I was reading this blog post about the Bucs final cuts, and the combination of these two points made me shake my head:
- Obviously, in keeping rookie QB Josh Johnson, the Bucs have again decided to keep four quarterbacks, at least for now. Letting go of Johnson now would have exposed him to the rest of the league. Plus, practice squads won't be formed for a couple days.
- The Bucs will be particularly thin on the offensive line, where they kept just eight players. And that includes injured Davin Joseph (foot), who will miss at least several weeks after surgery. While he's out, the Bucs have just two offensive line backups: Anthony Davis and Dan Buenning.
I still don't understand Gruden's fascination with keeping four quarterbacks. It seems like he knows that after Garcia, the rest are junk, so he'll just interchange them as they play depending on who looks the best moment. I don't ever really remember that being successful.
And finally, good luck Michael Spurlock, you're still the man...
