Defensive lineman Kevin Carter just might play some tight end for the Bucs this season.

Chucky likes to be a little different at times. Oh, that Chucky.

In 2002, the glorious season in which the Bucs won the Super Bowl, Chucky liked to use Warren Sapp as a blocking tight end, once even throwing the ball to the former Miami Hurricanes tight end (later turned defensive tackle) Sapp for a touchdown.
This year that blocking tight end in goal line formations could be Kevin Carter. PewterReport.com tells the story of how Carter made his NFL tight end debut in training camp and is hoping he logs some playing time this season with the offense.

“I’m trying, begging and pleading, but whether or not Coach Gruden will call my number, we’ll have to see,” said Carter.

Joe likes the concept of a bruising defensive lineman coming in on occasion to throw a linebacker on his back. Despite the defensive lineman already wearing down playing on the defensive side of the ball, the off chance he gets to play offense usually kicks in the juices and he is likely to deliver a bigger hitthan a standard tight end throwing another – in his eyes – mundane block.
