MICHEAL SPURLOCK RUMORS

On special teams, look for Bucs to use Spurlock, Stroughter over Parker

Bucs coach Raheem Morris reaffirmed his faith in Preston Parker this week, even after the second-year receiver committed two costly fumbles on special teams at Jacksonville last week. But when I asked Morris whether the Bucs will use someone other than Parker to return kicks and punts tonight against the Cowboys (which is what I have been told), he didn't exactly say no. Yes...

Depth chart swap for Bucs' receivers Parker, Spurlock

The Bucs released their depth chart for the week, heading into Sunday's game against the Lions, and it features one interesting change. Receiver Preston Parker has replaced Micheal Spurlock as the top kick and punt returner, making Spurlock more likely to be among the team's inactive players on Sunday. No reason was given, but this is likely a result of the Bucs wanting to...

Bucs' Spurlock getting used to kickoff changes

Tampa Bay wide receiver Micheal Spurlock is entering his fifth season in the NFL, and he's learning on the fly this year, along with the rest of the league's top kick returners. The NFL made a couple of important changes this offseason for kickoffs, moving them up 5 yards to the 35-yard line and requiring players on the kickoff team to line up between the 30 and 35, precluding...

Spurlock's drop hurts Bucs in the end

Receiver Micheal Spurlock could have made excuses for, or tried to rationalize his dropped ball in the end zone with 6:10 remaining on Sunday. But he knew there was no mitigating the facts. “It’s a play that you have to make and I didn’t make it,” Spurlock said. “There’s nothing else to be said about it. It’s a play that I can make in my...

Bucs depth charts lists Williams, Stroughter as starting WRs, Spurlock as KR/PR

As expected, second-year pro Sammie Stroughter will start opposite Mike Williams as the Z receiver. Perhaps more interestingly, receiver Micheal Spurlock will serve as both the primary punt and kickoff returner in Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. Cornerback E.J. Biggers will start at left cornerback in place of Aqib Talib, who is serving a one-game suspension for violating...

Could Spurlock Be The Third-String QB?

Anwar Richardson poses the possibility of the Bucs keeping only two quarterbacks on the 53-man roster and using Micheal Spurlock as the emergency quarterback. If Tampa Bay elects to keep Josh Freeman and Josh Johnson on its active roster, while placing Rudy Carpenter on the practice squad, Spurlock could be the Bucs’ emergency quarterback on game day. Watching Carpenter’...

Training Camp Summary: August 12

Scout team defense was in the 3-4. Scout team offense played a lot of Wildcat, with Micheal Spurlock in at quarterback. Spurlock also got time in as a wide receiver in the standard offense against the scout defense. People have been trying to convince me that Terrence Nunn has a better shot than Spurlock, but Spurlock has been so active in camp and performed very well that I have...

Micheal Spurlock Interview

Here’s an interview with Micheal Spurlock from the Delta Democrat Times, the local paper to Spurlock’s high school. It’s not groundbreaking or anything, but it has a couple nice quotes. “It’s close to home,” said Spurlock, referring to the Tampa Bay Bucs. “I’ll tell anybody, they all pay. As long as you have a job, that’s a good...
