Bucs/Texans Recap


Yawn.  And if I was struggling to stay interested, I’ll bet my friend across the ocean, catching this game in the wee hours, was out cold.  Why does the NFL do this to us?  A four game pre-season schedule where the players we know see a couple of series here and there - and with tickets (and beer and brats) at full regular-season prices - goodness!  I think McCain and Obama should make this a campaign promise.  “No longer will you be subjected to four long weeks of this!”

My review?  Yeh… McCown okay, blah, blah.  Simms bound for Baltimore, blah, blah.  Michael Bennett equals Mr. August, blah, blah.

Where was Michael Clayton tonight?  For a guy said to be fighting for his roster life, I say hmmm.  How about Ryan Nece?  Barely scratched his way onto the stat sheet.  Can’t bode well for his chances. 

Will someone please… PLEASE!!!! agree with me that this Matt Bryant thing is scary?  I will give you the 54 yarder.  But wide right again on one that I could have kicked?  A wonderful 3 out of 5 on the night?  I’m telling you, go to Costco or Sams to buy your Rolaids.  You’re going to need the BIG jar.

Dexter Jackson cemented his spot tonight, I think.  I’m not really thinking he needed to cement it - a second round pick, you figure he has a spot on merit.  But, in addition to the TD return, his ability to make a play any time the ball is in his hands will make him a toy Gruden wants around. 

What did you see out there tonight?

About Darin:

Darin Shaw has served as the Senior Pastor at Christ's Church of Amherst, N.H., since January 2000. He's written a few blurbs, led a few projects and produced a few cool things over the years. The very best of what he's produced are four wonderful girls - Amanda, Katie, Becky and Emily - he managed to pull that off along with his lovely wife Shari. Together they all live in a red house surrounded by lots of trees in the same community with lots of really great people. He is known to hang out on Sunday mornings with people of a much higher caliber than he, and counts that among life's greatest privileges. Then, on Sunday afternoons, Darin and his family settle in for the full slate of NFL games, shouting loudest when the Buccaneers take the field.

Key Stats: 6-2, 240 ... 16-year veteran of Pastoral Ministry out of Florida Bible College and Southwestern Bible College and Theological Seminary ... Boasts of being able to count on one hand the number of Buccaneers games he has missed (either having been there in person, watched on television, or listened to the radio) since they entered the NFL in 1976. ... Sports a lifetime 74 percent accuracy in NFL prognostication ... Certifiable Jesus freak; loving husband; devoted father; zealous blogger.
