"Does this friggin' guy Greg Olson have any clue on how to covert a third down?"

It’s getting harder and harder to defend Raheem the Dream for Joe, who really likes the Bucs first-year coach.

A lot of the problems are totally his doing. At least he was wise enough to take care of some matters, such as defrocking defensive coordinator Jim Bates.

But with each bumbling loss Joe winces more. NFL.com analyst Bucky Brooks seems to agree with Joe. Brooks believes Raheem the Dream may be back next year but the next three weeks Brooks believes the Bucs have to start making major strides for Raheem the Dream to survive.

Cody, The Bucs are a team in transition. Therefore, I wouldn’t scrutinize their record this year, and focus primarily on the progress of their young players. If they can make strides with their youngsters this year, they can orchestrate a big turnaround in 2010. I would expect the ownership to have patience with Morris, but he needs to get his team to play hard down the stretch to ensure his return.

Joe was willing to give Raheem the Dream a major mulligan. But learning that the Bucs half-assed it in practice last Friday, well, well that falls directly on the feet of the head coach.
