On Sunday, Charley Casserly of CBS reported that the Buccaneers will be fined for having contact with players during the lockout. We followed that up with a report that the issue arose from seven calls that were placed to players — three of which registered one minute or less. Coach Raheem Morris called tight end Kellen Winslow after Winslow’s wife had a baby, and Morris called former Bucs linebacker Niko Koutovides.

On Monday, Morris addressed the situation during a press conference, admitting that he called Winslow. Morris also said that he called cornerback Aqib Talib after he “went to jail,” which apparently is a reference to Talib’s arrest for aggravated assault.

Morris then thanked (with sarcasm) JoeBucsFan.com, a Buccaneers fan blog that reported on radio comments from Morris indicating that he had been in touch with the team’s players.

“Hey listen,” Morris said in early June, per JoeBucsFan.com. “I talk to them all the time. I talk to those guys all the time.” On Monday, Morris indicated that the item from JoeBucsFan.com resulted in the NFL checking his phone records. (Here’s our item on the topic from June 10.)

      Canes vs Bruins 7pm Halloween Edition!

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      As I said less than 10 minutes into the game, Boston looks nothing like we're used to seeing. Regardless, any curb-stomping of the Bruins is welcome.  The scorers all got the glory tonight, but all 6 D-men had excellent games. Across the board- Gost, Orlov, Chatty, Walker and, of course, Slavin & Burns.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      I just tried a few mock draft simulators and this is the only way lol. Nothing else makes sense.

      No, biggest weakness is pass rush, but I don't think there is a blue chip can't miss DE prospect to take at #1 this year, same as with QB.  But beyond that, moving forward, yea WR is a pretty damn big weakness. We have 1 game this season over 224 yards passing and just traded away our best WR (who wasn't going to re-sign here anyways).  That WR no longer on the team was also the only player we've had this year who had over 78 yards receiving in a game.  So again, yea, WR is one of our biggest weaknesses even right now, let alone moving into the future. As I just said in my other post, I love Legette, but he's not going to be a Top 5-10 WR type of guy, Top 15-20 I can see, I think he can be a good #1 WR or an elite #2. After that, what do we have for the future?  Thielen isn't part of it, sure as hell isn't going to be Mingo, and as much as we all like Coker, in no world is Coker as our #2 to Legette as the #1 going be considered as "having weapons" at WR, even with Brooks and Sanders. But put someone like T-Mac into that group, who I genuinely think is going to be a Top 5 WR in this league for a long time, and it changes things.  A Top 5 WR with Legette/Coker as the 2/3, along with Brooks and Sanders, has the potential to be one of the best set of offensive weapons in the league if they reach their potential.
