Caddy went down and when he came back last year THAT was a miracle, especially considering the type of injury he had. Except for the additional injury Williams was well ahead of the curve.

Now if he can rebound after that type of injury why would you think this would be any worse? Caddy’s a solid #4 RB. Who’s the #3? Clinton Smith? I mean come on. The only thing I’m worried about the Caddy is another injury. The only way to protect against that is to limit the carries.

As for Dunn vs. Williams good question. Dunn WOULD have been the better of the two based just on dependability – but Warrick’s not here.

I think you treat Carnell Williams like an antique car – in the garage mostly, run it to keep in shape then on show down take the cover off and let ‘er rip.

The other thing to consider is platooning Graham at FB with Ward and Willims as RB.

Mr. Lucky, “We know what Caddy can do.” Are you on drugs. Caddy is the biggest unknown on the team. We haven’t known what he can do since he went down in 2007.

Give Caddy the whole second half. If he can’t play you don’t waste a roster spot on him. I repeat. You don’t waste a roster spot. Much rather have Warrick Dunn, a guy who was overwhelmingly successful in a zone blocking scheme and can catch the ball.

We’re hopeing for a miracle with Caddy. THat didn’t work for the country and it won’t work for the Bucs. Get the guy out there

First 2 preseason games you need to play your STARTERS. Let’s see how the first team “gels” under the new offensive scheme.

Will injuries occur – possibly? But until you let your fist team work together on blocking, timing, etc., injuries will be the least of your conern.

Now with regard to using Carnell – I don’t have a problem letting him sit for the first 2 games. Give the Caddy more reps during the week. It’s obvious that he’s a worker because he’s way ahead of rehab schedule but right now he’s number 5 on the depth chart. Even IF Carnell shines in the preseason he has no trading value. If Ward or Graham go down then you’ve got a backup in the wings.

It’s time to use the preseason to work out your starters and stop playing patsie with players like Gruden did. Let’s be honest the Bucs need to cut 27 players and by now they should have a good idea on which 20 AREN’T going to make it. Stop giving these players so much time (3rd/4th string) because if they haven’t impressed in practice tough.

We know what the Caddy can do – Sit him down he’s 3rd string right now, don’t rev the engine too much.
