Bucs Hope Johnson Comes Up Big

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers played perhaps the worst game of football in the history of the game this past Sunday. They managed to run only 36 offensive (pronounce it as you see fit) plays the entire game. The Giants, on the other hand, controlled the ball for over 43 minutes. The Bucs were 0 for 9 on third down conversions. Succinctly, it was every bit as bad as anything the Lions managed during their 19 straight games of futility.

The Bucs will need their Johnson to perform admirably to please all of their fans.

So, with Byron Leftwich unable to perform, the Bucs have turned their attention to second year quarterback, Josh Johnson. Johnson went 4 for 10 for 36 yards on Sunday. You might be thinking, that’s not a very impressive performance by Johnson, but it is by far the best effort these old Bucs have put forth in a while.

So, if the Bucs have any post-season aspirations, they’ve decided to trust Johnson to perform well enough to get them there.

Bucs coach, Raheem Morris said, “He’s got to be huge. We really need him to come on strong and just nail this new role we’re asking him to fill. Did I say role or hole? I meant role.”

So, best wishes to Johnson. The Bucs have everything riding on you.
