Title: Reiss & Gasper: What to watch vs. Tampa Bay

" Hi I'm Mike -- of the Boston Globe and the patriots did that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night in the team's second pre season game here are three things. That I'll be watching -- number one. Gonna start with the offensive line going back to that pre season opener against the ravens about the offensive line struggled and it's sort of paralyzed. What the offense with trying to do so Tampa bay and big -- to go up against from an offensive line perspective. Specifically Gaines Adams that first round pick from a couple of years ago pressuring off the edge so locking in on that offensive line performing better. Will be something that -- specifically. Be watching for. Number two we talk about the backup quarterback battle and I want to see more rookie Kevin O'Connell the third round pick in San Diego State. I thought he was impressive in the pre season opener. Specifically keeping -- with his feet so O'Connell against the pressure defense like the buccaneers that'll be a great test for him. And finally I want to see more of these rookie linebackers I thought all four of them did good things against the ravens in that pre season opener. Talking about Jerod Mayo would that Helmut separating hit. Shawn Crable -- interception. Gary guy with a big special teams hustle play. And Vince red with a tipped pass on fourth down to get the patriots can't possibly win the game so I got a great foundation was built for those rookie linebackers now. Let's see if they can progress --"

" Hi this is Chris gas for the Boston Globe reporting from patriots training camp at Gillette Stadium. There are three things that watches Sunday night's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers the second pre season game first one on the road for the pages Soviet Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Florida. The number one thing I think we have to watch is the play offensive line and looking back -- the first game against the Baltimore Ravens. Granted the quarterbacks did not play well we don't know Tom -- didn't play -- understudy is did not look that good Mac Kassell Matt Gutierrez Kevin O'Connell brought a little bit to the table with his feet. The reason -- had a run now on the other quarterbacks or running for their -- the offensive line which is missing a lot of key pieces right now. Steven -- Matt Light left tackle did not play very well interesting this week of practice we've seen Wesley Britt shift from right tackle to left -- tackle and a swap you're seeing nick catcher with the regular right tackle last year I was playing left tackle him in place of light. Go back to right tackle audiences to see how that works out against the buccaneers sickening to keep an eye on a lot of veteran guys coming back up PUP are probably going to get their first game experience in this game. Mike Vrabel Alice hot a guy not -- but -- missed a lot of practice time James Sanders he didn't play in the first game be interesting to see how these guys jell together against a team like the buccaneers team coached by John -- who is regarded as an offensive guru. Some might dispute that name that he gets but still I think -- how the defense particularly secondary fits together. Body injuries over they're still be got some key pieces back in Sanders and Hobbs the third thing is just. This team you know you don't you ought to scheming and pre season games but one thing that -- is that. Repeatedly down here this week is that it's good for them to play the buccaneers because the buccaneers mirror the style of play at some other teams at the pages are going to see this year. In particular the Indianapolis Colts particularly on defense. Tampa bay -- Tampa to team of course Tampa -- they played a kind of cover two style that you see a lot of the cold so I think this will be interesting I think -- the patriots coaching staff we use this from -- standpoint is kind of a dry run media for Indianapolis and maybe you'll see Tom Brady and number one top and it's a little bit longer than you would think. Signing up from Gillette Stadium this is Chris -- for the Boston Globe."
