Bucs safety Sabby Piscitelli spoke to the Oregonian this week about how happy he was to get his first NFL start.

Bucs safety Sabby Piscitelli spoke to the Oregonian (Oregon’s largest newspaper) about his experiences playing for the Bucs and about how giddy he was to log his first NFL start against the Chiefs  Sunday.

“We might have one of the best defensive coordinators of all time in Monty Kiffin and having great defenses is definitely something they expect year in and year out,” he said. “Guys like (Derrick) Brooks, (Warren) Sapp, (John) Lynch and (Ronde) Barber established that attitude. You have to hit and be physical and be fast. This team is always expecting a great defense.”

Joe thinks Sabby is one of the reasons the Bucs not only have one of the top defenses in the league but possibly one of the best in team history, which is saying a lot. And Sabby is becoming one of Joe’s favorite Bucs. He hits and he is a ballhawk. What’s not to like?
