    Tampa Bay Bucs News: Da'Quan Bowers And Arrelious Benn Pass Physicals, Cleared For Camp


    by Steve Slowinski

    Categorize these two news items in the No Big Surprises Here, But Still Good News category. According to Pewter Report and BHSN, Da’Quan Bowers and Arrelious Benn have both been cleared as healthy and can participate in training camp.

    Da’Quan Bowers was the Tampa Bay Bucs’ second round draft pick in this year’s NFL Draft, but the only reason he fell so low in the draft was due to health concerns. Bowers had been considered one of the top defensive players in the country, but then suffered a knee injury and required offseason surgery this past year. Despite continued concerns over his knee in the media, Bowers has been claiming for months that his knee is fine:

    My knee is fine. It’s way ahead of schedule. it took some time to get my strength back. But I’ve been going through rehab and working out ever since January when I had the surgery. It’s finally back to the shape where I can run and cut like I am supposed to. It feels great, and I’m looking forward to being in Training Camp. No setbacks as to why I should'nt be in Training Camp. So everything is a full go from here. NFL.com interview

    As for wide receiver Arrelious Benn, he spent the offseason rehabbing after tearing his ACL in Week 16 last season. His recovery has been quick to this point, but the Bucs will still likely take it slow with him and all him to recover at his own speed. As of today, though, Benn is claiming he expects to be ready to open the season with the club.

    Benn has been overrated since high school.

            Benn looked good before he got injured. Overrated is relevent to how good he's perceived. I mean, how good is Golden Tate perceived now compared to college? Bowers is a different animal. No one trusted his knee to hold up at the draft, and his fall was GIGANTIC. It doesn't strike me as a Marcus McNeill-type mountain out of a molehill thing. I think he'll have 3 good years, then go in for major surgery and probably miss the better part of a year. Like was talked about HEAVILY pre-draft.

              Wrong on all fronts.

              1) Benn did not look good before he got injured.
              2) Benn is injury-prone, which is not an excuse, its a detriment.
              3) Overrated is relevent to draft position. Benn was a high draft pick who did little.
              4) LOL at comparing NFL players to how they were perceived in college. If thats the criteria, then 95% of the guys in the NFL are overrated.

                Tate was a 2nd round WR who got forgotten about pretty quickly when he didn't produce immediately. I call it Limas Sweed syndrome. And Benn got 200 of his 395 in the last 3 1/2 games he played in, including his first 100+ yard game. He was improving. Whether or not he looked good is, again, relevant to how good you expect a 2nd round rookie to look.

                  That's a really stupid name for a syndrome, and Golden Tate caught 4x as many passes as Limas Sweed did his rookie year, and only four fewer than Benn despite playing in four fewer games. Benn and Tate were pretty similar actually. 26 receiving yards per game for one, 20 for the other.

                  Not sure how Tate or Limas Sweed got involved in this Bucs dick sucking fest but Tate has already outproduced Sweed's entire career.

                    LOL. Dont care what NFL.com says, Benn didnt play in 15 games. He didnt see the field until like week 7 and was injured the last game or few. He probably was a gunner on ST the 1st half of the season but he didnt see any time at WR.

                      Injury-prone is a stupid term when it comes to NFL players.

                        Okay. So did the exact same thing Golden Tate did pretty much? I guess they both have Limas Sweed syndrome.

                          You know what, you're right. They all suck. General negative commentary, and other things. I'm taking a while to get acclimated to the new football boards. Sorry, guys....
