Joe's going to invest in a defibrillator, which will be charged and ready every time Clifton Smith touches the ball

Clifton Smith keeps performing mean Devin Hester impressions but displays the hands of hundreds of NFL rookies who have fumbled their way out of the league.

Cardiac Smith is going to give Joe a heart attack by January.

The rookie fumbled for the fourth consecutive game on Sunday, a punt return in the third quarter. Yes, Cardiac has only played four games.

But Sunday he again showed big-league talent in the Bucs return game, including another TD punt return for 70 yards to rip the heart out of the Lions just after halftime.

Bucs fans, this is our return guy for the rest of the season.

Like him or not, he’s exciting and talented. Plus he’s the kind of playmaker who can score us an upset in the playoffs. That’s if he doesn’t fumble away our chances to get there.
