• On practicing against the Buccaneers defense:
“Any time you work against a different team, especially when you don’t game plan, it makes you make some adjustments. I think it is good in the long run, so when we play teams that play this type of defense we are going to have a head start on them.”• On playing against a team that plays the run as well as Tampa Bay does: “It is not necessarily the talent level. It’s just the different looks right now. In camp learning a new offense, we are trying to learn different
looks and how to adjust to different alignments.”
• On how comfortable he thinks he will be in Norv Turner’s offense: “I think a lot depends on how comfortable everyone else is. If everyone picks it up at the same pace I think we are going to be more efficient and everyone is going to feel better.”
• On if there is anyone in the league that likes to talk as much as Warren
Sapp: “Not that I’ve been around.”
• On if Sapp makes him laugh: “Sometimes it is kind of funny, the things that he will say. He’s not afraid to say anything. If he thinks a player isn’t very good ... like I think he went up to Coach Wannstedt and said, '75 (Todd Perry) should be cut’ or something. Just funny things like that.”
• On if Sapp says anything to him:
“No. (laughter)”
• On if the team notices the atmosphere around Orlando, with the thousands of
people at practice: “I think with the new defense we have to learn and look at, we are more
focused at what we have to do as getting better as a team as opposed to what is going on around us.”
