As promised, Roy took time out of the Brett Favre watch here at Disney to answer your questions. We’ll try to have another session later in the week:

Q: After reading Peter King’s MMQB article, it seems that Favre is waiting for someone to “convince” him to join their team.  It’s one of those rare opportunities the Bucs shouldn’t pass up.  Why haven’t the Bucs made any attempts to contact Favre directly?  If the reports are accurate, why are they waiting for him to file his reinstatement papers?  Bruce Allen needs to step up and make contact for this to happen. Thanks for keeping us folks up to date on Bucs camp.  You’re my lifeline out there! - Kim Sabo, Tampa

A: Though theyr’e doing a rather poor job of it, the Bucs are actually trying to distance themselves from the Favre issue because they’re concerned about the way it will affect Jeff Garcia’s psyche. They have to keep in mind the possibility that a deal for Favre never happens and that Garcia remains their quarterback.

Q: Do you believe based on his performance in training camp so far that Michael Clayton will actually do something this year? - Kenneth, Tampa

A: We haven’t seen enough to make a judgment yet but Clayton’s comments about this being his contract year in the story Anwar Richardson wrote says a lot. Look for Clayton to have a big year.

Q: Roy, How has Parris Warren looked so far? Does it look like he is favoring his ankle? - Terry, Greensboro, N.C.

A: Paris doesn’t seem to be favoring his ankle at all. He hasn’t splashed onto the scene here yet, but he has plenty of time to do that.

Q: Hey guys, I have one question. The Bucs have taken a PR hit with the re-signing of Jerramy Stevens to a position that seems to be well-stocked already. Why wouldn’t they consider signing a guy like Chris Henry, previously of the Bengals? They both have off-the-field issues, but Henry would at least give us a proven commodity in a position of need. - Nick, Newport News, Va

A: Good point about the pr hit; I get the feeling though that Henry is someone these guys just don’t want in their locker room.

Q: Roy, long time no talk. The most interesting position to me this camp is WRs. I’ve heard about Bryant all offseason (hoping its not the David Boston hype from the last 2 seasons) and Clayton’s refocus. In your opinion who is looked the best so far in training camp? - Ash, Tampa

A: Clayton. He really looks like he’s determined to have a turn-around season.

Q: Roy, being that the receiving corps is the area that pretty much could make or break our run at the Super Bowl, do you think the fellas in the front office have thought or currently trying to get WR Eric Parker or WR Terry Glenn??  Both receivers have proven they can do it before, and and they both are speedy receivers who would excel in the flanker position, so why not? - Shawn Sudler, Greenville, NC

A: The Bucs have no interest in Parker, primarily because he’s still hurt. Glenn is someone I think they will consider but we’ve heard nothing along those lines yet.

Q: Roy, With the Bucs having their first practice in pads today, how did they split reps at QB? We have heard a lot of how Clayton has looked good, but how has Stovall looked so far? - Michael Singleton, Laguna Niguel, CA

A: Jeff Garcia got most of the reps this morning; Luke McCown got the second-most it seemed. They’ll split them so that it all evens out. This battle for the backup job won’t shake out until near the end of camp. Chris Simms is actually getting more reps than I thought he would. And you know what, he looks as good as Griese, McCown and Garcia. Stovall has looked good, too.

Q: Hi Roy, Who do you think has looked the best so far in the battle for the #2 WR spot? - Jason Schultz, Lewiston, PA

A: Michael Clayton. He just seems to have more fight in him.

Q: Hi Roy and Ira. Was wondering who has been playing at the first team under tackle and left end spots on the defensive line?  - Fred Thompson, Valrico

A: Good question; Jovan Haye has been at under tackle; Kevin Carter has been with the first-teamers at LDE.

Q: How is Warrick Dunn looking out there? - Todd, Port St. John

A: He’s getting a lot of reps and looks very good.

Q: How is Dexter Jackson’s progress? Have you seen anything that “wowed” you in practice? - Justin Evans, Wilmington, NC

A: Not really; the biggest concern is his size. He had one ball thrown to him over the middle here that the QB had to throw high to avoid throwing an interception and Jackson couldn’t make the leap to make the catch. He’s going to have to work outside the numbers and the Bucs are going to have be creative to get him matched up properly. Bottom line: he’s awfully small for a wideout. He could still make it as a return man, but this is looking like a risky pick.

Q: How do you see the RB situation playing out? From the number of snaps with the first team, who looks like they have the advantage so far and are they trying to work Bennett into the offense a little more? Maybe having him line up in the slot? Having his speed on the field can only help keep a defense honest. - Bill, Scranton, PA.

A: Bennett is getting a lot of reps, but I wouldn’t reach much into that. The Bucs know what they have in Earnest Graham and Warrick Dunn. Bennett still has to prove he knows the playbook. I think he’s doing that and he could give them a real explosive element if he can stay healthy.
