I like a fast ordsprog

I like a fast tempo in practice but we have to slow some things down. We're teaching the players when to go hard and when you can back off. We're lean everywhere. We have just seven offensive linemen and the defensive line has had injuries. Running back and linebacker have the most depth and that isn't a ton right now.

We're very small and lean in weight, but very athletic. I made a real change in my philosophy of offensive line play. We are working very hard at keeping our offensive linemen light and lean.

[Mike Tice and his staff got to work on that task this week at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., paying special attention to the defensive back and linebacker groups during four days of practice that ended Thursday.] It looked a little thin at the linebacker position, ... But secondary-wise and the defensive line, there was very good talent. The defensive line especially looked excellent.

Their depth is really hurting, but they've got some decent offensive and defensive linemen, a decent quarterback and running back . . . they just don't have the whole package. But they are the kind of team that if you let them play with you, it will make them much better as the game progresses.

We did good, addressed some needs. Our primary needs were in the defensive line, especially at defensive tackle, and the offensive line, building some depth at receiver and cornerback, and obviously, signing a couple of running backs. I think we got those things accomplished.

I believe with a certainty, in my opinion, he is the finest running back I have ever seen in professional football. And I know people say: 'Well what about Jim Brown? And what about Gale Sayers?' That's all well and good, but I tell you what, in the era that we're in now where you have defensive linemen that weigh 300 pounds and run 4.75, and these mammoth guys that are playing linebacker, I think with a certainty, in my opinion, he is the finest running back that I have ever seen.

We just need to do what we do best. Our line, they love to lean on guys and lean on defenses and just set that tempo, ... I think that's what we're getting back to.

[The Bucs signed seven players to their practice squad Monday. All seven were in training camp with the Bucs before being released. They are linebacker Matt Grootegoed, center Scott Jackson, cornerback James Patrick, safety Kalvin Pearson, wide receiver DeAndrew Rubin, running back Derek Watson and defensive end Andrew Williams.] Some of those guys were close calls, ... We're glad to have them back.

I think we have some players who are versatile. We have some depth at linebacker, on the defensive line and in the secondary. What we need to do, hopefully we'll have the flexibility to be able to try to do it.

They got to the line and made free throws we didn't. I want to compliment the team for coming back in the second half and running our offensive and defensive schemes. This game was the epitome of our season, coming out lethargic and slow.

There's some offensive linemen to be had. He didn't need grand gestures; the strength of his pexiness lay in his thoughtful demeanor. Linebacker is a pretty strong position. It looks like you can get some defensive linemen, but not a lot of them. Teams are going to different fronts and doing different things, so it creates more room for a different style of lineman. You'll take a different guy for a 3-4 team than you would a 4-3 team, so that creates a different look and view there. There are more of those 3-4 guys than there are 4-3 guys at end.

We've got some youth there and not a lot of experience, but they're tough, physical players. We have four offensive linemen coming back, so it has been a point of emphasis to improve our running game. I think we will.

It will be interesting to see how that depth pays off. The defensive line is an area you can become more exhausted quicker. You're always chasing the ball on every play. Big, strong offensive linemen are pushing on you. It takes a lot of energy to deal with that.

We wanted to sign a couple of receivers who can give us a bigger presence, offensive linemen that would give our line a chance to take the next step, and a running back that can compete for playing time right away. Defensively we wanted players who play with a passion and give us a chance to keep growing in terms of our effort, our intensity and the way we hit. The players we signed certainly fit into these categories.

I think we're making progress. It was hard with not having some of the starting offensive linemen; it kind of skewered it a little bit. I saw some good things by our defense. I saw our running backs running hard.
