* Geno Hayes drives Pat White out of bounds on the end around. Dude is all over the place today.

* Damn, Stovall was smothered by tacklers on a short second down pass.

* Nice job by Freeman to escape a sack but two yards on third job isn’t getting the job done.

* Another missed tackle by Sabby! Dammit, Jim Bates, get his ass out of there!!! When people claim the Bucs don’t need Eric Berry, I suggest they watch this game tape. Damned near every series he f’s up something.

* Well, whaddya know, Sabby got beat on the very next play by Ted Ginn, which was ruled incomplete. (Make up call?)

* Dolphins defense is really cracking down.

* Sammie Stroughter continues to impress Joe. The guy just makes plays. What an absolute steal in the seventh round.

* Com’on rook, don’t throw passes into a crowd.

* Kellen Winslow with a monster play in his return to Mi-yami.

* Winslow is getting the job done.

* Wow, Freeman tried to thread the needle there to get the ball to Winslow. Joe doesn’t it was interference though Winslow did.

* Holy, moly. A third field goal over 50 yards, this time for 54. Man. But the sad thing is, thanks to the zebras, field goals won’t get the job done today.

* Three series of commericals the FCC needs to ban: Anything fromGeico, anything from Progressive, and anything from that jerkoff, toothpick-eating, Red Sox-loving “comedian” who narrates those awful Ford commercials. Next on Joe’s list are those Dodge commercials with “Mike.” Hey Mike, first off, who the hell are you? Second, Joe hopes you decide to play tag with hungry great white shark. Only douchebags wear caps that don’t have some sort of logo.

* The Bucs defense is doing a nice job on all of these gimmick offensive sets the Phins use.

* That wasn’t a big enough hole to run through on that draw play by Ricky Williams, was it?

* Tanard Jackson with a massive fumble receovery. Sabby did a good job of knocking the ball out from Ronnie Brown but one good play after countless horrible plays doesn’t cut it.

* Almost a fantastic catch for a big gain by Winslow who got lit up.

* Gene Deckerhoff of the Bucs radio network just repeated what Joe has written about Freeman: escapability.

* Dave Moore of the Bucs radio network is sort of critical of Freeman for not putting his shoulder down to gain an extra yard for the first down. Joe is not critical. If your offense is worth a crap, you should be able to gain a yard on third down. No need get your rookie quarterback crushed for just one yard. It’s not like the game was on the line on that play.

* Michael Clayton (!) with a nice catch for the first down.

* Beautiful pass by Freeman to Winslow. The Bucs are on the move as the quarter comes to an end.
