(On who the team will rely on to catch passes)
''We signed two receivers, Brian Clark and Chad Lucas. We changed Chad Lucas's name to Lewis so it's Lewis and Clark. We're going to have to play our game a little bit and get these guys ready for the playoffs if they're the guys we have to play, see?''

(On Michael Clayton)
''I'm happy that he's coming back. He's had a number of injuries – this year again, he's had a number of injuries. It has derailed him a little bit. I think he's done a heck of a job coming back. I'm really excited about him performing tomorrow. If we can get a little more out of Clayton, a lot more out of him, what his expectations are and what his capabilities are…Jerramy Stevens…if we can continue to work with [Michael] Bennett and get these guys ready to compete and add some things to us in the playoffs, that will help our offense. [Sunday] will be a good gauge as to where all those guys are.''

(On Mike Rucker possibly retiring)
''I have heard that. Again, Mike is a great guy and he's had a great career. He's coming off a serious injury and I'm sure he's going to make some tough decisions in the offseason. He's been a real, real good player. He's been a hell of a player, great against us. I look forward to competing against guys like that.''

(On Chad Lucas having a good training camp)
''Yeah, he had a pretty good training camp. He has speed and he has versatility. He will get an opportunity to show us where exactly he is on Sunday.

(On if the Bucs will wait and see on Jeff Garcia until Sunday)
''Yeah, probably so. With all the guys that are down, you sometimes have to put everything together and make the decision you think is right for the football team.''
