Bucs sign new longsnapper, release old one; Brian Price just fine?

Despite not making any mistakes as a snapper on Sunday and throughout the preseason, the Bucs have released longsnapper Christian Yount and signed longsnapper Scott Albrittonper Anwar Richardson. Veteran longsnapper Andrew Economos remains on the Physically Unable to Perform list after suffering an offseason Achilles injury, and is not eligible to return until Week six at the earliest.

Meanwhile, the Bucs signed linebacker Ross Homan to their practice squad while releasing linebacker Derrell Smith. The Bucs had been very complimentary of Smith during the preseason, so this move is pretty surprising. Homan was drafted in the sixth-round by the Vikings this year. 

In addition, the Bucs worked out a whole slew of prospects. According to the St. Petersburg Times, the Bucs worked out two nose tackles in Travis Ivey and Johnny Jones, center Jake Kirkpatrick, offensive tackles Chris Riley and Phil Trautwein and defensive tackle Jay Ross. None of them have any real NFL experience. 

Finally, the Tribune reports that Brian Price is just fine and was cramping up on Sunday. It's a bit odd that cramps lead to a 'day-to-day' injury classification, though. Whatever the case, it seems Price is ready to return to the field on Sunday. He looked pretty good against the Detroit Lions, so hopefully he can continue to progress throughout the season.

Price is probably day to day just because of the nature of his injury, and they are taking all precautions.

God for bid he re-injured it, he has worked real hard to get back on the field and it would be a shame to see that work go unrewarded.

Really great seeing Price out there.

It’s going to take time, but once we’re able to harness the talent of our D line, we’ll be very, very good. Right now, we’re a bit all over the place, though.

Glad to hear price's injury not to serious

Because he did play fairly good last sunday. It’s good that they are still looking at other players. I just wish that they would of went after the better players during free agency.

good for price

He has looked good when he has played, if I were morris I would be light on him this week, just to be precautionary, even if you have to sit him a week, because we have good depth, people aren’t too high on this young defensive line because they didn’t produce stats last week but I was at the game, and they looked good especially price, I’m really excited about the potential of this defensive line! Go bucs!

Feel sorry for the Vikings sunday (not really)

But blount is going to bludgeon them with anger.

Greg Olson does not endorse this plan.

In stead the Bucs will throw on every down and punt on 4th and 1 everytime.

BIUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!!!!!!
