"Coach wants to see you -- and bring your playbook"

A few poor souls will hear those dreaded words on Tuesday as the Bucs and the rest of the NFL trim rosters to 75 players.

Though most of these cuts will be players who were never expected to make the team, each player who is waived is one whose career will suddenly be in flux. Some will quit football altogether. But the overwhelming majority will keep chasing their dream, whether it be in the NFL, CFL or Europe. Some will find their way into some other team's camp, maybe a practice squad, but they will be the lucky ones.

On Saturday, it'll get even harder. That's when the NFL mandates that rosters be cut to 53 players in the final cut. The Bucs have some tough choices in front of them. Do they keep an extra tight end or an extra receiver? Do they need more depth at linebacker or fullback?

Now, here's your chance to be part of the blog: have a favorite borderline guy you're rooting for? Maybe you'd love to see Paris Warren on the regular season roster, or perhaps you like Antoine Cash's hustle. Click on the comment tab below and let us know.

Cory Davis will make this team.

Andre Hall should be suiting up for the Bucs, not Earnest Graham.

graham has had a great camp...i am rooting for warren. i think he will be a solid receiver for years to come

I would like to see Anthony Jones get a shot for the Bucs. He has been working out hard on the track by the football field, while the Bucs have been in training camp. He looks better than most of the running backs on the Bucs. He's a 4.3 guy in the 40 yard dash and weighs 210 pounds. He's going to make history I believe because he has the determination and desire to achieve his dream of walking out on the field with the Bucs. If you have any further questions you could contact Anthony Jones at 813-377-9735.
