Your Favorite 53rd Man Returns

God love Matt McCoy. The Bucs just keep cutting him loose and then bringing him back like you did with your backup girlfriend in college. How jumpy do you think McCoy is at practice these days? He probably breaks out into a cold sweat whenever he smells Raheem Morris’s cologne.

Anyway, the Bucs brought McCoy back and promoted CB Derrick Roberson from the practice squad to fill the spots of Rod Wilson and the recently-IRed Will Allen. I’m assuming Roberson can play some safety because with Mike Mickens and Torrie Cox, the Bucs already had decent depth at corner.

Speaking of safeties, the team filled the practice squad hole with safety Emanuel Cook, who went undrafted out of South Carolina this year and spent time with the Jets. I remember Cook laying some guys out pretty good in college but getting burned on coverage. Here’s his highlight reel from 2008 if you care. But it’s the Gamecocks, so no one would blame you for clicking over to CNN or something instead.
