No “Country Club” Feelings For Sore Clayborn
April 17th, 2013
As Davin Joseph reminded Bucs fans yesterday, any whiff of the “country club” Raheem Morris era is long gone from One Buc Palace.
Frankly, that “country club” line from Joseph was nothing new. Several weeks ago, he told the dean of Tampa Bay sports radio, Steve Duemig, that the Bucs under Raheem “lost that hard-work ethic,” and last year Joseph spoke of the New Schiano Order have much higher strength and conditioning standards than the Raheem regime.
The Bucs resumed team-supervised training on Monday, and Adrian Clayborn took to Twitter to explain his pain yesterday.
@AJayClay – Legs and arms so sore I have to use my elbows to get off the couch lol.
#thanksJB
The “thanksJB” hash tag surely refers to former Rutgers and current Bucs strength and conditioning coach Jay Butler.
Joe finds it interesting that Clayborn, hardly a workout slacker, was hurting so soon. Joe suspects after a full season working with players under the New Schiano Order, Butler’s detailed workouts individually crafted for players are a supremely challenging out of the gate.

Man I hope our DL can stay healthy.
Imagine a healty and productive McCoy, Bowers, Clayborn, and Star\Richardson? Damn.

I’m already on record supporting McCoy and Joseph as the Bucs team leaders. And I put into context their words in support of the Schiano Way. All are positives for the Bucs moving forward. But some are taking Joseph words regarding the “country club” to be a swipe at Raheem Morris. I want to think not!
For those who do, I want to quickly point out that the new Bucs still have some work to do and I anticipate that they will eventually get it done. But let the truth be told, the country club went 10-6 in 2010 and but for an errant call in the Detroit game, they would have made the playoffs. And as I recall, it was done on a no-frills budget, ie, no FA. Unless my memory fails me Joseph was in the tub as he was last year.
Make no mistake about it Morris was in over his head and Joseph has been absent far too much when he was really needed. So, I have to believe that his words today means he prefers and appreciates the new emphasis on football and thinks it will pay off with the desired results. I believe that too, but we can’t change facts and I don’t think Joseph has forgotten them!

Pain is weakness leaving the body.
I am glad to hear our Bucs are sore from training.
Playoffs= Pain.

Clayborn probably has muscle fatigue from being limited with his knee injury. He will be in shape soon enough. No need to rush it.

Good to hear he is sore. Must be working hard. Means his knee has pretty much healed and baring any further injuries should be 100 percent by camp. Now that we have heard from Joseph and Clayborne we néed some good news regarding Nick’s toe.

Excited to See Clayborn back on the field! I believe That Bowers and Clayborn are gonna be a great set of ends!!

Tear it down to build it back up! This will definitely benefit us down the stretch.

Maybe it’s bc this is the first day back resuming football activities. He’s spent most of his time rehabbing an injury and strengthening that knee. Of course it’ll take him some time to get back into things.

I believe the country club remark had to do somewhat about the coach going out to party with the guys on the team, music on the sidelines and some dancing instead of paying attention to the game and who would/could blame Joseph for getting/being hurt? I’m sure he would have rather had been playing. Have you ever had to rehab a leg or arm injury? Take it from someone who has, it can be pure misery. No fun, not even a little bit.
I believe it is extremely instructive that McCoy & Joseph indorse the NSO! Haven’t heard any bitching this year about what’s expected of Buccanner Men. Here’s one ticket holder who is glad Greg Schiano is the head coach.
