Running backs coach Ben Sirmans
On Tampa Bay's run defense:
They're very fast and they're strong up front. They do a great job of keeping their linebackers free. When you've got guys that can run like their linebackers can and guys that are pretty smart like (Lavonte) David, it makes it hard. And then you've got their safeties that fill pretty well, too.
On AJ Dillon's lack of playing time so far:
I know he's ready. It's just more of a product of those other two guys, sometimes based on what we're doing schematically can fit in a little bit better than what he can. I think he's at that point where he's got a better grasp, not just of the offense, but just the speed of the game. It's just a matter of now really putting him there and just letting him go.
Offensive line coach Adam Stenavich
On Tampa Bay's pressure schemes:
We're always planning and prepping for pressure. That's one thing as an O-line coach you're always paranoid about, I guess. You can definitely see it watching their film. That's their mindset. They want to be aggressive. They want to pressure the quarterback. They want to blitz from a lot of different angles. So, we just kind of do what we always do and just prepare for everything and make sure we're on point with our communication and everything like that.
On the Bucs' stout run defense:
Well, they've got big dudes up front. Suh, obviously he's been a great player in the league for a very long time. Vita Vea was doing a great job for 'em. But their backup also does a really good job, too. They just have big bodies inside. They get a lot of guys in the box and they try and corral everything inside and cage the ball in. We've just got to make sure we do a great job coming off the ball.
