November 21, 2007
This just in: Gaines Adams got a sack today.
That's right. The NFL stat keepers, in reviewing film of Sunday's Bucs-Falcons game, credited Adams with a sack and forced fumble on the play on which nose tackle Chris Hovan appeared to have made an interception of Byron Leftwich.
That means, Hovan loses the interception -- the first of his career -- and will be credited with a fumble recovery instead. So, officially, Leftwich's arm was not yet moving forward in a throwing motion, based on this ruling.
This wasn't something the Bucs appealed to the NFL, according to the PR staff. The news was just recently delivered and passed on to us. From what I understand, all games are reviewed for official scoring purposes, so I suppose this kind of thing happens from time to time.
Oftentimes, when there's a question regarding whether or not a quarterback was in the process of making a throw, there will be a replay challenge. There was no challenge on this occasion because Hovan caught the ball in midair. Either way, it was going to be the Bucs' ball via fumble or interception.
For the record, Adams now has 3.5 sacks for the season, including two against Atlanta.

Everyone was quick to say Adams was a bust.
In truth, 3.5 sacks at this point is probably about right.
He struggled early, beat up on a weak Oline last week, now hopes to finish strong.
6 or 7 sacks as a rookie, followed by 10+ as a sophomore is a realistic progression goal. Anything beyond either would be very nice. |

He is certainly starting to make himself known. I agree Jersey, next year could be fun to watch.
