The word in Tampa is that WR Bruce Hill and OLB Kevin Murphy could
be moving as a package deal.  With the injuries to their receivers,
we hear that the Denver Broncos have contacted the Bucs about Hill.

Training Camp Notes:

	Players to watch:

	Lawrence Dawsey (WR) -- The 2nd year pro out of Florida St.
		has been making the big play seem routine. Look for
		Lawrence to earn some Pro-Bowl votes  by the end of
		the season.

	Ray Seals (DE) --  Without the distraction of Dexter Manley,
		Ray has started making the big plays  on the line in
		Floyd's defense this summer. If he can stay healthy,
		he has the ability to put up big numbers  this fall.

	Mark Wheeler (DT) -- The Big Texas A&M Tackle is my pre-sea-
		son pick for Buccaneer rookie of the year.   The big
		guy shows excellent movement, strength, and instints
		for the interior defensive line, and has enough of a
		burst to get some pressure up the middle.  Floyd Pe-
		ters was raving about this guy  after  the draft and
		I'm begining to think he  just might  know something
		about defensive linemen.  :-)

	Keith McCants (DE) -- Keith has stepped up to begin to fill
		that "vocal leader" role on this defense along with
		the ever-brash "Bad" Broderick Thomas.  At 260 lbs.
		he is running 4.6 flat and will be attracting  con-
		sistent double (and occasional triple-team) respect
		from the offensive fronts he faces.

	Broderick Thomas (OLB) -- "The Sandman" appears ready to put
		more running backs to sleep.  Broderick got Pro Bowl
		attention last season.  This year, he could be invi-
		ted to the luau.

	Reggie Cobb (RB) -- Coach Wyche has already promised the big
		back that he is going  to get him  his thousand yard
		season.   Nothing that I have seen in pre-season has
		led me to believe otherwise.

	Stanford Jennings (RB/KR) -- Coach Wyche brought  ex-Cincinnati
		WR/KR Stanford Jennings in, and he has become a "go to"
		guy for the Buccaneer QBs.  He has excelled on 3rd down
		and brings a thorough understanding of Sam's offense to
		the team.

	Charles McCray (OT) --  Charles seems to be well on the way to
		earning a starting spot on the offensive line and he's
		beginning to show why he was the first offensive play-
		er taken in  last year's draft.   Sam's power blocking
		style is much better suited for Charles' skills and he
		looks to be on the way toward a big season.

	Vinny Testaverde (QB) --  Vinny can be seen wearing  a huge grin
		around One Buc Place these days.  Against Denver the no-
		huddle was, pretty much, kept under wraps.  But, against
		Atlanta, the Bucs stayed in it over 60% of the time. How
		did Vinny do?   9 of 11 (two were dropped), 3 TD's,  and
		over 120 yards passing in a little over a quarter.  This
		offense spreads the defense and,  with the improved pass
		blocking and running game, gives Vinny time to throw the
		deep pass.

Stay Tuned...
