TEAMS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Washington Redskins, Seattle Seahawks
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will host the Washington Redskins this evening in their final preseason game of the year. A familiar face to Buccaneers fans will be on the sidelines this evening, but he’ll be on the visiting sideline, Raheem Morris. Morris was fired by the Buccaneers after a complete collapse of the club in the 2011 season but quickly joined the Washington Redskins and has become the club’s secondary coach.
Morris started his coaching career with the Buccaneers and filled a similar role for Tampa. In 2009, Morris promoted to defensive coordinator after Monte Kiffin announced he would be leaving to join his son’s coaching staff in Tennessee. Morris was then quickly named the Buccaneers head coach after Jon Gruden was unexpectedly released by the club.
Morris had a rocky rookie year, posting a 3-13 record but rebounded with one of the youngest rosters in the league in 2010 after a 10-6 campaign. The youth movement in Tampa appeared to be gelling under Morris. The Buccaneers ...

Bucs shuffle offensive line after losing Joseph
In the blink of an eye, arguably the best line the Tampa Bay Bucs ever assembled on offense became a broken line late last week.
Now, with the regular season only two weeks away, the Bucs have to find a way to carry on without Pro Bowl right guard and offensive line leader Davin Joseph.
But thats life in the NFL. Joseph was lost for the season Friday night on a routine play away...

Can Buccaneers fans finally hold their heads high?
The last few years we have seen the good, bad, and ugly from Josh Freeman. For the Buccaneers to be successful Josh Freeman must cut down on his mistakes. His 22 interceptions last season was unacceptable and must be lowered. LeGarrette Blount will be back and will be asked to carry the load at running back. He has been injury prone and that continues to plaque him it seems. Rookie...

Buccaneers place Davin Joseph on IR
The Buccaneers were dealt bad news when they found out that right guard Davin Joseph tore his patellar tendon and would need to be placed on season ending IR. Joseph signed a 7 year, 52.5 million dollar deal last offseason and the Buccaneers were counting on him to be a crucial part of their new conservative, run heavy, smash mouth offense. However, despite his large salary, Joseph...

Josh Freeman continues to struggle
Quarterback Josh Freeman got off to a slow start in the Bucs’ first two preseason games, and he wasn’t any better Friday night against the Patriots. Continuing to look uncomfortable in new coördinator Mike Sullivan’s offense, Freeman completed 10-of-19 passes for 102 yards. He has leaned heavily on $55 million wideout Vincent Jackson throughout August, but otherwise relied [...]
