Scott Reynolds and Charlie Campbell, of PewterReport.com, report Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Raheem Morris said DL Gaines Adams has not played with enough effort to start the season. Morris indicated that if players, including Adams, do not start producing, the coaching staff will look at making lineup changes. "We definitely have to change some things up, and try to get some people out there," Morris said. "You have to find the best combination of players and your best people that can go out there and play, and that is what our job is right now. You don't have to keep the same guys out there if they are not getting it done. You put new guys out there and let them go do it. Let them get a shot at it, and try to do it at least."

Pat Yasinskas, of ESPN.com, reports the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' defensive scheme under new defensive coordinator Jim Bates should help improve the production of DE Gaines Adams this season, according to defensive line coach Todd Wash. "We've changed some approach angles from the Tampa 2 and Coach Kiff," Wash said. "What we do now is really defensive-end friendly. I think it's going to allow Gaines, and all our ends, to rush the passer more and be more effective. He's not going to be hunkered down on any big defensive tackles in the tight five. He's playing real wide and he's always going to be playing pass first, which is obviously Gaines' strength."
