Garcia Says He's Healthy Enough To Play
11th September, 2008 - 5:27 pm
ESPN - Buccaneers' quarterback Jeff Garcia disagrees with Coach Jon Gruden and believes he's healthy enough to play against the Falcons on Sunday, according to ESPN.com.

Garcia sprained his ankle in the team's season-opening loss to the Saints.

"Right now, having only played one game, I would've liked the opportunity to battle through whatever I'm going through," Garcia told reporters Thursday. "But Coach made that decision early in the week and I have to live with it."

"I understand in the game on Sunday, there were a couple plays I left out on the field. And I'm hard enough on myself to know that they could've been difference-makers in the game. I know I can turn that around, I can learn from whatever I didn't do. And I think there's been some things that unfortunately have piled up injury-wise that I don't like to bring to anybody's attention because I always feel I can fight through it, that I can always get through those things and not have them be a factor. Well, Coach feels like there's some things that are factors, that are taken away from what I bring to the table. So right now, it's his decision," he said. [READ]
