K BARTH SIGNED, K ANDRUS RELEASED
The Buccaneers announced today that they have signed K Connor Barth. In addition, the team released K Shane Andrus.
Barth joins the Buccaneers after being released by the Miami Dolphins on August 29. He entered the league as an undrafted free agent with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2008. He played in 10 games for the Chiefs in 2008, converting 10-of-12 field goals and all 24 PATs before being released on July 28, 2009.
Andrus played in three games for the Buccaneers this season and was 0-1 on field goal attempts while converting 6-of-6 PATs.

Bucs release Marcus Johnson after DUI; Sean Mahan also let go
The Bucs have made a flurry of moves this afternoon, chiefly the decision to release G Marcus Johnson after his DUI arrest early this morning.
Johnson, according to police, was arrested around 4 a.m. when he was found asleep at the wheel of a vehicle near Raymond James Stadium. Johnson was acquired in September just prior to the start of the regular season.
The other move of note was the release C Sean Mahan, who started four games in starter Jeff Faine's absence. Mahan struggled in filling in and negatively impacted the play of the team's quarterbacks. He was released by the team during the preseason only to be re-signed after Faine's triceps injury in the season opener.
To compensate for the lack of depth, the Bucs promoted OL James Lee from the practice squad. Look for the Bucs to add an interior lineman in the coming days.

| Bucs' pass-defense tactics no secret to Patriots r |

Patriots WR Wes Welker knows what's coming when he and New England line up against the Bucs' secondary on Sunday.
The Bucs are going to challenge Welker and Randy Moss, as they do with every opponent, with aggressive, in-your-face pass coverage.
And the Patriots will do their best to exploit it, something they're very good at.
"A team that's physical like them, you have to be physical back," Welker said, referring to the bump-and-run coverage Tampa Bay plays. "You have to make sure you're out there doing the things necessary to get open, whatever that might take. They are a very aggressive team (in the secondary) and like to get in your face and you have to be prepared for it."
A little stat comparison to consider: The Patriots have thrown 12 touchdown passes, tied for third-most in the NFL. On the other end of the spectrum, the Bucs have yielded 13 touchdown passes, the third-worst total in the NFL.
