Joe had a great laugh during Raheem The Dream’s news conference this afternoon.

The head coach dropped a gem sure to evoke Amen head nods from the legions of Michael Clayton bashers, aka Bucs fans who expect a well paid veteran wide receiver to catch the ball.

Before the priceless quote, Raheem The Dream was asked about starting Maurice Stovall over the struggling Clayton when Clayton returns from injury (presumably next week next week or the week after). 

Raheem The Dream was, of course, non-commital but quick to defend Clayton.

“Clayton’s probably dropped as many balls as Stovall,” Raheem The Dream said.

That got a chuckle from Joe, but the big laugh came a few moments later when Raheem the Dream explained Stovall and Clayton have been sharing practice reps for a while.

“I think Michael Clayton’s a better player when he plays less snaps,” Raheem The Dream said before explaining that Clayton gets worn out from blocking.

Thanks for the laugh, Rah. Joe agrees that less Clayton is a good thing.
