Jon Gruden’s concerns about Jeff Garcia’s lack of playing time in the preseason seem to be well-founded. Garcia misfired on a pass intended for Maurice Stovall (who fell down, anyway), and former Florida Gator Reggie Nelson was waiting for an easy interception, and the Jaguars are deep in Bucs territory, already leading 3-0.

Clearly, the speed of the Jacksonville defense, particularly the pass rush, is something Garcia couldn’t have prepared for while watching the other Bucs quarterbacks from the sidelines. It will be interesting to see how much Gruden chooses to play Garcia tonight, given that the last preseason game (at Houston next Thursday in the Bucs’ case) is rarely a showcase for established starters.
