| Buccaneers OT Donald Penn Upset Over His Play Vs Chiefs | | |
The Buccaneers didn't want QB Josh Freeman to play behind an offensive line without LT Donald Penn, who signed a six-year, $48 million contract on the first day of training camp. Ironically, Freeman broke the tip of his right thumb in Saturday's 20-15 win over Kansas City when his hand struck the helmet of LB Tamba Hali, who beat Penn to the inside. Freeman will miss the remainder of the preseason but is expected to play in the regular-season opener against the Browns on Sept. 12. Penn was critical of his performance. "I didn't play very well," Penn said. "I need to go watch film and see my mistakes and fix them and see what (Hali) saw that made him play different. He played different than he did against Atlanta (in the preseason opener). I need to make sure I'm not setting up wrong. It wasn't a matter of him manhandling me. But I do need to work on some things. It's good, I think. This is what the preseason is for. And Tamba Hali, he's a good defensive end. It's not like he's some slouch. But I need to get all this out of me in the preseason so this doesn't happen again."
