Welcome to another successful installment of Five Questions with an Enemy Blogger, where each week, via email, I will be exchanging hot questions and [sometimes] answers with a rival blogger about their team and the upcoming matchup.
This week I sat down with Jamie Kiefer of Atop the Crow’s Nest , a Most Valuable Network column that covers the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Dan Benton: “Although he was a little... Read Full Story
Saints fans knew that this was going to be a tough game against a division opponent and one they desperately wanted to win. The last meeting between the two teams was in week one as the Saints won 24 to 20 but that game wasn’t over until the defense intercepted Garcia with 44 seconds left. However, the Buccaneers have 8 victories since then, including being 5-0 at home this season and have won their last three games.
Saints QB Drew Brees (24,/47, 296 yards, 2 TDs, 3 INTs) has been on fire... Read Full Story
The Chicago Bears had everything going for them last Sunday in Carolina, but then forgot to close out a 14-point lead, and allowed the Panthers to claw their way back for a tough defeat - 20-17. This week they return home to host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a team that won it’s first game last weekend, thumping the young Falcons, 24-6.
The Bucs are in the midst of issues within the team. Head coach Jon Gruden and former starter Jeff Garcia are not exactly breaking bread these days, and he... Read Full Story

After a season in which the Tampa Bay Buccaneers went from worst to first in the NFC South without him, Chris Simms probably felt a burning need to remind people that, yes, he’s still a football player, and he feels much better now, thanks .
“I’m finally feeling like myself again; I mean, it’s no comparison to how I felt during training camp and the preseason. I got everything figured out and I’m back on the right track... Read Full Story

It is seeming like more and more that current Bucs Defensive Coordinator Raheem Morris is going to be the new head coach in Tampa Bay. Morris, who was put in charge of the Bucs D when Monte Kiffin announced he was heading to join his son at Tennessee, was a finalist for the Broncos coaching job that went to Josh McDaniels.
Now it looks as if the Glazer’s, who shocked everyone with the firing of coach Jon Gruden and GM Bruce Allen on Friday, like what they see from Morris, and it’s being... Read Full Story

Buccaneers coach Jon Gruden is known for having one of the most complex playbooks in football. It might not be as thick as the 700-pager that Al Saunders makes the Redskins memorize, but the Gruden system is so complicated in its verbiage that quarterbacks can get tongue-tied calling plays.
Running back Michael Bennett, who’s new to Tampa Bay after getting traded there from Kansas City, tells the St. Petersburg Times he’s struggling to learn the Gruden... Read Full Story
There appears to be more and more bad blood brewing between Bucs coach Jon Gruden and quarterback Chris Simms. It was earlier in the week that Simms basically said that Tampa Bay was holding him hostage, and that he wanted to move to another team and resume his carrer where he will get a chance to play. Now coach Gruden is firing back and making it known about his feelings towards Simms are not hostile.
“I like Chris Simms. I don’t necessarily agree with everything he said. But I’m... Read Full Story
He has heard the whispers, and murmurs through the years, read the unflattering columns written about him in the tabloids, and has realized that he has been skewered on Sports Talk Radio not only in his own market New York, but on a National basis. There was talk that he was a bust, especially as the number one pick in the NFL Draft. That his team had made a mistake to trade for him that they should have taken Phillip Rivers and kept the draft picks. That he would never be as good as his... Read Full Story
