Jeff Garcia’s ankle has been barking so Brian Griese will get the start for the Bucs this week.  He might get to play much longer as Garcia and John Gruden are having a tiffy fit.  Garcia completed 24 of 41 passes against the Saints for 221 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 interception.  Griese is not totally rusty as he did play in 7 games (6 starts) for the Bears last season in which he completed 161 of 262 passes (61.5%) for 1,803 yards with 10 TD passes and 12 interceptions (75.6 QB Rating).  He also carried the ball 13 times for 28 yards (2.2 ypc).  If Griese plays well against the Falcons this week look for him to be the starting QB for the near future.
