Chucky has a big fan in Davin Joseph

Add Davin Joseph to the slowly growing list of Chucky-lovers on the Bucs roster.

Responding to a question from syndicated radio host Jim Rome about Bucs players bashing Jon Gruden over the past two weeks, Joseph said he had a lot of fun playing for Chucky.

“He doesn’t do the best job satisfying everybody, [but] the majority loved him,” Joseph said. “I’m biased towards him. He drafted me.”

Joseph went on to say fired Bucs offensive line coach Bill Muir “is the best offensive line coach in the league.”

Joseph heads to his first Pro Bowl next week. He was named to the NFC team as a first alternate. Joseph told Rome about the happy moment when Bruce Allen called him to break the news.

Joseph said his mother will accompany him to Hawaii. But later in the day talking with Steve Duemig, of 620 AM, The Sports Animal, Joseph said he also was paying the bill to bring along fellow linemen Jeremy Trueblood, Donald Penn and Aaron Sears.

Joe suspects that after mom retires for the night their will be some serious partying going on in Honolulu. For Donald Penn, it should represent a step up from those late nights at IHOP.
