Danny Gorrer Had A Nice Game
August 9th, 2013
There were not many good things to take away from this ugly Bucs loss to the Super Bowl champion Crows Thursday night, but one good thing was the play of Bucs cornerback Danny Gorrer.
A mere hours after Nine Lives Myron Lewis was (finally) dropped off at Tampa International Airport with a one-way ticket in his clutches, Gorrer showed why Lewis had (finally) run out of lives with the Bucs.
Gorrer had two passes defended, a tackle and an interception, showing that, yes, the Bucs do have some decent depth in the secondary.
Gorrer also was hurt slightly in the game, but it didn’t appear major. Joe spoke with Gorrer after the game and he was evasive and vague about his injury, not even going NHL on Joe with the troublesome “upper- and/or lower-body-injury” tag.
“It’s nothing too serious,” Gorrer said of whatever ailed him. “I will definetly be ready, hopefully, for New England. It’s preseason. We all want to be ready for Week One.”
As for his interception when Crows quarterback Joe Flacco tried to thread a needle between Leonard Johnson and Gorrer, it gave Gorrer a leg up in his wager with Johnson.
“We have a bet on who has the most picks and I am one up on him now,” Gorrer said. “I am looking forward to eating good off of him.”

I’m pretty sure it was a groin injury. Saw him clutch it a few times rolling on the ground.
He was pretty impressive tonight. He is 6’0 so his measurables should give him a slight advantage over Johnson. Look forward to seeing these guys battle it out in preseason.

Hey Joe. Who looked more like six flags? Flacco or Freeman, because Flacco got picked off by a 3rd string DB.

If you must know, Freeman.

Oh okay Joe..seeing how I was at the game too. I guess we see things differently.

Every single 3rd string DBs should be cut and sent packing!!! They made Taylor look like the second coming of Warren Moon!! Watched the entire game and after the 2nd string defense departed the game, the 3rd string DBs were atrocious! Tandy and Grimm should have followed Lewis out the door at One Buc Place

He was evasive about the injury because he got hit in the nuts. That’s a little embarrassing.

Oh relax. Maybe, just maybe, the reason why there back up QB looked so good was because we didnt prepare for the read option since it was just a pre-season game?
It may sound like a weak excuse but 3rd and 4th stringers with no practice against a certain type of offense leads to bad things.
Quit crying over a meaningless scrimmage.
