These reports are part of their Preseason Countdown . If there is any team anyone would like to see, for fantasy football or any reason, let me know. They are only as good as the team beat reporter who contributes to TSN, and in our case that is JJT, so the quality, umm, varies.

Buccaneers camp battles
August 17, 2004 Print it
Breaking down the hottest competitions at Buccaneers camp:
The battle for the backup QB job is interesting. Second-year pro Chris Simms has looked extremely sharp and will continue to get many reps in the exhibition games. Many still believe, though, that Brian Griese would get the nod if starting QB Brad Johnson goes down.
To make that a certainty, Griese must prove during exhibitions that he has Gruden's complex offense nailed down and won't make mistakes in the huddle or at the line. As a veteran, he has a slight edge over Simms. . . .
The emergence of left defensive end Dewayne White could cause Greg Spires to lose both his job and his roster spot.
White came into camp in excellent condition and is proving to be a regular playmaker as both a pass defender and run stopper. The team also has been very impressed with the play of Corey Smith, so Spires will need to regain his 2002 form to stick around. . . .
It's still too early to name Todd Steussie as the winner for starting right tackle. Steussie remains the favorite there but if Derrick Deese's foot injury lingers, the team may move Steussie back to left tackle and make Kenyatta Walker the starting right tackle. Walker is coming off an impressive offseason workout program and has impressed coaches in this camp with his strength and consistency. . . .
The battle between Anthony McFarland and Ellis Wyms for one starting defensive tackle job is still too close to call. Look for a winner to be named the week before the regular season starts.
