The moments shortly after a week one game are the perfect time for knee-jerk reactions, seeing as how we've been waiting for these games for months, and if the result we want isn't there, then certainly EVERYTHING IS AWFUL!
Case in point, the St. Petersburg Times' Stephen Holder's post game blog entry on Tampa Bay's 24-20 loss in New Orleans, and more specifically, Holder's thoughts on No. 1 wide receiver Joey Galloway.
What is up with Joey Galloway? He looks to me like a guy who doesn't want to be out there sometimes. Seeing how he is the Bucs' No. 1 receiver, that's a problem.
Indeed, that's a problem. And it's a problem that many of the readers noticed as well.
Seriously, I'd like to see Galloway released, he showed yesterday why he has never been a true #1 reciever. At least Clayton tries, and doesn't give up on routes.
Ouch. Galloway did catch six passes yesterday, but it seems to be the passes he didn't catch that's irking the masses. And it's never good to see anyone suggesting your No. 1 receiver be released in favor of a failed former first-rounder because "at least he tries and doesn't give up on his routes."
Of course, that's not even the worst part of it for the Bucs. According to Holder, the Buccaneers offensive line, and rookie guard Jeremy Zuttah in particular, struggled so much yesterday that he seriously pondered the thought of whether or not they might turn to Sean Mahan for relief.
It's enough to make you wonder if the Bucs will think about playing Sean Mahan, acquired in a trade last week with the Steelers, to play guard.Honestly, I don't think there's any chance Zuttah could have played that poorly in week one that you would consider benching him in favor of Mahan. At least not yet, anyway.
