Frank Robertson's Blog

Ok, I am a news anchor but have also worked in the sports department during my years here at FOX13.  So, I guess that entitles me blog a bit about the Bucs.  After watching last Sunday's convincing win over the Rams, I am more than impressed with the athletic ability, decision making and leadership qualities Jeff Garcia brings to Tampa Bay.

There were two plays that stick in my mind from last Sunday's game.  Both involved Michael Clayton.  The first was number 80 dropping a pass.  Then, he made a reception and fumbled it.  Fortunately,  Alex Smith was there to fall on it.  Garcia ran directly to Clayton and must have told him to keep his chin up.  From what I've read, however, his admonition was a little more colorful and animated than that.

I'm not the first to say it, but I wish our QB was 27 instead of 37.  Then again, perhaps he wouldn't have that "veteran" leadership he now clearly possesses. Let's just hope the offensive line can keep him healthy for a full season.
