drafter Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Rotoworld reporting: The Tampa Tribune reports Michael Pittman slightly cracked his fibula in Sunday's loss to Indianapolis. He is expected to be out 3-4 weeks. Earnest Graham takes over as the Bucs' primary back, with the possibility of a trade before the October 16 deadline growing immensely. The Bucs have a tough matchup with surging Albert Haynesworth and the Titans in Week 6, so Graham should only be considered as a flex play. If the Bucs acquire another back this week, it will surely take him time to pick up their offense. Oct. 7 - 7:59 pm et Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ts Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Well, this is nice, since I added Pittman off the waiver wire to replace Deuce Mac, but I had to chuckle about this part: " If the Bucs acquire another back this week, it will surely take him time to pick up their offense." ...how long does it take for someone to "pick up" an offense that's pretty much: run for minus 2, incomplete pass, incomplete pass, punt ?

Ralph Furley Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 The Buc homers will have to keep us updated as to what the latest rumors are in Tampa. Does it look as though a trade may be in the works? I'm hoping I may have actually caught a break in picking up Ernest Graham, but he didn't put up any numbers yesterday. Granted they were playing catch up the entire game as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Beatings Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 And another one down and another one down another one bites the dust! For crying out loud... it's like someone fed Jeff Gillooly a bunch of coke and then sent him around the NFL with a crow bar and a list of names.

Mystykoekaki Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Meh, if Graham actually showed something this weekend then there would be news but he didn't and I don't think it matters.

I agree he'll do nothing, but I need him to do something for at least one week to give him the "perception" of a hot item so I can trade his ass!!!
