Cadillac still questionable
Posted Sep 14, 2007 by Roy Cummings

TAMPA - It’s looking better for Cadillac Williams, but no one knows for sure just yet whether he’ll be able to play Sunday against the Saints.
Bucs coach Jon Gruden said he’ll wait until just before game time to decide whether Williams will play and Williams said he won’t know himself if he can go until he goes out and bounces around a little bit on Sunday morning.
The problem, of course, is sore ribs. Williams bruised them in the game against Seattle last week and he’s been improving steadily since. He can breathe and run and jump around without much pain now, but taking a hit is another matter entirely.
The likelihood, though, is that Williams will at least start the game. If he can’t go after a few tries, the Bucs can easily turn to either Michael Pittman or Earnest Graham because both dress for games on a regular basis.
Another player that remains questionable is NT Chris Hovan. Hovan hasn’t practiced all week because of a sore ankle and he’ll likely be a game-time decision as well. If Hovan can’t go look for Ryan Sims to get the bulk of the work inside.
The Bucs other injured players are CB Brian Kelly and DE Patrick Chukwurah. Both appear to be out for this week’s game.

Give him a break Nancy…he got Jacked Up!
Suggest removalBetter yet, why don’t you suit up. You sound manly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Plus, why tell the Saints if he’s ready to go. Let them spend the time game planning for someone else.

Nancy, you have never sustained an injury like that and then have to face getting hit again. Sit and watch the game on your fluffy couch and leave your rediculous comments to yourself.

I’M JUST SAYING HE IS ALWAYS GETTING HURT AND I HEARD IAN BECKLES ON SPORTS RADIO THIS WEEK SAY THAT EVERY PLAYER HAS BRUISED RIBS AFTER A GAME

MAM, I APOLOGIZE IF I CAME ACROSS HARSH OR RUDE, BUT BELIEVE ME THEY ALL WALK AWAY FROM THAT FIRST GAME SORE!IN HIS CASE VERY SORE. I’M TELLING YOU HE GOT POPPED LIKE NO OTHER BUC RUNNING BACK I’VE SEEN POPPED! WHEN I FIRST SAW THE REPLAY; I THOUGHT FOR CERTAIN, BROKEN RIBS… GONE FOR THE SEASON. I WILL BE HAPPY IF HE IS BACK AND RUNNING STRONG BY WEEK 5, BY THEN OUR O LINE SHOULD HAVE GELLED AND THE CADDY WILL BE RUNNING ON HIGH OCTANE, BABY GIRL!
FOR YOU GUYS ON THE O LINE, YOU CONTROLLED THE GAME FOR 20 MINUTES LAST SUNDAY, IT;S A MENTALL THING, PHYSICALLY YOU CAN DOMINATE YOU PROVED IT! NOW BELIEVE, CONCIEVE & ACHIEVE… GET OUT THERE AND RIP SOME A’’ UP!!!!!!!

Nancy, you’re an idiot.

better to sit out a game and let this injury heal rather than having this thing linger throughout the season…in the end it doesn’t matter because the bus record will be the same..0-2…his durability is a red flag…pittman runs like he wears army boots…let darby play..
Suggest removalPor (Steve Smith) on September 15, 2007 (Suggest removal)
I bet Adrian Peterson won’t bruise his little ribs all year long. Or at least nobody will know if they are. Caddy needs to toughen up now or Gruden is done. Gruden could save his job by activating Darby but without someone with speed we have no running game.

Come on guys play nice,don’t call her an idiot-thats not right.It gets fustrating when your franchise back is either hurt all the time or isn’t getting any yards.

dex is right…everyone is entitled to his/her opinion…lets aim our venom at those who really deserve it…lets face it, most of those at one buc place haven’t seen the ball since the kick-off…peace…
