LAST GAME RECAP
Tampa Bay 18, St. Louis 17 (Oct. 24, 2010) TAMPA – Tampa Bay’s defense shut out St. Louis in the second half, allowing the Buccaneers to come back from an 11-point deficit to win a close contest at home. After punting on their first possession, Tampa Bay stole the ball back following a DE Stylez G. White sack of Rams QB Sam Bradford that led to a fumble recovery by DE Kyle Moore at the St. Louis six-yard line. Penalties backed the Buccaneers to the St. Louis 34, but the team still put the first points on the board with a K Connor Barth field goal. The Rams responded immediately, tying the game at 3-3 with a score by K Josh Brown. Tampa Bay punted on their next possession, and St. Louis drove 80 yards to take the lead with a five-yard pass from Bradford to WR Danny Amendola. The Rams soon had the ball again after another Buccaneers punt, but were forced to settle for a field goal. However, an offsides penalty against CB Ronde Barber nullified the score and prolonged the drive, allowing TE Michael Hoomanawanui to put up another seven points for St. Louis on a twoyard pass from Bradford. Tampa Bay sustained their final drive of the first half with both a clutch 16-yard scramble by Freeman on a third down and an 18yard reception by WR Sammie Stroughter to set up

a second Barth field goal, bringing the score to 17-6 at the break. The Buccaneers defense persevered in the third quarter, holding the Rams to only one first down and forcing punts on both St. Louis possessions, while Tampa Bay scored field goals on each of its own drives, including a 53-yard score—Barth’s fourth career kick of greater than 50 yards. Down 17-12 with 4:45 left in the game, the Buccaneers took possession of the ball. Freeman went on to engineer an 81-yard drive that included a nine-yard pass to TE Kellen Winslow on fourth-and-three and a 20-yard strike to WR Mike Williams, setting up a one-yard touchdown grab by RB Carnell Williams to put the Buccaneers ahead 18-17 with 0:17 to go. An attempt for a two-point conversion was unsuccessful, but Tampa Bay stopped St. Louis’ lateral play attempt to seal the game and improve to a 4-2 record.

LAST MEETING
Tampa Bay 17, Arizona 10 (Nov. 4, 2007) TAMPA – Tampa Bay held the ball for 43:07, the highest time of possession for a regulation game in team history, and limited the Cardinals offense to 23 rushing yards, tied for the fifth-best single-game defensive effort in team history. Tampa Bay’s offense churned out 162 rushing yards, led by RB Earnest Graham’s 124 yards on 34 carries, marking his first career 100-yard effort. Arizona took a 3-0 lead on its first possession of the game, as K Neil Rackers hit a 47-yard FG. Tampa Bay responded on the ensuing possession, as QB Jeff Garcia hit WR Joey Galloway on a 37-yard TD pass for a 7-3 lead. It marked Galloway’s 28th career TD as a Buccaneer, good for fifth in team history. On the first play of the second quarter, rookie S Tanard Jackson intercepted QB Kurt Warner in Cardinals territory to set up K Matt Bryant’s 32yard FG and a 10-3 lead. Tampa Bay took the 10-3 lead into halftime, after forcing four consecutive three-and-outs by the Cardinals offense in the second quarter. The Buccaneers took the opening drive of the second half 64 yards to extend their lead to 17-3 on Graham’s two-yard TD run. Tampa Bay had an opportunity to put the game away, as it took possession with 8:46 remaining in the third quarter and drove 86 yards on 19 plays to the Arizona eight-yard line, draining 11:59 off the clock. However, a dropped pass in the end zone and a missed field goal allowed the Cardinals to take possession and pull within seven on a three-yard TD by RB Edgerrin James with 7:30 left in the game. Trailing 17-10, Arizona had two final possessions to attempt a comeback. The first, which began with 3:31 remaining, ended with a three-and-out. The Cardinals began their final drive with 2:39 left in the contest, but S Jermaine Phillips picked off Warner on the first play of the drive near midfield to preserve the win.

RAHEEM MORRIS
Raheem Morris is in his second season as head coach after being named the eighth head coach in team history on January 17, 2009. Morris is currently in his second stint with Tampa Bay, spending the 2007-08 seasons as the Buccaneers defensive backs coach after also serving on the Buccaneers defensive coaching staff from 20022005. In between stints in Tampa Bay, he spent 2006 as Kansas State’s defensive coordinator. Morris has quickly risen through the Buccaneers coaching ranks during his time with the team, serving as defensive quality control coach in 2002, defensive assistant in 2003 and assistant defensive backs coach from 2004-2005 before taking over as defensive backs coach in 2007. During his first stretch with the club, Morris worked closely with former Bucs defensive backs coach and current Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin in the development of one of the NFL’s top secondaries. Morris took over the defensive reins after the first 10 games of the 2009 season and dramatically improved the performance on that side of the ball. Prior to its 11th game, the team ranked 27th in overall defense (378.9 ypg), 32nd in rushing defense (168.9 ypg), 14th in pass defense (209.4 ypg) and 31st in scoring defense (29.4 ppg). In the final six weeks of the season under Morris’ direction, the team ranked 15th in overall defense (356.0 ypg), tied for 26th in rush defense (140.3 ypg), 12th in pass defense (204.0 ypg) and most impressively, ninth in scoring defense (17.7 ppg). The Buccaneers finished the year 10th overall in pass defense, marking the sixth time in seven seasons with Morris on the staff that the Buccaneers defense ranked in the Top 10 in pass defense. Morris led the Buccaneers to two wins in the final three contests of the 2009 campaign, including a 20-17 upset victory over the eventual Super Bowl

| Tampa Bay at Arizona

Champion New Orleans Saints at the Superdome on December 27. Trailing 17-0 in the second quarter, Tampa Bay scored 20 unanswered points to win in overtime. The 17-point comeback tied for the second-largest comeback in team history and it also marked the first time in NFL history that a team that was 10 or more games below .500 defeated a team that was 10 or more games above .500. Morris has helped shape one of the NFL’s best defenses over the past decade. Since 1996, the Buccaneers defense has produced 36 Pro Bowlers, the secondmost in the NFL, and finished as the NFL’s top-ranked defense twice (2002 and 2005). The past 14 seasons have also seen the Buccaneers defense rank in the Top 10 on 11 occasions and in the Top 5 eight times. During his seven seasons in Tampa Bay, the Bucs have finished ranked in the Top 5 in the NFL in total defense five times, including No. 1 rankings in 2002 and 2005. Additionally, the defense finished as the top-ranked pass defense on three occasions (2002, 2004 and 2007) and sixth or better in six of seven seasons with Morris on the staff. In 2002, his first season as a coach in the NFL, Morris helped guide the Buccaneers top-ranked defense as they captured the franchise’s first world title in Super Bowl XXXVII. In Morris’ final season as the defensive backs coach in 2008, Tampa Bay’s defense finished the year ranked fourth in the NFL against the pass. At the time, it marked the fifth time in six seasons with Morris on the staff that the Buccaneers defense ranked in the Top 5 in pass defense. After Tampa Bay fell to 19th in the NFL in pass defense in 2006, Morris led a resurgence during his return in 2007, as he guided the Buccaneers pass defense to the league’s top ranking en route to the NFC South division title. The Buccaneers secondary helped limit opposing quarterbacks to a 76.2 rating in 2007, ranking eighth in the NFL after previously ranking 29th in 2006. In his lone season with Kansas State in 2006, Morris coordinated a defense that displayed improvement in several statistical categories from the previous season, including total defense, scoring defense and pass defense. Morris oversaw a Wildcat defense that included seven players who received conference recognition, including two first-team All-Big 12 honorees and one second-team selection. Morris joined Tampa Bay after spending the 2000 and 2001 seasons as defensive backs coach at Hofstra University. He also spent time in the fall of 2001 with the New York Jets, serving a defensive minority internship.

Morris began his collegiate coaching career as a graduate assistant coach at Hofstra in 1998, where he was responsible for coaching the offensive scout team, developing scouting reports and handling video breakdown and computer input and analysis. He then landed at Cornell University as defensive backs coach and special teams assistant for the 1999 season. Morris played collegiately as a safety at Hofstra from 1994-1997, and received his bachelor of science degree in physical education. Morris, who hails from Irvington, New Jersey, was presented the Key to the City in his hometown during “Raheem Morris Day” on June 5, 2009.

KEN WHISENHUNT
Ken Whisenhunt was named the 36th head coach in Cardinals history on January 14, 2007 when he signed a four-year contract with a team option for a fifth. Whisenhunt is just the second Cardinals head coach to go .500 or better in each of his first two seasons; the other was Arnie Horween in 1923 (8-4) and ‘24 (5-4-1). After a solid inaugural campaign as head coach in 2007, Whisenhunt’s second one resulted in the most successful season in team history. The Cardinals secured the franchise’s first postseason appearance since 1998 with a 9-7 mark, first division crown since ’75 thanks to a 6-0 record within the NFC West, and first home playoff game since 1947. That of course led to Arizona’s firstever conference title and Super Bowl appearance. Arizona’s 12 total wins in ’08 were the most in team history and the Cardinals won more postseason contests in January (3) than they had in their entire history (2). Whisenhunt came to the Cardinals with 10 years of experience as an NFL assistant coach and also played nine seasons in the league as a tight end and H-Back. Immediately before coming to Arizona, Whisenhunt served six seasons as an assistant on Bill Cowher’s staff with the Pittsburgh Steelers. After three years as tight ends coach, he spent the 2005-07 seasons as Pittsburgh’s offensive coordinator and helped the team to a victory over Seattle in Super Bowl XL.

Whisenhunt took over as Pittsburgh’s offensive coordinator in 2004 when Mike Mularkey became head coach of the Bills. That was the same year the team drafted Roethlisberger and the rookie QB went on to set an NFL record with wins in his first 13 career starts en route to Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. The next season he became the youngest QB in NFL history to win a Super Bowl and finished third in the league in passer rating (98.6). Whisenhunt joined the Steelers in January of 2001 as tight ends coach when Mularkey was elevated from that position to offensive coordinator. He previously coached at the pro level with the New York Jets (tight ends, 2000), Cleveland Browns (special teams, 1999) and Baltimore Ravens (tight ends, 1997-98). He began his coaching career in the collegiate ranks with Vanderbilt for two seasons (1995-96). Before his coaching career, Whisenhunt was drafted in the 12th round of the 1985 NFL Draft by Atlanta out of Georgia Tech. He went on to play nine NFL seasons with the Falcons (1985-88), Redskins (1989-90), and Jets (1991-93). In 74 career games (37 starts), he caught 62 passes for 601 yards and six touchdowns. After going to Georgia Tech as a walk-on, he finished his college playing career ranked second on the Yellow Jackets’ receiving yardage list (1,264 yards) and fourth in career receptions (82). He was a consensus All-ACC and honorable mention All-America selection as a senior in 1984 when he averaged 19.1 yards-per-catch. Born February 28, 1962 in Atlanta, GA, Whisenhunt was raised in Augusta and is a graduate of Richmond Academy. He earned a degree in civil engineering from Georgia Tech.

This season, Buccaneers second-year head coach Raheem Morris is enhancing his “Be the Ultimate Character Student” (BUCS) program. The program is an initiative designed to teach students lessons on education and athletics as they relate to leadership, determination and character. Throughout the regular season, students from Hillsborough and Pinellas counties are recorded asking Morris’ opinion on a variety of on-and off-the-field topics. The participating students, who are selected by school district officials based on academic effort and achievement, will then attend the Buccaneers home game as Morris’ special guests in his “Raheem’s Dreams” ticket program. On the Monday following each home game, Morris will answer the students’ questions via podcast, utilizing his own coaching experiences to relate messages about perseverance, integrity, commitment and, ultimately, the importance of making the most of one’s educational opportunities. That week, the video podcasts are aired in middle and high schools in Hillsborough and Pinellas County School Districts and on Buccaneers.com, featuring the students’ questions as well as Morris’ answers. Teachers are encouraged to display the podcast on the monitors in their classrooms and work Morris’ message into their day’s curriculum. On the weeks during the Buccaneers’ away games, schools work on their own character education curriculum, which will be reinforced by Coach Morris’ character-building message. Morris knows the importance of education: “Growing up as a young man, education was so much more important in my parents’ eyes than sports was, and that was a big part of who I am today,” said Morris, who wasn’t allowed to participate in varsity sports until he had improved his grades to the level set by his father. “We want these kids to have the ability to realize their full potential as students and be committed to it. I think it’s a great opportunity to reach them and we’re really fired up about it.”

YOUTH AT THE HELM
The Buccaneers decision to tap Raheem Morris as the eighth head coach in franchise history fit in with a league-wide hiring theme in 2009. Morris, now 34, was the youngest of those hired last year when he was 32 years old and remains the youngest coach in the league. Morris, in fact, became the fourth-youngest individual hired to coach an NFL team since World War II. He is one of four head coaches currently in the league who have yet to celebrate their 40th birthdays, joining Denver’s Josh McDaniels (34), Pittsburgh’s Mike Tomlin (38) and Cleveland’s Eric Mangini (39).

After struggling defensively for the first 10 games of the 2009 season, Head Coach Raheem Morris took over the defensive reins and improved the performance on that side of the ball dramatically. In 2009, Prior to its 11th game, the team ranked 27th in overall defense (378.9 ypg), 32nd in rushing defense (168.9 ypg), 14th in pass defense (209.4 ypg) and 31st in scoring defense (29.4 ppg).

Below is a look at some statistical highlights from the 2010 season. Cleveland (9/12) • The Morris-led Buccaneers earned a 17-14 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 1 with Morris’ defense holding the Browns to 340 yards of total offense, 104 yards rushing while forcing three turnovers. • After giving up 13 first downs to start the game, the Buccaneers defense tightened with 11 minutes left in the third quarter, and allowed only two first downs for the remainder of the game • The Buccaneers held the Browns without a first down for a span of 24:06 from the 11 minute mark in the third quarter to the 1:54 mark in the fourth quarter. at Carolina (9/19) • Forced three turnovers, marking first time since 2008 the Buccaneers had back-to-back games forcing three or more turnovers. • After allowing Panther running backs DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart to combine for 683 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on 107 carries in the previous three meetings, the Buccaneers held the dynamic duo to just 97 yards and no touchdowns on 25 carries. • For the second straight week, the team did not allow a point in the second half. They are now the only team in the league to not allow a point in the second half this season. at Cincinnati (10/10) • Forced four turnovers, three leading to points, including one interception returned for a touchdown. • Third time forcing three or more turnovers in a game this season, all leading to wins. • Held Bengals QB Carson Palmer to a 58.7 passer rating after picking him off three times.

For many years, Tampa Bay has continued its longstanding relationship with the Bill Walsh NFL Minority Fellowship Program. The Buccaneers have enjoyed repeated success working with the NFL, both with participants in the program and hiring graduates of the NFL program. Established in 1987, the Bill Walsh NFL Minority Coaching Fellowship provides NFL training camp positions to minority coaches every year. The program, which was named after the man who conceived the idea – late Pro Football Hall of Fame head coach Bill Walsh – exposes talented minority college coaches to the methods and philosophies of summer NFL training camps. Walsh introduced the concept to the league in 1987, when he brought a group of minority coaches into his San Francisco 49ers’ training camp. As a part of Training Camp coaching staffs, the fellowship coaches perform duties that mirror those of full-time NFL assistant coaches. They become working members of NFL staffs for the summer and are responsible for specific assignments, including planning and directing workouts, formulating scrimmage and preseason game strategies, breaking down videotape, and evaluating players. Nearly 1,500 coaches have worked in the Training Camps of NFL teams since the program’s inception in 1987. One such success story of the program is the Buccaneers own Head Coach Raheem Morris. Morris is one of four current NFL head coaches and just the fifth graduate overall of the program to be named an NFL head coach, joining Herm Edwards (former New York Jets and Kansas City Chiefs head coach), Marvin Lewis (Cincinnati Bengals), Lovie Smith (Chicago Bears) and Mike Tomlin (Pittsburgh Steelers). Morris interned with the New York Jets in 2001, while he was the defensive backs coach at Hofstra University. Morris enters his eighth season with the Buccaneers and second as Head Coach after re-joining the team following a stint as defensive coordinator at Kansas State University in 2006. Morris, who was a defensive intern with the N.Y. Jets in 2001, as part of the NFL’s Minority Coaching Fellowship program, then spent his first four seasons with the Buccaneers as defensive quality control coach (2002), defensive assistant (2003) and assistant defensive backs coach (2004-05). “It was a great opportunity to get in, to get involved with people who were in the NFL world, to establish

myself and establish some of the relationships with the people that I met with the Jets,” says Morris. “If you’re willing to learn, become a sponge, it’s awesome.

In June 2010, he also served as the spokesman for the Children’s Home Society campaign “Let’s Tackle This” to increase the number of foster parents in Tampa Bay. As General Manager, he has made over 40 appearances in the Tampa Bay community, including participating in the “Fashion Funds the Cure” fashion show in 2009 and 2010 benefitting the Pediatric Cancer Foundation. Morris, meanwhile, has focused his community efforts on education and promoting the importance of academics amongst Bay area youth. Along with his “Be the Ultimate Character Student” (BUCS) initiative, an interactive program where local students ask him questions about leadership and character via podcast, Morris has routinely visited schools to help instill the importance of academics and education in local youth. In 2010, he dedicated the first “Buccaneers Play 60 Zone” at the LaVoy Exceptional Center in Tampa to provide a new court cover and athletic equipment for students with physical and intellectual disabilities. He also held a surprise assembly at Sulphur Springs Elementary School to congratulate students on raising their reading level from an “F” grade to a “B”, the highest increase in the state of Florida. In March 2010, Morris presented “Bucs for Books” scholarships to five student-athletes attending Hillsborough County Title 1 high schools to help cover the cost of books for their four years of college, and, in May, he again presented 10 local students with scholarships totaling $10,000 to assist with need-based funding for college. The scholarship was created to assist students accepted by a college or technical center in need of additional financial assistance for entrance into college.

Since their hires on January 17, Manager Mark Dominik and Head Morris have set out to build a team field, but off of it in the community, 2009, General Coach Raheem not only on the as well.

A proud supporter of the United States military, General Manager Mark Dominik is an auxiliary member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4321 and sponsored and has participated in a golf tournament at MacDill Air Force Base to aid in the renovation project for Post 4321 headquarters. He has also established a close relationship with the James A. Haley Veterans’ Hospital, where he regularly visits wounded warriors and volunteers with their “Helping Hands” program. Dominik also initiated “Operation: Welcome Home,” a Veterans Day program that helped renovate the house of Lt. Brian Brennan, an active-duty soldier who was wounded in Afghanistan and suffered injuries that made daily living difficult and unsafe in his Tampa home. During the 2009 season, Dominik sponsored “Dominik’s Den,” a ticket program that provided a special gameday experience for military servicemen

and appearances in his tenure as head coach, helping to raise funds and awareness for cancer research, heart disease, and youth athletics, among others. He actively supports the charitable efforts and player foundations of current and former Buccaneers, and regularly volunteers for team community relations events and initiatives throughout the year.

CARDIAC KIDS
The Buccaneers also reversed their fortunes in Week 1 against Cleveland (9/12), by winning after trailing, 14-3. From 2005-09, Tampa Bay was 11-24 when the opposition scored first, as Cleveland did in Week 1. In 2010, the team is now 2-1 when the opposing team scores first, with three fourth-quarter comefrom-behind victories. In fact, the Buccaneers had gone almost a decade since winning a game in which they had trailed by 10 or more points. The drought ended in Chicago on September 21, 2008, when Tampa Bay rallied from a 24-14 deficit to win in overtime, 27-24. Stunningly, that sort of rally has now become almost commonplace for Tampa Bay, even as the team’s roster has become steadily younger. Apparently, the Bucs’ newcomers are comeback kids, because there have been no fewer than seven games since 2008 in which the Buccaneers have rallied from a double-digit deficit to get the win, ranking as the most in the NFL over that time. Before 2008, the last time the team had come back from double-digits to win a game was December 12, 1998, against Detroit, when the team came-back from a 10-0 deficit to win, 23-16. In Week 7 against St. Louis, the Buccaneers continued their resilient ways, recording their second doubledigit comeback win of the season, after trailing 17-3.

SIGN OF THINGS TO COME
With the team’s 17-14 win over Cleveland in Week 1, the Buccaneers earned their first opening day win since 2005. The team had historically struggled on opening day, as it also marked the very first opening day win at Raymond James Stadium and the first opening day win at home since 1997, when the team defeated the San Francisco 49ers 13-6 at Houlihan’s Stadium. The Buccaneers are now 14-21 overall on opening day and 6-10 at home on opening day. The Buccaneers hope that the opening day win is a sign of things to come. Since 1997, when the Buccaneers win on opening day, they have gone on to finish with a winning record four times, with all four winning seasons resulting in playoff appearances.

The Buccaneers continued their early success in Week 2 at Carolina (9/19). With their 20-7 win over the Panthers, the Buccaneers went to 2-0 for the first time since 2005 and the seventh time overall. Since 1997, the Buccaneers have now started 2-0 four times, with all three previous times resulting in a winning season and a trip to the playoffs. Since 1990, team’s that have started 2-0 have made the playoffs 64.1 percent of the time (107 of 167). Since the start of NFC South division play in 2002, the Buccaneers are now 4-5 against the Panthers when playing in Carolina. Historically, the Buccaneers/ Panthers matchup in Carolina has been an indicator of the Buccaneers’ seasonal success. In each of the three previous times the team has won in Carolina, the Buccaneers have gone on to have winning seasons and playoff berths.

Stockpiling young talent has been a priority for the Buccaneers over the past two offseasons. The dramatic reshaping of the roster has allowed the Buccaneers to focus on developing the young talent on their roster, through game experience, while keeping one eye on the future. Entering Week 8 the Buccaneers 53-man roster features 23 players in their rookie, first or second years in the NFL, accounting for over one-third of the Tampa Bay active roster. The team also has an additional nine third-year players. With their strong presence of rookie and second year players, the Buccaneers rank as the second-youngest roster in the league, behind Carolina.

RISING TO THE TOP
The 2010 Buccaneers hope to continue an NFL trend by going from “worst-to-first” in their division. For the past seven consecutive seasons – an NFL record – at least one team has won its division the season after finishing last. More impressively, out of the 32 teams in the NFL annals to go from worst-to-first, 15 of them have done so in the past 10 years (2000-09), including an NFL-record three such clubs in 2006. The NFC South certainly is the gold standard when it comes to going from worst-to-first. Since realignment in 2002, the NFC South has had its last place team finish first in every season except 2008, when the Atlanta Falcons went from worst in the division to second place behind the Carolina Panthers. The Buccaneers have accomplished the feat twice since 2002, by winning the division in 2005 and 2007 after finishing last the year previous. Last season, the NFC South was represented by the New Orleans Saints, who made the worst-to-first turnaround all the way to a Super Bowl victory. The Saints, whose 8-8 record saw them finish last in the NFC South in 2008, improved by five wins in 2009 en route to a 13-3 record, a division title and a world championship.

UNDRAFTED ≠ UNWANTED
When it comes to finding value the Buccaneers have had a knack at knowing where to look. Tampa Bay is currently home to 20 players who originally entered the league as undrafted rookie free agents and have totaled 424 games played, including 166 starts among them. The group includes major contributors, such as K Connor Barth, RB Earnest Graham, LS Andrew Economos, CB Elbert Mack, T Donald Penn, WR Micheal Spurlock and G Keydrick Vincent. The team also has another seven undrafted players on their practice squad.

The Buccaneers can also be encouraged by the fact that for the past 14 consecutive seasons, at least five teams (out of 12) were able to make the playoffs a year after they were not in postseason play. Last season, six teams – Cincinnati, Dallas, Green Bay, New England, New Orleans and the N.Y. Jets – made the playoffs after missing the playoffs the season prior.

STRENGTH OF THE SOUTH
Over the previous eight seasons, one could argue that the toughest division in the NFL is the NFC South. Since realignment in 2002, the NFC South is one of two divisions in the NFC and is one of only three divisions in the NFL to have every team earn a division championship. The NFC West and the AFC West are the only other divisions to have all four teams earn a division championship since realignment. The NFC South has also been represented a league-best six times in a Conference Championship Game, one better than the NFC East, and tied for a league best three times in the Super Bowl along with the AFC East. They have also sent the most different teams to the Super Bowl of any division, sending three different teams (Tampa Bay, Carolina, New Orleans) and have the most different teams to win a Super Bowl, two (Tampa Bay, New Orleans), since 2002. The NFC South has been led by the Buccaneers, who have won three division crowns in eight years.

In 2008, the NFC South again showed its overall strength, as it finished as one of only three divisions in the league to have three of its four teams with a record of 9-7 or better (also AFC East and NFC East) and is one of two divisions to have all of its teams at 8-8 or better (also NFC East). The NFC South also finished with a remarkable 27-5 overall home record in 2008, the best combined home winning percentage by a division in NFL history (.844), with the next best division last season, the NFC East, holding an 23-9 record at home.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers added a big target to their offense in 2009 when they acquired TE Kellen Winslow from the Cleveland Browns. Winslow, the son of San Diego Chargers Hall of Fame TE Kellen Winslow, went on to have a record-breaking season in 2009 for the Buccaneers, showing he is one of the most dangerous tight end receiving threats in the league. 2010 Highlights: • First on team in receptions (29) and second on team in receiving yards (301). • Ranks tied for third in the NFL in third down receiving with 14 receptions. 2010 NFL THIRD-DOWN RECEIVING Rank 1. 2. 3. 3. 3.

THE FREEMAN FILES
With a full offseason knowing he is the team’s starting quarterback, Buccaneers QB Josh Freeman has gladly taken on a leadership role after a promising rookie season. Through the first 15 starts in his career, Freeman has a 7-8 record, including a 6-3 record over his last nine starts and four consecutive road wins. Never one to fear a deficit, five of his seven career victories have been fourth quarter comeback wins, including three this season.

scramble, the longest of his career. It was also the longest run by a Buccaneers quarterback since a 48-yard touchdown run by Vinny Testaverde against the Minnesota Vikings (12/16/90). In Week 2 at Carolina (9/19), completed 12-of-24 passes for 178 yards and two touchdowns for a 102.4 passer rating. Also added 43 yards rushing on four carries. It was the fifth two-touchdown passing performance of his career, as he became the first Buccaneers quarterback to have backto-back games with two or more touchdowns passes since Bruce Gradkowski in 2006. In Week 5 at Cincinnati (10/10), earned NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors after leading the Buccaneers to 10 points in the final 1:26 of the game en route to a 24-21 fourth-quarter comeback victory. He finished the game 20-of33 passing for 280 yards, the second-most in his career, one touchdown and one interception for an 85.4 quarterback rating. His touchdown pass was a 20-yard strike to WR Mike Williams to tie the game with 1:26 left. Freeman later connected with WR Micheal Spurlock, setting up the game winning field goal with five seconds left in the game. At 22 years old, became the youngest Buccaneer to win a Player of the Week Award since 22-year old WR Jacquez Green earned Special Teams Player of the Week in Week 2 of the 1998 season. RB Warrick Dunn (Offense, Week 2, 1997) and Santana Dotson (Defense, Week 4, 1992) were the only other 22-year olds in team history to earn the award. This marks the 16th time and the first since Week 9 in 2004 (RB Michael Pittman) that a Buccaneer has been named NFC Offensive Player of the Week. In Week 6 against New Orleans (10/17), completed 25-of-43 passes for 219 yards and one touchdown for a 79.5 QB rating. In Week 7 against St. Louis (10/24), led the team on an 16-play, 81-yard fourth quarter drive that culminated in a one-yard touchdown pass to RB Carnell Williams and a 18-17 win, the fifth fourthquarter comeback win of his career. Freeman finished 23-of-40 passing for 212 yards and a game-winning touchdown pass.

an interception on a third down play. His legs have been just as productive on third downs, as nine of Freeman’s 23 runs this year have come on third down, with six of them resulting in first downs. Six of those nine scrambles have come on third-and-nine or longer. In just five games, Freeman has already converted two third-and-11s, two third-and-fours, a third-and-nine and a third-and-16 by running. 2010 NFC THIRD DOWN PASSING LEADERS Rank 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

RECEIVING AT TENTION
In this year’s draft, 12 wide receivers were taken ahead of 2010 fourth-round draft pick (101st overall) WR Mike Williams. Though Williams wasn’t drafted highly, his talent and production on the field is leading experts to consider him as a rookie standout and the possible “steal of the draft.” Through his first six games as a pro, Williams has already been up for NFL Rookie of the Week three times. Among rookie receivers, Williams is currently first in receptions (28), first in receiving yards (365) and tied for first in receiving touchdowns (3). 2010 NFL LEADERS IN RECEPTIONS AMONG ROOKIE RECEIVERS Rank 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 5.

WR Micheal Spurlock may not have played in many games for the Buccaneers, but he already has recorded two of the biggest returns in team history. On December 16, 2007, Spurlock made history and helped to start a strong special teams movement, when he raced 90 yards on a kickoff return for a touchdown, becoming the first player in franchise history to record such a feat. It happened on the franchise’s 1,865th kickoff return in the regular season. Since that return, the Buccaneers have had two other players return a kickoff for a touchdown.

Last season, with the Buccaneers trailing 17-10 in the fourth quarter at New Orleans in Week 16 (12/27), Spurlock came through with his second big return for the Buccaneers, this time taking a punt 77 yards for a touchdown, the fifth-longest in team history. The return tied the game and helped the team to an upset overtime victory over the eventual Super Bowl champion Saints. More impressively, Spurlock was signed five days prior to the game, with both previous return men RB Clifton Smith and WR Sammie Stroughter being on Injured Reserve. For his efforts, Spurlock earned Special Teams Player of the Week honors for Week 16. Spurlock is one of just two players in team history to record both a kickoff and punt return for touchdowns, joining Smith. LONGEST PUNT RETURNS (Team History) Player 1. Jacquez Green 2.

In just his second game with the Buccaneers last season, K Connor Barth tied an NFL record and set a Buccaneers record after recording three field goals of 50 or more yards at Miami (11/15) in Week 10. He became the first kicker in team history and just the fourth in NFL history to make three 50-plus field goals in one game, when he connected on 50, 51 and a career-long 54-yard field goal. The 54-yard field goal also tied for the fifth-longest field goal in team history. Barth also became just the second kicker in club history, to make two 50-plus yard field goals in a single game, marking just the fifth time in team history and first since Martin Gramatica on October 27, 2002 at Carolina (53-yard and 52-yard field goals).

Proving he isn’t just a special teamer, Spurlock made a major contribution to the Buccaneers season opening win against Cleveland (9/12). In the fourth quarter, he recorded his first career receiving touchdown on a 33-yard strike, giving the Buccaneers a 17-14 victory. With the touchdown reception, Spurlock became the first player in Buccaneers history to score a touchdown off a kickoff return, punt return and pass reception. He finished the game with a team-high 49 receiving yards on two receptions. In Week 2 at Carolina (9/19), Spurlock got his first career start. After fumbling a kick return at the end of the third quarter that led to a Bengals touchdown in Week 5 at Cincinnati (10/10), Spurlock redeemed himself, hauling in a 21-yard reception on the sideline, as he dragged his toes to set up the game-winning field goal. He finished with three receptions for 35 yards. In Week 6 against New Orleans, recorded his second receiving touchdown of the season and his career on a two-yard touchdown pass, capping off a 14-play 88-yard drive, and giving the Buccaneers their first points of the day.

WORTH THE PICK
Joining the Buccaneers with the lofty expectations that accompany the highest cornerback ever selected in the NFL Draft by the team (20th overall in 2008), CB Aqib Talib lived up to the hype in his rookie season and continued to have success in his first year as a full time starter last season. In 2009, Talib finished tied for the most interceptions on the team and tied for the 12th most in the NFL with five. Through six games this season, Talib leads the team and is tied for sixth in the NFL with three interceptions. 2010 BUCCANEERS INTERCEPTION LEADERS Rank 1. 2. 2. 4. 4. 4.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN
After two devastating knee injuries, RB Carnell “Cadillac” Williams is back and looking to make up for lost games. Below is a look at Williams 2010 season: • In Week 1 vs. Cleveland (9/12), finished with 98 yards of total offense carrying the ball 22 times for 75 yards while recording two receptions for 23 yards. • In Week 2 at Carolina (9/19), moved past Michael Pittman (3,364 from 2002-07) for fourth on the Buccaneers all-time rushing yards list. • In Week 6 against New Orleans (10/17), tied for a team-high seven receptions for another teamhigh 63 yards receiving. • In Week 7 against St. Louis (10/24), led the team with eight receptions for 34 yards, including a one-yard game-winning touchdown reception. It was the third time this season that Williams has led or tied for the lead in receptions this year, and it was also the most receptions by a player in a single game this season for the Buccaneers. Williams has continued to climb the Buccaneers record book currently ranking in the top 10 in touchdowns, rushing yards and rushing attempts in team history.

As many doubted his return to the playing field after sustaining a season-ending knee injury in Carolina (9/30) in 2007, Williams kept working and hoping to once again return to the field on which he had been so successful. After spending the first nine weeks of the 2008 season on the Physically Unable to Perform list, that hard work paid off when he appeared in his first game in nearly 14 months, carrying the ball 16 times at Detroit (11/23) in Week 12. Unfortunately for Williams, after completing a 28-yard run, his longest run of the season in the 2008 season finale against Oakland, he tore the patellar tendon in his other knee. Williams once again dedicated himself to making it back to the game, and while some predicted he wouldn’t make it back, he succeeded through a grueling offseason of rehabilitation. For his hard

work, Williams finished second in the voting for the Associated Press 2009 Comeback Player of the Year and was named the team’s recipient of the Ed Block Courage Award after leading the team in rushing with 823 yards and four touchdowns on 211 carries. He also finished fourth on the team with 28 receptions, second-most in his career, for a career-high 217 yards and third on the team with career-high three receiving touchdowns.

tions for 2,221 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. The 2,221 receiving yards are good for sixth in school history. He became the first Illini receiver to amass 1,000 yards receiving in a season, as his 1,669 all-purpose yards as a sophomore ranked second in school history. Benn finished his career at Illinois with 3,613 career all-purpose yards, fourth in Illini history, as Benn caught at least one pass in 35 of 36 games played. CB Myron Lewis was selected in third round (67th overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Buccaneers. Lewis became the highest drafted Vanderbilt defensive back since Fred Vinson was selected in the second round (47th overall) in 1999 by Green Bay. In his 46 career games with 36 consecutive starts at Vanderbilt, Lewis totaled 170 tackles, including 5.0 sacks, 10.5 TFL, 26 passes defensed, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and 10 interceptions. His 10 interceptions are good for ninth in Vanderbilt’s all-time records. He earned second-team All-SEC honors as voted on by league coaches and the Associated Press in 2009. WR Mike Williams was selected in the fourth round (101st overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Buccaneers. At Syracuse, Williams appeared in 29 games while making 22 starts, during which time he racked up 133 receptions for 2,044 yards and 20 touchdowns. His 133 receptions rank fourth and his 2,044 yards are good for fifth all-time in Syracuse history. His 20 touchdown receptions tie him with Marvin Harrison for second in school history behind Robe Moore’s 22 scoring receptions. Williams tallied up a receiving yards per game average of 118.7 in 2009, good for first in the Big East and fifth nationwide. Williams had a stretch of 27 consecutive games with at least one reception to rank fourth in Orange history. S Cody Grimm was selected in the seventh round (210th overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Buccaneers. Grimm, the son of legendary NFL coach and Hall of Fame Player, Russ Grimm, played in 54 games at Virginia Tech and racked up 214 tackles, 26.5 tackles, 26.5 TFLs, 11.5 sacks, nine forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and two interceptions. A former walk-on, Grimm tied the NCAA FBS record with three forced fumbles in a game against NC State. Grimm tied for first nationally with seven forced fumbles as a senior on the way to third-team All-American and first-team All-ACC honors.

2010 NFL DRAFT
The Buccaneers made nine selections in the 2010 NFL Draft with eight of the nine on the team’s active roster and one on the practice squad. Below is a look at the new members of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. DT Gerald McCoy was selected in the first round (third overall) of the 2010 NFL draft by the Buccaneers. McCoy was the highest-drafted interior lineman by the Buccaneers since Warren Sapp was selected 12th overall in 1995. He’s also the third player from the University of Oklahoma to be selected by the Buccaneers in the first round, joining DE Lee Roy Selmon (first overall in 1976) and G Davin Joseph (23rd overall in 2006). McCoy was the second of three Sooners drafted in the first four picks of the 2010 NFL Draft, marking the first time in NFL history that one college had three players selected among the first four picks. He earned All-American firstteam honors from Walter Camp, the Football Writers Association and Sporting News and was a consensus All-Big 12 first-team selection. McCoy started all 40 straight games during his time at OU and racked up 83 tackles, including 14.5 sacks, 33 TFLs and 21 quarterback pressures. DT Brian Price was selected in the second round (35th overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Buccaneers. Price appeared in 35 games at UCLA, including a stretch of 28 straight starts. Price is the eighth defensive tackle selected by the Buccaneers in the past 11 seasons. His career totals include 97 tackles, 12.5 sacks, 44.5 TFLs, five forced fumbles, one interception and three passes defensed. His 44.5 TFLS rank second in UCLA history. In 2009, Price ranked third in the country with 23.5 TFLs, which is also good for eight-most in Pac-10 history. Price selected the Pac-10 Conference Pat Tillman Defensive Player of Year and first-team All Pac-10 in 2009. WR Arrelious Benn was selected in the second round (39th overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Buccaneers. Benn played three seasons at Illinois, starting 35 of the 37 games he appeared in. A twotime captain for the Illini, Benn recorded 159 recep-

les with 11.5 sacks, 32.5 TFLs, 10 passes defensed, three fumble recoveries, two interceptions and one safety. His 32.5 TFLs are good for eighth in school history, as he has also blocked three kicks. A team captain as a senior, Watson was named second-team All-ACC in 2009. FB/TE Erik Lorig, was selected in the seventh round (253rd overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Buccaneers. A fifth-year senior from Stanford, Lorig made the switch from tight end to defensive end in 2007, where he started 25-of-29 games over the last three seasons. Lorig finished his career with the Cardinal with 95 tackles, 16.5 TFLs and 4.5 sacks. A team co-captain, Lorig made eight starts in first season as a defensive end, finishing fifth on the team with 7.5 TFLs.

PEWTER IN PINK
In continuing their support for the fight against Breast Cancer, the Buccaneers designated their October 17 home game against the New Orleans Saints as their Breast Cancer Awareness Game. In Week 5 at Cincinnati (10/10/10), the Buccaneers helped the NFL kick off the “A Crucial Catch” Campaign to help support breast cancer awareness month. During the month of October, Buccaneers players and coaches will wear pink game apparel to raise awareness for the campaign and help support the fight against breast cancer. On October 2, linebacker Adam Hayward served as the Honorary Chair for the 2010 Florida Suncoast Komen Race for the Cure in downtown St. Petersburg. Hayward, who lost his mother to breast cancer in 2004, is an active spokesman for the cause and serves as a local ambassador to help raise funds and awareness for breast cancer research. On October 12, Hayward hosted a private tour of the Buccaneers’ training facility for the leading fundraising team from the October 2 race. That same day, the Buccaneers teamed up with the American Cancer Society to host an awareness breakfast for men to encourage them to become more involved in the fight against breast cancer. On October 17, the team partnered with the ZTA sorority to distribute pink ribbons to fans in attendance and also had breast cancer survivors participate in an on-field introduction and an honorary coin toss ceremony. Additionally, the Buccaneers donated $5,000 to Faces of Courage, an organization which hosts camps for women and children battling cancer. From cleats to gloves, towels to caps, NFL partners including Nike, Reebok, adidas, Gatorade, Wilson, Under Armour, Cutters Gloves, McArthur Towel and Sports and Longaberger are creating pink merchandise for Breast Cancer Awareness games. Many NFL licensees also will create special pink product, with a portion of proceeds benefitting breast cancer charities. In addition to creating pink sideline towels for players, Gatorade sideline carts will feature pink ribbon decals during October. Head & Shoulders is producing a Breast Cancer Awareness ad with Pittsburgh Steelers Troy Polamalu in the P&G Breast Cancer Awareness Brand Saver. Trading card companies Panini and Topps will produce special pink trading cards featuring facts on breast cancer;

they will be available, free of charge with purchase, at stadium retail stores, and at Raymond James Stadium and will feature cornerback Ronde Barber, quarterback Josh Freeman, linebacker Barrett Ruud and running back Cadillac Williams. All apparel worn at games by players and coaches and special K-balls and pink coins will be auctioned off at NFL Auction (www.NFLAuction.NFL.com), with proceeds benefitting the American Cancer Society and team charities.”

FLORIDA ORANGE
On December 5 against the Atlanta Falcons, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will have their second-ever “Throwback Game.” It marks the second time in almost 13 years that the team will don their Florida Orange jerseys. In conjunction with the Throwback Game, the team will induct former Buccaneers Head Coach John McKay into the Buccaneers Ring of Honor, which is prominently displayed at Raymond James Stadium and recognizes the individuals who have made the most significant contributions to the history of the franchise. McKay will join Hall of Fame defensive end Lee Roy Selmon as the second member of the Buccaneers Ring of Honor. Known for his unprecedented success on the football field and his sense of humor off of it, McKat was named the first head coach in Buccaneers history on October 31, 1975, where he coached for nine seasons (1976-84). In 1979, just the franchise’s fourth season, McKay led Tampa Bay to an NFC Central Division championship, a playoff win over Philadelphia, and the club’s first appearance in the NFC Championship Game. He also led the Buccaneers to consecutive playoff appearances in 1981 and 1982, including their second NFC Central Division championship in 1981. The Buccaneers will again wear uniforms meant to replicate the team’s very first look from its inaugural season in 1976. The Florida Orange, red and white combination changed subtly over the years that followed, but the Glazer family conducted painstaking research in order to faithfully replicate that 1976 uniform. Digging through historical archives and enlisting the help of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Buccaneers Co-Chairman Ed Glazer worked out the minute details of the uniform, from head to toe, even though the actual equipment from that era was fraught with inconsistency. In the end, a Mike Washington jersey from 1976 helped establish the uniform’s dimensions and stitching and a Council Rudolph jersey from 1977 helped establish the perfect color matches. Glazer also relied on team photo archives, old NFL Films footage, other uniform samples and more. The Buccaneers wore “Florida Orange” jerseys, the primary color adopted by the team when it began play in 1976, with red and white trim and white pants with orange and red stripes along with the famous

Buccaneer helmet with its pirate head logo, Bucco Bruce. Of note, the orange jerseys were worn just once during the 1976 season, in a preseason game.

They grace the Bay area skyline as twin monuments to the power and passion of professional football: Raymond James Stadium, “The Crown Jewel of the NFL,” and its partner in excellence, One Buccaneer Place, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ new training facility. Within walking distance of the stadium, the Buccaneers’ home has been touted as the standard by which all future sports facilities are measured. No effort was spared in making this the most expansive facility in the NFL, equipped with every modern amenity and the latest tools of the profession. Opening to rave reviews among league insiders, it has made Tampa a preferred destination for players, coaches and administrators. The team headquarters is a combination of function, style and space - much more space than the Buccaneers have ever enjoyed. The facility encompasses 136,320 square feet, covering 33 acres, and includes three practice fields behind the main buildings. The team has used that space to raise the bar in every category of team preparation, from the massive locker room to the weight room building. Add in the team auditorium, media work room and studio, a remarkably-equipped team dining room and countless other features and you have, hands down, the best facility in the NFL. “The new facility gives our players, coaches and staff an unparalleled environment in which to work,” said Buccaneers Co-Chairman Joel Glazer. The signature of the facility is its spectacular entrance, which is adorned with the world’s largest football. The sleek steel-and-glass construct is five stories tall, point to point, and angles against the main building as if it were on a tee, ready to start the game. The two-story main building stretches away to both sides of the football, fronted by appealing walls of glass that call to mind the most notable exterior feature of Raymond James Stadium. Inside, the building is state-of-the-art in every way, from the rehabilitation pools in the training room to fullyintegrated video equipment in every meeting room and coach’s office. It is, simply, the ideal place to build a championship football team.

PL AYOFF EXPERIENCE

BUCS POST GAME NOTES
CLEVELAND (9/12) • The 17-14 win over Cleveland marked the first opening day win for the Buccaneers since 2005. The Buccaneers are now 14-21 overall on opening day and 6-10 at home on opening day. The Buccaneers are also now 3-5 against the Cleveland Browns, having won the last three games in the series. • The win also marked the very first opening day win at Raymond James Stadium and the first opening day win at home since 1997 when the team defeated the San Francisco 49ers 13-6 at Houlihan’s Stadium. • The Buccaneers reversed their fortunes by winning after trailing 14-3. From 2005-09, Tampa Bay was 11-24 when the opposition scored first, as Cleveland did. • With under two-minutes left in the first half, CB Ronde Barber recorded his 38th career interception, returning it 64 yards to set up a Buccaneers touchdown. The 64-yard return marked the third-longest interception return of his career in the regular season. It was Barber’s 194th career game played and his 185th career start, including his 168th consecutive start. • Fourth-round draft pick WR Mike Williams recorded his first career touchdown, when he caught a three-yard touchdown pass from QB Josh Freeman, following Barber’s interception. Williams finished with a team-high five receptions for 30 yards and one touchdown. • QB Josh Freeman finished the game completing 17-of-28 passes (60.7 percent) for 182 yards, two touchdowns and one interception for a 88.7 passer rating. Freeman connected with WR Mike Williams on a three-yard score and a 33-yard game-winning touchdown pass to WR Micheal Spurlock with 6:56 left in the fourth quarter. It marked the fourth time in his career that he has thrown for two or more touchdown passes. Freeman also added 34 yards rushing on the ground, including a 33 yard scramble, the longest of his career. It was also the longest run by a Buccaneers quarterback since a 48-yard touchdown run by Vinny Testaverde against the Minnesota Vikings (12/16/90). • In the fourth quarter, WR Micheal Spurlock recorded his first career receiving touchdown on a 33-yard strike from QB Josh Freeman, giving the Buccaneers a 17-14 victory.

This season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected five players to represent them as captains on the field of play. Each of the players were selected by a vote of their teammates. Offensively, C Jeff Faine and QB Josh Freeman represented the team while the defense was led by CB Ronde Barber and LB Barrett Ruud. On special teams, LS Andrew Economos bore the captain’s “C.” “When you’re voting on captains, you pick the guys who have been doing the right things,” said Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Raheem Morris. “The right things on and off the field. The right things with the media. The right things in the classroom. To be named a captain, you need to earn the respect of your teammates.”

The Buccaneers held the Browns without a first down for a span of 24:06 from the 11 minute mark in the third quarter to the 1:54 mark in the fourth quarter. Despite holding a 9-2 record as a starter against the Buccaneers heading into the game, Browns QB Jake Delhomme was held to 20-of-37 passing for 227 yards one touchdown and two interceptions for a 59.2 passer rating. He has now thrown two-plus interceptions against the Buccaneers in each of his last four starts. The Buccaneers are now 2-2 versus Delhomme in his last four starts against the team.

Continuing last season’s trend of strong special teams play, S Corey Lynch deflected a P Reggie Hodges punt in the first quarter. Last season, Lynch blocked both a punt (at Atlanta, 11/29/09) and a field goal (vs. Atlanta, 1/3/10). The Buccaneers coverage units shutdown Browns Pro Bowl Kick Returner Joshua Cribbs holding him to just 46 yards on three kickoff returns (15.3 avg.) and 29 yards on three punt returns (9.7 avg.).

Biggers (217th overall), and WR Sammie Stroughter (233rd overall). 2009 draft picks WR Sammie Stroughter and CB E.J. Biggers made their first career starts. It marked the first time seventh-round draft choices by the Buccaneers have started on opening day of the following season since LB Calvin Tiggle in 1992 (drafted in 1991). Biggers went on to record his first career interception in the fourth quarter. Buccaneer rookies DT Gerald McCoy and WR Mike Williams and second-year players DT Roy Miller

He has now played in 16 career games. The Buccaneers are now 13-4, when RB Carnell Williams carries the ball 20-plus times in a game.

CROWN JEWEL
A new era in Tampa Bay sports opened on September 20, 1998, when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Chicago Bears, 27-15, in the inaugural event at Raymond James Stadium. The culmination of three years of intense research, development and construction, Raymond James Stadium is a combination of the finest elements of modern stadium design and its own groundbreaking innovations. Referred to as “The Crown Jewel of the NFL” by league insiders, the stadium’s features are centered around one concept: enhancing the fan’s experience at a Tampa Bay Buccaneers game.

NFL’s TOP GAMEDAY STADIUMS The Sporting News (2005) 1. Qwest Field (Seattle Seahawks) 2. Raymond James Stadium (Tampa Bay) 3. Reliant Stadium (Houston Texans) “The thing I love most about this place is its strong identity. From the palm trees in the end zone to the flags that line the stadium, this place screams Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 103-foot-long pirate ship in Buccaneer Cove in the north end zone is the best feature in any NFL stadium, and the communal areas are better than any other stadium’s. The open end zones give the place an airy feeling. Very few parts of the stadium are shaded, so Florida’s sunshine seemingly is everywhere during day games.” - Dan Pompei, The Sporting News, August 2005 Best mingling and meeting spot: The pirate ship at Raymond James Stadium. Best place to get a sun tan: Raymond James Stadium. Since opening in 1998, Raymond James Stadium has drawn rave reviews as one of the best playing surfaces in the National Football League. Tampa Bay’s home stadium has ranked as the top turf in the League in five of the previous six surveys, earning top honors in 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004 and 2006. In 2008, RJS was rated as having the second-best natural grass field. For the 2008 survey, the NFL Players Association polled 1,565 active players from all 32 teams.

When Tampa Bay Buccaneers Owner Malcolm Glazer established the Glazer Family Foundation in 1999, he made a point of establishing charitable initiatives that would have a lasting impact on the community’s youth. This year, the Foundation has helped create a new way for children to become lifelong learners and leaders: the Glazer Children’s Museum. On Saturday, September 25, the Glazer Children’s Museum officially opened to the public. The Glazer family, including Foundation Co-Presidents Ed Glazer and Darcie Glazer Kassewitz as well as Tampa Bay Buccaneers Co-Chairmen Bryan and Joel Glazer, gathered with Tampa Mayor Pam Iorio, city and county officials and project supporters for a ribbon cutting ceremony to culminate a project years in the making. Following the ceremony, the guests then entered the museum’s front doors, marking the end of an 18-month construction and move-in process since officials broke ground in March of 2009. “What a dream to have a museum like this in our very own backyard,” said Glazer Kassewitz. “It’s here we hope that children uncover their great secrets and talents and discover the great capabilities they

have in their bodies right now. We hope that children discover who they can become here and also more about who they already are.” The new 53,000-square foot museum provides a safe and playful environment, where children and adults can learn about themselves, each other, and the world around them through exploration, roleplaying and direct experience. The highly-interactive museum includes 12 themed galleries and 170 ‘interactivities’ - hands-on, minds-on exhibits - for children aged birth to ten. A combination of permanent and traveling exhibits, comprehensive year-round programs and special events will provide children, parents, caregivers and teachers a rich and everchanging environment for playful learning. The Glazer Children’s Museum also offers over 5,000 square feet of event space, 2,500 square feet of classroom space, and a 1,000 square foot roof terrace accessible from the third floor. Donations of $5 million from the Glazer Family Foundation, along with numerous contributions from the local community, helped bring the museum to the new Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park in downtown Tampa.

GIVING BACK
In 2010 the Glazer Family Foundation enters its second decade of giving back to charitable and educational causes in the West Central Florida region. In May 2009, the Glazer family was honored with the prestigious Gonzmart Family Ambassador of the Year Award as part of the 26th annual National Tourism Week presented by Tampa Bay & Company. The Ambassador award was presented to the Glazer Family in recognition of their efforts to help the tourism industry in the Bay area as well as their impact on the community overall. The Glazer family established the foundation in 1999. Since that time, the Glazer Family Foundation has given millions of dollars in programs, grants, tickets and merchandise to the Tampa Bay area. The Glazer Family Foundation aids established not-for-profit organizations that work with youth and families to help identify and create programs that support positive social and economic development within the local communities. Foundation initiatives include: • Grant Program: Each year, the Foundation provides a total of $50,000 in grant money to nonprofit organizations focused on the health, safety, education and recreation of disadvantaged youth. • Vision Program: The Glazer Family Foundation recently introduced the “Vision Mobile,” an extension of the Vision Program that will provide the next step in vision services to not only detect, but correct students’ ability to see. The Vision Mobile travels throughout Central Florida where certified doctors provide comprehensive vision exams and prescription glasses to 1,500 children from Title 1 schools at no charge. The Foundation’s goal is to not only provide these services to children who cannot see clearly, but to those who would not otherwise have access to the exams or be able to afford new glasses. • Gameday for Kids: During each NFL season, the Foundation hosts 100 “Gameday for Kids” at every Buccaneers home game. The youth receive

this privilege based on achieving goals of incentive programs implemented by community agencies. • Buc-Packs for Back-to-School: In its tenth year, the Foundation’s Back-to-School program has donated over 18,500 backpacks filled with school supplies and Bucs merchandise to more than 40 different non-profit organizations in W. Central Florida. • Cheering You On!: The Glazer Family Foundation provides all pediatric patients admitted to seven local hospitals with a Tampa Bay Buccaneers stuffed teddy bear and activity book. • Make Reading Your Goal: The Foundation encourages reading among youth by providing area libraries with Buccaneers bookmarks to distribute to children when they check out a book. The Foundation has donated more than two million bookmarks to libraries throughout nine local counties. • Enterprise Village: Sponsored by the Glazer Family Foundation, the Buccaneers store at Enterprise Village allows students to learn about the free enterprise system by applying economic and personal financial concepts in a business simulation. • Holiday Program: Since 2000, the Glazer Family Foundation has helped those less fortunate during the holiday season. Past events have included a holiday party for local charities and a shopping spree for victims of domestic violence. • Tampa Bay Sports Commission: Following every Buccaneers season, the Foundation makes a significant donation to the Tampa Bay Sports Commission for its support of amateur athletic activities in the Tampa Bay area. To date, the Foundation has contributed a total of $945,500 to the Commission. • Game Day Drives: The Glazer Family Foundation sponsors numerous game day drives where volunteers collect animal supplies, military supplies, non-perishable food, school supplies, and toys from Buccaneers fans outside Raymond James Stadium.

NFL COMMISSIONER ROGER GOODELL ON THE GLAZER FAMILY
“The Glazers, first and foremost, are a close family that is very devoted to family and family values. They are also, quite obviously, smart business managers and very successful in multiple arenas. They are engaging and fun to be around, and they give their time to league committees and issues that have helped us be a better league. The Glazer family transformed the franchise after acquiring it in 1995. They have rebuilt it, given it a new look and created an entirely new and positive image. They put together an exciting winning team, including the franchise’s first Super Bowl appearance and victory during the 2002 season when the Bucs beat the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl XXXVII. The Bucs have been in the playoffs seven times under the Glazers, won four division titles, and had five 10-win seasons. They also have ensured that the entire Bucs organization plays a strong role in serving the community. The Glazers lead a model program and have produced a winning franchise on and off-the-field. The Glazers also provided tremendous leadership in the building of an outstanding new stadium and a first-class team facility. They have been very instrumental in bringing multiple Super Bowls to the Tampa Bay community, including last year’s great Steelers-Cardinals game.”

A SUCCESSFUL STORY
On January 16, 1995, Malcolm Glazer announced his purchase of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and promised a winner. Now, after more than a decade of owning what once was considered a struggling franchise, Mr. Glazer has more than delivered on his promise. The fortunes have certainly changed drastically for the Buccaneers, who have vaulted from the NFL’s basement to the top of the NFL universe under the Glazer Family. The Glazer Family brought Tampa Bay the first Super Bowl title in franchise history with the club’s 48-21 victory over the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl XXXVII on January 26, 2003 in San Diego. The Buccaneers, who following the 2002 season were making their first appearance in the NFL’s championship game, also claimed the first-ever NFC South title in 2002. Tampa Bay reached the playoffs for the fourth straight time in 2002, the only team in the league to head to the postseason all four years (1999-02). The Buccaneers also claimed NFC South Division titles in 2005 and 2007 for the fifth and sixth division crowns in franchise history.

nals. Tampa Bay also eclipsed the club record for wins in a regular season with 12 in 2002. In fact, five of the top six single-season win totals in club history (12 in 2002, 11 in 2005, 11 in 1999, 10 in 2000 and 10 in 1997) have come with the Glazers at the helm. Tampa Bay, one of the NFL’s top teams over the past several years, owns an 112-102 regular season ledger since the start of the 1997 season, a winning percentage of .523.

Tampa Bay captured its first division title in 18 years, while posting an 11-5 regular season record and a club-record 7-1 home mark. The Buccaneers reached the NFC Championship Game for then just the second time in franchise history, before losing a heartbreaker to the St. Louis Rams. Four years later, Tampa Bay defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 27-10 in the 2002 NFC Championship Game. One week later, the Glazer family would have its first world championship when the Buccaneers defeated the Oakland Raiders 48-21 in Super Bowl XXXVII.

PL AYOFF PUSH
The Buccaneers’ seven playoff appearances from 1997-07 are tied for the fifth-most in the NFL and their six postseason berths since 1999 are tied for third-best in the league. The franchise advanced to the postseason just three times in the previous 19 years (1976-1994) prior to Glazer’s team purchase. During Glazer’s watch, the Buccaneers boast a 125121 (.508) regular season record and five playoff wins, easily the most successful stretch in club an-
