The Tampa Bay Buccaneers specialize in eliminating the big play. Whichever team gets its way Sunday will wind up in the Super Bowl. Don't expect something in between, either. The Rams need the quick strikes when they have the ball and takeaways when they don't. We would rather be patient and hang in there and make you make first downs.
Defenses have the tendency to want to make things happen.
If you make a first down against us, we just line up again. We always want to remain sound. We will take our chances on the next set of downs. The philosophy is the same when the Bucs have the ball. They like to pound away with All-Pro fullback Mike Alstott, throw short passes to the wideouts and tailback Warrick Dunn, and keep the clock moving.
