Brackins Is Back, Minor Correction To Lineup

First, it turns out there's something else Buccaneer-related I was correct about. Larry Brackins cleared waivers, and he's been signed to fill that mysterious opening on the practice squad. This was the rare shrewd move by Gruden and Co. - wait until everyone else has their rosters set and, and slip the kid under the radar.
In case it isn't readily apparent, I'm very high on this kid. He doesn't have elite speed, but in terms of size, leaping ability, and body control, he could be former Lion Herman Moore's baby brother. He needs a lot of work - he only played for two years in college, and that was JUCO - but come 2007, I wouldn't be surprised to see him starting and playing well.
The minor correction is just that - I had second year right guard Jeb Terry starting on Sunday, according to the team, it'll actually be third year guard/center Sean Mahan who gets the nod. Terry was dealing with minor injuries during the preseason, and Mahan started nearly half of last season at center last year, after John Wade was injured.
