Darn. Good luck to him, though. Heaven knows that in Tampa, he'll need it.

Double darn. And yet another example of why Hard Knocks was so cool. I feel like I got to know him, the scene where his Mom got to see him play in the NFL for the first time was extra memorable, and I happen to think he has a decent football future in the NFL. Hope they can get him back someday, and hope he does as well as he can in Tampa.

Good luck Chris. Perhaps if he doesn't stick at the end of the year he'll have a chance to return. In the meantime, I hope it works for him in TB. I didn't realize that Corey Lynch got taken by the Bucs earlier too.

Also it's a shame if they left him unprotected and then have to go out and get another fullback if JJ is hurt seriously. Maybe Coats will go to FB and they will bring in CUrtis or one of these other guys to play TE.

Lastly, was that Peko in the backfield on Cedric's TD run? Ouch.

Dear Christ no. I have just got that image blanked out of my memory.

How is Vakapuna doing in Ari? Maybe Billy can shed some light. Pressley will work himself into some team's lineup. I'm sure of it. Very best of luck to him. He's one of those guys who gets how lucky he is to be a pro athlete.

Damn I liked Press......Buccaneers need to get the hell up off our practice Squad...

Didn't sammie castle or what everh is name get signed too?

PS,they need get rid of practice squads & make normal roster 60.

Indeed, it was. Peko said the opposing linebacker didn't know he had come into the game. Apparently, the look of horror on the face of said linebacker when he saw Peko charging him down was pretty comical.

Sorry Pidge!

It's staggering how we managed to win even 4 games last yr.

[BlainThePain]

I hope he does well. Probably my favorite player that Hard Knocks profiled.

Fitzpatrick nuff said.

Damn, he's got a future ahead for him. Solid player. I doubt he'll make it back to us.

Tampa Bay's scouting department must have a copy of Hard Knocks on file. They will probably claim Jason Shirley next week. Anyway, it's a good career break for Pressley and I too wish him well. The Bengals,I think, need to sign another FB type. They could pick up Fui off the Cardinals practice squad if they could find a spot for him on the 53 man roster. Since Coats has been demoted,the writing is on the wall for his Bengals future. Here's another thought:cut Jerome Simpson. I bet he would clear waivers so that he could be re-signed to the practice squad. Then sign Bear Pascoe off the Giants' practice squad for his TE blocking and special teams abilities. There you go!
