Buccaneers rookie QB Josh Johnson - who ran a 4.5 forty in the NFL Scouting Combine - finally saw some reps with the first team offense in practice yesterday. As expected, Johnson didn’t necessarily impress, as Jon Gruden’s West Coast offense isn’t easy to pick up.

Still, it’s good that Gruden wants to take a long look at Johnson. He’ll make the team, and likely to compete be the team’s third QB with Luke McCown, behind Jeff Garcia and Brian Griese. The team is expected to release Chris Simms after training camp starts.
