Davin Joseph Out With Broken Foot

In the "that *beep* sucks!" department, Davin Joseph was reported to have had surgery to repair a broken foot. The exact nature of the break and the exact length of time he'll be out is unknown. The Times reported 4-8 weeks. Some doctor stated, on the radio, that it could be an "out for the year" type injury. In any case, it's clear that either Dan Buenning or Jeremy Zuttah will be starting at RG. Both are very capable, but I think Dan is the better player at this point in time. Buenning would likely represent very little drop off in the running game, and may be a slight improvement in pass protection. Zuttah would be a slight drop in both.

In each case, however, the Bucs have outstanding depth to cover the position, and the loss will hopefully not be noticeable (watching the game tape from the Pats game, Buenning wasn't a drop off at all). So we'll see what happens. Maybe Joseph will actually have to fight for his spot back because of the play of his replacement (a very real possibility).

Doesn't it just suck to have excellent depth?
