Williams #55 CB: Champ Bailey #24 CB: Dre Bly #32 FS: Marlon McCree #20 SS: Marquand Manuel #33 INJURY REPORT: Joey Galloway, Sabby Piscitelli (questionable); Derrick Brooks, Aqib Talib (probable); B.J. Askew (out); Darrell Jackson (questionable); Andre Hall, Elvis Dumervil, Boss Bailey, Eddie Royal (probable) GAME INFO: 10/5/08; 4:05p.m. ET; FOX (check local listings) PREDICTION: Here's hoping Talib is active, and gets his fair of playing time, because we'll need his speed against Denver's free-flying offense. Davin Joseph is back and fully healthy, further solidifying our great young O-line and further setting up Griese for success. Galloway is once again questionable and did not practice Wednesday, but we won the last two games without him. Hilliard or Stovall can readily step in to that starting spot. On Denver's side of things, their linemen have a tendency to cut-block, so that's something for the Bucs D-line to look out for. Aside from Barber, we have plenty of speed in the secondary to cover the remaining receivers. Bucs win, 30-20.
Wow, this is going to be a good game. Denver's defense has given up plenty of points this year. But their offense continually bails them out. If you can stop their passing attack, you stand a very good chance of winning this game.
At least we know Eddie Royal's not 100%. That's a load off our backs. But we still have to deal with Marshall.
I'm not sure, but he was listed as probable on the injury report, leading me to believe that something's not right. Fuck Denver.
