Dexter Jackson continues to struggle to bring anything to the offense but yet again on Thursday he returned a punt with spectacular results as he went 83-yards for a score.
Brian Griese has performed well enough in the preseason to be the Buccaneers' starter and has likely held off Luke McCown for the primary backup job behind Jeff Garcia, according to the St. Petersburg Times. Griese said, "It's a system I feel very comfortable in. There is a lot of responsibility put on the quarterback's lap to get in and out of the right plays, so I take a lot of pride in that. I enjoy that part of it, so it works well for me."
Ryan Nece is on the bubble to make the Buccaneers' roster at linebacker, according to the Tampa Tribune. He said, "I feel like I've gotten better, not worse. I feel like I'm wiser in the defense now. Bottom line, I feel like I've still got a lot of football left in me. "It's a different place for me (being on the bubble). It's a humbling place."
