The Bucs leading rusher against Jacksonville was fullback B.J. Askew. Yes, B.J. Askew, the same guy who Chucky didn’t give a carry until he played in 17 games.

Raheem The Dream said his plans for Askew always have been for the former Pro Bowl fullback to evolve into a key ball carrier. Though it’s doubtful The Dream ever imagined he’d one day give Askew 14 carries for 52 yards — Askew’s numbers Saturday — even in a preseason game.

“I told B. J. a long time ago. … I know about your Michigan days. I know what you can do,” Raheem The Dream said. “I talked to him about possible being a short yardage back. …He accepts that role and wants to do it. …He looks like a big, heavy man that’s hard to tackle. That’s impressive.”

Joe agrees with Raheem The Dream. Askew is a load, with good hands, too. The Bucs should use him a lot more than Chucky did.
