ve [...]

Many Bucs fans wonder how, or if, soft-spoken Josh Freeman is developing at all on the sidelines, and after limited preseason reps. Bucs center Jeff Faine, speaking on Total Access last night on 620 WDAE-AM, gave a progress report on Freeman when talking about watching the growing pains of the Bucs young players. “They’re earning their stripes [...]

Is Chucky still present at One Buc Place? It would appear that by Jeff Faine's comments that the spirit of Gruden is still around, at least in the offensive playbook. The OC has installed some of Gruden's plays, and variations thereof. I've been half kidding for a few weeks saying we were still run by Gruden based on some of the play calls, lack of run plays etc. Turns out I wasn't too far off.

Joe loves good interviews — players who aren’t afraid to call it as they see it most of the time and usually bring a very fresh perspective. On the Bucs, per Joe’s scorecard, the best interview spots go to Antonio Bryant and Jeff Faine. Bryant is unpredictable and passionate, while Faine is candid and extremely well spoken. Tonight on 620 WDAE-AM, Faine will grab [...]

His time has come? View full size photo uploaded October 19, 2009 Make no mistake about the intent of this article. Josh Johnson did nothing to lose the game to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. Johnson does not play DT to stop the running plays on the final drive. Johnson does not play kicker, to take a ball snapped terribly, but still managed to get down and in place, and kick it short on an attempt...

The inactives list has been released by the Bucs and Jeff Faine nor Antonio Bryant are on the list. Instead, with the exception of defensive end Kyle Moore and backup quarterback Byron Leftwich, the Bucs have a bunch of nobodies on the inactive list. That is, except for that future All-Pro wide receiver Yamon Figurs who [...]
