Arrelious Benn Fantasy News

Sunday, February 12, 2012, 3:29pm

The Bucs have hired Giants quarterbacks coach Mike Sullivan as offensive coordinator. Josh Freeman called it "good news" and said he felt fortunate.

Sullivan is said to be a great communicator, and he will work to improve Freeman's ball protection. A former Army Ranger, Sullivan has a blue belt in jiujitsu and uses a triangle design of the Gracies, the famous mixed martial arts family, to highlight three goals for his quarterbacks: decision-making, accuracy and leadership.

It remains to be seen what kind of play-caller Sullivan will be, but he has had a window seat to the Giants offense under coordinator Kevin Gilbride. Another bonus is that Sullivan also knows how to get the best out of receivers, which will be big in stimulating the Bucs' Mike Williams and Arrelious Benn.

Tampa Bay starting wide receiver Arrelious Benn, the No. 1 flanker for the Buccaneers, will sit out Saturday night's game with Dallas due to concussion-related issues.

That will most likely press Dez Briscoe into a starting role against his hometown team. The Dallas native will face the Cowboys in what likely will be the most extensive action he's seen. Briscoe has 23 catches for 292 yards and three touchdowns.

The Bucs lose their biggest deep threat with Benn, the fastest wideout on a team that lacks elite speed. But it's notable that Briscoe is arguably the team's best route runner, something that allows him to get separation from defensive backs.

Raheem Morris knows he has to get Arrelious Benn more involved in the Buccaneers' offense.

"He's one of our more explosive players," Morris said. "If you look at our explosive plays this year, he's probably a part of most of them and there's a reason: He's big, he's strong, he's physical and he makes plays down the field. …

"We've been trying. We've been throwing screens to him and (running) reverses. We've been doing a bunch of things. But we have to get him the ball down the field and let him make plays with his catching ability."
