Joe will have more in his practice notes later, but the Bucs had some troubles catching the football today.

During an interview on the Ron and Ian Show on WDAE-AM 620 following practice, the leader of the New Schiano Order acknowledged the bad-hands day.

“I do think we had an issue today [with drops],” said Schiano, citing fatigue as the likely cause. “Circumstances can’t dictate our behavior.”

Ultimately, drops are ball security issues, something Schiano is obsessed with. They’re also drive-killers and in many ways are turnovers. Guys dropping balls on Friday night not named Vincent Jackson are going fall back on the depth chart.
