"We haven't started looking at video from Carolina,Cheap Jerseys From China, yet. We won't give up a game just the see to put a player in a situation like that," the coach added.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Now that the sputtering Tampa Bay Buccaneers have officially been eliminated from postseason contention in the woeful NFC South, coach Lovie Smith may be ready to take another look at Mike Glennon to try to determine if the second-year pro is the team's quarterback of the future.
