    On our way to the buccaneers game tonight. Hope to see James get some playing time.

      Ruffin had 1 total tackle and 2 QB hits last night against the Chiefs. The 2 QB hits are particularly impressive on a defensive unit that only had 4 all night!

        We were there. The hits were impressive- QB stayed on his knees for a few seconds before getting up. He was DB-teamed after that. He played the entire 4th qtr.

          We can only hope that he will get some true second team reps in the next game. Unfortunately getting 4th quarter reps has been "traditionally" reserved for those taking up snaps until the roster trim down. This past game will hopefully have turned some heads. He can do it, theres no question. He just needs his opportunity.

            According to thegame recap, brandon gilbeaux undrafted de from delaware hurt his knee and didn't return. That may be another break james needs.

              But ... what was the best part of your (short) trip to Florida?

                  My husband is a die hard Bucs fan. I hope Ruffin sticks with them!

And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."

                    Jeg is correct. Let's hope he can play his way into a practice team spot. I read where they liked him, so we'll see.

                      I saw earlier this week that James Ruffin was signed to the Cincinnati Bengals practice squad. Congrats James!

                              Did James get arrested? I thought that was a prerequisite to play for the Bengals. /joke

                              Congrats on getting another shot for next year.

                              BTW - James is rockin the double diamond look in his roster photo.
