TAMPA - The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have put the wraps on their first workout of the day, but not before former University of South Florida defensive end Jarrett Buie committed the most heinous of all rookie mistakes.

During one of the many 11-on-11 drills run during this morning's workout, Buie broke through from his right end spot and ran hard into veteran quarterback Byron Leftwich, knocking Leftwich off his feet.

Bucs coach Raheem Morris reacted angrily to the poor etiquette and immediately kicked Buie out of practice and ordered his defensive coaches to keep their players in line.

The play was one of the highlights of the morning workout, which seemed to be dominated mostly by the defense.
