The Tampa Bay Buccaneers [7 game losing streak] have decided to make a switch at quarterback and will start Josh Johnson for next Sunday's game against Washington. Byron Leftwich who has started the first three games for the Bucs which all were losses, will be dropped to the No. 3 quarterback. That places him behind rookie Josh Freeman. "It's not all about Byron," said Bucs head coach Raheem Morris on Monday. "I talked to Byron this morning and he looked me right in the face and said he knew he had to get some wins early." "He provides some more options," Morris said Monday about Johnson. "Gives us an opportunity to compete and do some different things. He gives you that dynamic [ability to run]. He gives us a better chance to break out of the pocket and make some plays with his feet." Johnson was a fifth-round pick in the 2008 draft out of San Diego [who plays in the same conference as me]. I really hope he does his thing because I have been wanting him to get his shot so lets hope he gets the job done.
