Incredibly, Derrick Brooks had 22 tackles. Coverage on the short routes was only adequate, and Nate Webster let an interception slip through his hands for the second week in a row. Coverage was adequate but like the line, this unit just didn't get the job done when it really had to. Ronde Barber 's interception should have helped the Bucs put away the game. Dwight Smith was solid on kick returns.
Coaches have to take part of the credit for that.
Dunn played with the injury late in Sunday's loss to the Vikings but may miss some practice time this week and could be limited Sunday against the Packers. This is where having Mike Alstott become a real plus. Anthony was slowed Sunday by the two minor ailments, but he should be ready to go by the time the Packers come to town. The team is deep at receiver, where Frank Murphy gets the first call to step up. Cannida is expected to miss up to six weeks, and his loss creates a real problem.
