Frankly the Bucs will do better with Pittman and Graham; but Petitgout is a huge team loss.

Posted by  JP, Las Vegas on 10/01  at  11:56 PM

Looks like Corey Dillon says “no”.  Sorry I don’t think that Michael Turner would be worth Chris Simms plus a 2nd rounder.  I just don’t see running backs being worth that.  I think Michael turner is probably worth a 2nd and 4th but that’s it.  And knowing San Diego’s General Manager Smith, he would probably run that price high knowing our situation.  I still don’t like the idea of giving away picks for a running back.  For a running back, even Julius Jones or Marion Barber, I still see as worth only a 2nd rounder. See who else is out there for a good price.  If not, we deal with Pitman, Graham, and Darby.  They are pretty hard and tough runners.

I think if Gruden, Barber and Brooks were standing on the sidelines, doing the huggy thing perhaps we would have had a shut out!  Monty was pissed and I don’t blame him.  These guys were acting like the game was over and it “weren’t” over.

Bad move, Jon!

According to Chris Mortensen’s ESPN article, the Bucs contacted Corey Dillon’s agent, BEFORE Sunday’s game even ended.  Rest assured Chucky is doing everything he can to bring someone else in.  Tiki Barber might not be as much of a fetch as you would think.  He already said that Tom Coughlin ran him out of football.  You don’t think that the chance to play with his brother one last time isn’t on his mind?  With a Barber on each side of the ball, the Bucs easily become one of the top tier teams in the NFC.

If Garcia hasnt learned to “slide” yet, I dont think he’s gonna! Dillon, Rasta Rickey or Barber would be an Upgrade from Caddy!

Posted by  Scott Rutherford, Riverview on 10/01  at  09:18 PM

Send Simms and a 2nd and 3rd rounder to SD and get Michael Turner. It would be an upgrade above all on current roster.

I agree with pat,losing luke hurts alot,this line is playing very well.I heard during the monday nite game the bucs reached out to cory dillon.This ealy in the season with the bucs playing so well i think they should put a package together and try to get Micheal Turner from the chargers.He is only 25 yr old and only signed a one year contract with the charger.This guy can start for alot of teams right now-he’s a beast!This guy hits the hole hard and quick.He strong and fast and at 5’10 227 he breaks alot of tackles.

Posted by  Erik Cottman, Chester,Pa on 10/01  at  08:51 PM

Now we all will see what type of team this is. We all have seen what they can do but what is the character of this team via Jon or Chuckie? Has Garcia revived Chuckie back yet? I hope so. Here is where Allen/Gruden makes or breaks their career in Tampa. We still have 2 good backs, the trade deadline, and 2 tackles. Pettigut is the biggest loss because obviously the team need stability at that position. Who cares? We’re 3-1!

There’s a reason Graham hasn’t started played for four years.  He averaged less than 3 ypc yesterday in his first extended playing time and couldn’t punch it in from the 1.  RB by committee isn’t such a bad thing.  There are very few feature backs that carry the load without missing time due to injury.  Darby was great at Alabama before his injury.  Let’s see what he can do.

Posted by  Joe Perez, North Carolina on 10/01  at  07:55 PM

Losing these two guys is a real hit!  Altho I love Caddy, and I think he was getting it turned aroung, we will miss Luke the most.  I will say I watched Penn the rest of the game, and I think he played very well.  I did notice that, unlike last week when we ran better as the game went on, the opposite happened Sunday.  Yardage became harder and harder to come by.  That is disappointing, but the o-line did have an excellent game.  On 4th down at the goal line, Wade is the one who was overpowered, there was a cavity there if he had been able to hold his ground.

injury update from the indy star: wr marvin harrison (bruised knee in first quarter)...s bob sanders(bruised ribs)...lb rob morris (sprained knee, most likely out)...rb joseph addia (bruised shoulder)...te ben utecht (uspecified but did not play in second half)...all injuries are considered serious except addia’s…

Posted by  Maurice, New York on 10/01  at  06:21 PM

It was bad enough when Caddy got hurt but losing Luke was Huge. I hope that theres a lineman out their before the trade deadline, if not then i hope donald, or davis can go out there and stop FREENY, and all the other pass rushers we play this year. Either way were still making the playoffs.
    Who’s in first place of the division again?

Posted by  al t, belleview on 10/01  at  06:16 PM

I am one who disliked cadillac’s performance. He IS the best back on the team all others are a let down if he plays hard.
Before the injury he tanked on 2 plays that were long gains but he didn’t make the catch in traffic,the sound of little feet got to him! if you play to not get hurt you usually get in an awkword position and get hurt.Sorry carnell look at the tape!
I am truely sorry that you were hurt.

Sure hate to see any get seriously injured but I believe losing Petitgout will hurt worse than losing Pinto oops I mean Cadillac.Pittman and Graham will come through and I hope Penn & Davis can cut it.

Posted by  Patrick Dotson, Tampa,FL on 10/01  at  04:01 PM

i see darby,graham and pittman doing a fine job…i would be more worried about our oline losing luke….the plus side is that our defense is playing very well and as long as we can give garcia a little time he will make the right descisions..the man hasnt thrown a int yet and when he is in trouble he does the right thing….he needs to learn how to slide as well…the colts game is going to be the true test of this team….....my thoughts go out to luke and caddie…what a lose….good luck to a speedy and successful recovery…ANYBODY ELSE MAKING THE TRIP TO INDY….GO BUCS

Posted by  Jen McCormick, Louisville, KY on 10/01  at  03:42 PM

Hey, don’t count those Bucs out just yet!  Although extremely valuable players, 2 men do not make a football team.  I’m not giving up on the season!

Posted by  Char, Brandon FL on 10/01  at  03:08 PM

Terrible about these two great players, and I wish them both well in there recovery! But I think infact IM certain we will be fine! Pittman & Graham can handle it! Go Buc’s:)

Posted by  Scott Campbell, Ft. Myers, Fl on 10/01  at  03:07 PM

After Petitgout went out, did the Bucs not go for 3rd & 4th and real short 3 or 4 times and fail? Wasn’t one of those right in front of Carolina’s goal. That would have been total game domination. I’m betting the young O-line learns from that in the meeting room. Feel it on the practice field.

Posted by  Rich Kenneth, Lompoc, CA on 10/01  at  03:03 PM

Tiki is a decent choice; I am sure he misses playing.  R. Williams will bring the Circus to town, something the Bucs don’t need.  Adding Barber could make a championship difference, but it is really unlikely that will happen.  Pittman can do just enough and is willing to fill the RB job for now.  Have we forgotten that he played ok the Super bowl year?  He has promise.  He might not have the vision that some backs have, but makes up for it in hustle.  He is also great out of the backfield on screens.  With Pittman and Graham, we’ll march on to be division champs, beyond that it are hard to tell how far we could go.

Posted by  Dan Kohler, Ellenton on 10/01  at  02:52 PM

You guy are crazy if you want Barber or Ricky Williams. Bring Darby up, he showed so stuff in pre season.

Posted by  david birch, san mateo on 10/01  at  02:20 PM

no time to panic…gruden et.al. will look and see who’s available…rb is not the biggest hole to fill…o-line will be the biggest challenge…its not a coincadence that ricky williams applied for re-instatement today…why not give him a look?? he can use boston’s locker, or stevens’, or…

Posted by  Erica Johnson, Palm Desert, CA on 10/01  at  02:15 PM

Terrible news for both guys….anyone know what knee injury Petitgout suffered???

Posted by  David Hill, Tampa on 10/01  at  02:11 PM

WOW bad news, should we move forward and sign Tiki Barber or Ricky Williams to ride out the season. I dont Pittman as our feature back or Graham. What you people think.

Posted by  Justin Lawrence, Palm Beach Gardens, FL on 10/01  at  02:05 PM

Vincent, those stats don’t tell the story at all. Teams don’t send 8 men in the box to stop Pittman, he’s a good 3rd down back but he’s no Caddy. Lets wait and see what Pittman’s average drops to, I can guarantee it doesn’t stay at 6 yards per carry!
