Why haven't the Bucs been more efficient in the redzone?  It's combination of things but can be easily rectified.  Lets the Bucs play makers make plays.  I talked to Quarterback Jeff Garcia about this today after their morning practice.  He concurred that you can't except wide receivers to be wide open on every play, especially inside the 20.  There come's a time when you have to trust in that receiver to make that catch.  We saw what Roy Williams did to the Bucs last Sunday.  When was the last time we saw a fade route by a Bucs wide out? 

     The Bucs redzone efficiency needs to improve, not only for this upcoming road game in Kansas City, but for the rest of this season.  Field goals will not cut it, but this is something we've talked about time and time again.

     I also spoke with Sabby Piscatelli, who will get the start against KC this week in place of the injured Jermaine Phillips.  Sabby says he's prepared for this start, in fact he was prepared some time ago.  He credited Jermaine for taking the time out to help him along when he needed it.  That's just the kind of player Phillips is, and the football team will be better because of his "team" philosophy.

    As far as this game being one of those "trap" games, (IE: Bucs taking the struggling Chiefs too lightly) that's quite doubtful.  All the Bucs have to do is go back to the Chiefs home game against Denver.  That will spell it out.  A given win for Denver turned into a loss for the Broncos.

    Finally, I thnk we're all a little puzzled why RB Michael Bennett has not seen the field.  He is to, but at the same time isn't complaining.  Hindsight is easy, but wouldn't it have been prudent to get Bennett in against Dallas when Warrick Dunn was clearly hampered by that pinched nerve in his back?  Just an observation.
