List of Moves by the Bucs today

Awesome! now you'll witness the specialness of K-Darbs

What about Cox?

[yuccaneers]

I totally agree with dbucfan on this one

this is a wait and see situation .. if penn and graham don't show they can handle the starter workload, expect more movement in the next 2 weeks.

Safe bet that all movement will cease in two weeks - since the trade deadline is then.  Insightful.

good post. I like the move of bringing up Darby. He could be a real good back up and help us on special teams. I also like the fact that they kept it in house and didn't go sing an outsider who will come in and demand carries i.e Corey Dillion

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers today announced that they have signed RB Kenneth Darby and T Dennis Roland to the active roster from the practice squad and placed T Luke Petitgout and RB Carnell Williams on the Injured Reserve list. Additionally, the Buccaneers have signed T Ryan Gibbons, WR Chad Lucas and RB DonTrell Moore to the practice squad and released CB Marcus Hamilton from the practice squad.

Darby joined the Buccaneers as a seventh-round selection (246th overall) in the 2007 NFL Draft. He spent the first four weeks of the season on the Buccaneers practice squad. Roland spent the entire 2006 season as a member of the Buccaneers practice squad after entering the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Dallas Cowboys in 2006. He also spent the first four weeks of the 2007 season on the Tampa Bay practice squad. Petitgout and Williams sustained season-ending knee injuries in the Week 4 victory at Carolina.

Gibbons joins the practice squad after being released from the Jacksonville Jaguars practice squad on September 20. Lucas rejoins the Buccaneers practice squad after being released from the active roster on September 29. Moore joins the Buccaneers practice squad after being released by the Tennessee Titans on September 1. Hamilton was a seventh-round selection (245th overall) by the Buccaneers in the 2007 NFL Draft and spent the first four weeks on the practice squad.

yes, this was my point -- wait and see for a week or two until the trade deadline .. if we win 1 or 2 more games but don't get good production out of graham or penn, then it puts more onus to upgrade for the rest of this year.

not sure why you need to measure the insightfulness of someone's posts.

Jesus. 

I am shocked.

The Bucs sign Ken Darby to the active squad.

Wow.

Yucs, the Bucs made no moves son.  Looks like your inside info is in err...

[LA BUC]

So we lose two big name players and all we get is two practice squad players to replace them?  Come on!!!

Was Darby really that good on special teams? I can't remember him doing much in the preseason on special teams.

I think we have to on this one. Right now we have zero leverage in any deals we might make as everyone assumes we're desperate. If we are competetive this week with the backups all of a sudden we have some bargaining room again and if we lose, well, we lost to the Colts and we're not really any worse off trade wise since no one expects us to beat the Colts anyway.

I liked DonTrell Moore in college. New Mexico, right?

No, he wasn't, and that's just one reason why he didn't make the roster.

Practice squad players know the playbook and are ahead of the game and can produce instantly if called upon.

Potheads (R Williams) and retreads from other teams don't know the system and will likely take awhile to learn it.
