Buchanon Likes Bucs; Bucs Want Buchanon
March 2nd, 2009Woody Cummings of the Tampa Tribune appeared on Sunday Sports Extra on WFLA-TV Sunday evening with The Martian.
Cummings had some interesting perspectives on all the moves the Bucs made the past week.
Some of Cummings’ thoughts:
* Phillip Buchanon wants to play for the Bucs. The Bucs want Phillip Buchanon to play for them.” As a result, Cummings expects Buchanon to return but said the Bucs are preparing just in case Buchanon flies the coop.
* Bengals wide receiver “T.J. Houshmandzadeh doesn’t want to play here.”
* “Mark Dominik is trying some things out of the box. Pretty soon he’s going to hit on something that is really going to help this club.”
* The Bucs are beefing up the receiving corps.
* “We already know the identity of this team: Defensively they are going to get after the quarterback. On offense, it will still be a West Coast team and with power running and they won’t be afraid to throw the ball downfield.”
* On Brooks being cut, “I still don’t understand that.” Cummings suggested Dominik and The Dream wants players who will practice daily, even in the waning weeks of the season. Many of the players cut on Black Wednesday were afforded days off during the week by Chucky so they would be as close to 100 percent on game day as possible.

I find it interesting that even with two faced back stabbing Gruden gone there still seems to be quite a number of players that don’t want to have anything to do with the Bucs. Why is that? The local media focused on that point so much last season that I was starting to buy it. It looks like maybe there are some other reasons good players don’t want to come here.
