I hope McCown can prove to the coaches that he has what it takes. I want the team to be the strongest it can be but I have more faith in McCown than I do in Griese. We'll see - but I am confident that Gruden will make the right decision as he's by far one of the best coaches in the game.

The game is on the NFL network if you got it...
Hoping that McCown impresses and that Johnson gets some quality time with the first or second teamers..These are our young guns and our possible future,lets give them their due....

And I'd love to see T Jack and A Talib unload on a few Pats...
The Buccaneers T & T !!-or T & A ! either way,its all good with me!!
