A couple of spots still up for grabs. Backup RB, CB, LB, perhaps OL. Although on the OL, I think Maurice Hurt is going on waivers/IR because he has missed all of the preseason work and Nixon looks to be a practice squad candidate.

But I thought that by game 3 of pre-season the roster was set? No need for another game....

If you don't think the roster is *mostly* set by now, you're naive. If I can ever find that article with a direct quote from a personnel guru, I am going to love serving you your crow, El.

There are a few spots that could be WON tonight with an outrageous performance, but for the most part the final 53 is all locked up. The 4th preseason game is mostly an audition for other teams. Barring injury, of course.

EDIT: There are obviously exceptions to every rule, but why do so many players sit this game out? I mean, if their jobs are up for grabs, you'd think they'd need to play.

I hate the Buccaneers like I do our division opponents. I know preseason results don't matter, but I want these chumps HUMILIATED tonight.

HAIL.
