Graham Still Absent

TAMPA - Earnest Graham remains a no-show for offseason workouts. He didn’t miss much by skipping today’s practice.

Lighting strikes near One Buc Place forced cancellation of “voluntary workouts shortly after the players took the field Wednesday. One player who seemed a little glad the practice was cut short was rookie DB Aquib Talib.

Talib had only gone through a few drills when he realized the pace of practice with the veterans would be a lot faster than he was used to or maybe even expecting. He said it may take him a workout or two to get accustomed to the pace.

“The reps I did get, it went pretty good,’’ Talib said. “But this is a lot faster [than rookie minicamp]; there were a lot more players thrown at you here. Plus you got [guys going in] motion so you’ve got to know exactly what to check, exactly what to do. It was kind of overwhelming, but a couple more practice and I should be in tune with the situation.’‘

Jeff Garcia was back at work Wednesday, but word is he has yet to meet again with the Bucs regarding his contract. It’s pretty obvious that nothing is happening on the Graham front either.
