Bucs running back Cadillac Williams says he is ready to play this Sunday after learning Earnest Graham likely will miss the rest of the year. Williams suffered a serious knee injury last season but is ready to resume playing this week after many thought he would never play football again. The Bucs play at Detroit this Sunday, and Williams has the chance to be Tampa Bay's backup running back behind Warrick Dunn. Clifton Smith could be the third option after he fumbled against Minnesota for the third consecutive game.

If it's not one thing it's another. First we've got thrity different quarterbacks, now the whole running corps are banged up. If Dunn starts this Sunday I don't see him lasting too long. I say we just throw all over the Lions and put the healthiest RB in there we have, even if he's from the damned practice squad. It's not worth exacerbating starting RB injuries in this game. Let Williams and Dunn take another week to heal up and put Smith or some other fool in there. If Smith fumbles again, just shoot him in the face.

Detroit needs to win a game at some point this season.

I'm a little concerned with Smith not fumbling and Caddy being a little gun shy...which leaves Dunn...who didn't impress me with 20 carries for only 53 yards. Hopefully it was because he was still in pain and not 100%. One thing I know for sure, if we don't start scoring when we get to the red zone, it's lights out for us...can't afford to do that against high powered offenses, regardless of what our defense is capable of.

This guy is a real talent, just has had injuries slow his progress as an NFL running back... I think he will have a breakout season next year be he stay healthy all year...
