If Joe had a Webcam, you’d see him shaking his head in disgust.

TBO.com is reporting that Bucs starting defensive tackle Ryan Sims had cramps Friday before practice and was held out of the day’s session. Last Joe checked, cramps typically come late in a workout.

What kind of game shape is Sims in if he cramped up putting on his socks?

Sims having a successful season was a longshot to begin with. Now after what looked like a good preseason, he’s all cramped up.

Joe wonders whether these cramps are related to stress. Perhaps Sims is freaking out wondering whether he can prove to the NFL that he’s not a bust after all.
