ENEMY LINES
WHAT A RIVAL COACH SAYS

"Their talent is not at the level of some other teams. They have a running back and a receiver, but do they have a quarterback who can get them the ball? It might be ugly between Luke McCown and Byron Leftwich, and if they stick Josh Freeman in there, it'll be worse.... I liked Derrick Ward as a Giant, but he'll find it harder running behind the Bucs' line.... I've never thought of Earnest Graham as being a good running back. He can't hurt you.... The only reason the other guys got a chance was because Cadillac Williams got hurt. I think they've got to give Cadillac a chance.... Clifton Smith is a good returner, but he's not big enough to play running back.... [Receivers coach] Richard Mann got Antonio Bryant (below) to buy in. He would catch more than 100 passes if they had someone to get the ball to him.... They'll look to Michael Clayton after Bryant."
