Raheem the Dream is getting piled on since he decided to fire his offensive coordinator just nine days before the 2009 season kicks off. And the potshots aren’t without merit.

But Joe, the objective journalist at heart, decided to send Raheem The Dream some love this morning, via Bucs legend Warren Sapp.

In a recent NFL.com chat before Raheem the Dream ousted Jagodzinski, Sapp raved about Raheem The Dream.

how do you think raheem morris and the bucs are going to do this year playoffs?

Warren Sapp, NFL Network
I was there the day he walked in, and I’m behind him 100 percent. I think he’ll be a really good coach. He’s the real deal. Playoffs will be tough. I’m saying they’re around a .500 club. The QBs will be an issue, plus a new defense.

Who is Joe to argue with Sapp about defense? But Joe is of the belief that it will be offense, not defense, that will be the Bucs’ downfall this year. Oh, that and that brutal schedule.
