First Day Of Bucs Rookie Mini-Camp
May 4th, 2012Joe, along with the rest of the Bucs pen and mic club, was allowed to watch the first 30 minutes of practice on the first day of the Bucs rookie mini-camp Friday.
Now Joe prides himself on his photography but he must apologize. The team practice so far away from where media was allowed that Joe really needed a better lens on his camera. The following photos are usually below Joe’s level of quality, mostly grainy because Joe had to blown them up so much.
With apologies up front, here are some sights of One Buc Palace Friday.

Per the loud, implicit orders of Bucs coach Greg Schiano, players had to run outside the end line and around a pylon after running each play.

Its weird seeing 24 and it not being Caddy….
Thanks for the pics, Barron is a big dude!

Thomas:
He was so far away Joe couldn’t see him. At best, players came within 35 yards of Joe.
But Joe did interview Martin. You’ll see some stuff later.

Hehe Kenji “Jackson” is a Safety wearing the #36? I wonder if anyone informed him that jersey might have bad luck?
The last Jackson to wear it got booted a month ago!

@941 — maybe Kenji should wear 28 that T-Jack’s # before he sucked

Joe needs to understand the difference between implicit and explicit. Seems if they were loud orders that would mean explicit… If they were clear and direct, most likely explicit… If the orders were “implied” rather than explicitly stated, then they would be implicit. That doesn’t sound like the case.

well it good be surmised …that “implict orders”..were a word to the wise…and if one needs explict orders you might not have the right stuff..

Thanks for the coverage Joe. Laughed my ass off at your comments about how far away the players were. Lets hope Coach doesn’t kill somebody. He’s not in Jersey anymore.
