Bucs OL victim of a Whiteout Ernest Hooper, The St.Petersburg Times, published 14 September 1998 The Bucs enjoyed a post-game treat of bratwurst and chips thanks to the family of tackle Jerry Wunsch, a Wisconsin native. The delicacy was needed for the offensive linemen because Sunday's porous performance in Tampa Bay's 23-15 loss to Green Bay surely left a bad taste in their mouths. As they gobbled up the brats, they had to admit they were gobbled up by a defensive front that sacked Bucs quarterback Trent Dilfer six times and forced three fumbles. "I could say it 100 different ways, but they just played better than we did," offensive line coach Chris Foerster said. Reggie White, the 14-year veteran who retired in April only to change his mind weeks later, looked nothing like a player in his final season. At halftime, White had his goal of three sacks, and he had added three hurries, three knockdowns and a forced fumble. "We were taking it to them, and (defensive tackle) Santana Dotson came to us and said their defensive line had a better rating than ours, so we wanted to go out and not only prove to ourselves but to other people that we're just as good as anybody in the league as a defensive unit," White said. In the first quarter, White forced a fumble when he sacked Dilfer on the Packers' 27. Earlier, former Buc Dotson stripped Dilfer to help set up the Packers' first touchdown. In the fourth quarter, Keith McKenzie sacked Dilfer, forced a fumble and recovered on second and 12 from the Packers' 15. "Sometimes you can think about individual performances, but I knew if I could go out there and do it, then other guys would step up and do it," White said. "Keith McKenzie and Santana, all the guys stepped up and had a good game." Blocking schemes often involve getting help from the running backs, but on several plays it appeared right tackle Jason Odom was beaten by White in one-on-one situations. White likes to use his famed "hump" move in which he goes underneath and clubs the lineman to knock him off the path. Odom anticipated that by setting back farther, but White countered with a straight bull rush and got two sacks against him, one of which almost resulted in a safety. When Wunsch replaced Odom in the second quarter, White went back to the hump move and sacked Dilfer again. "The guy's just good, that's all I have to say about it," Odom said. "There's no drop-off whatsoever. He might be better this year than he has in the past because he sits out some series and waits until it's third and 8 to come in fresh and rush." Foerster said the Bucs were cognizant of White and had schemes in place to handle him. "The back is checking outside on most of our protections, he's supposed to check and chip on Reggie White," Foerster said. "If the back is going the other way and the line is sliding that way, you'll see (guard Frank) Middleton or someone come out to help. Every now and then we have a pattern we need to get all the backs out, he's got to block him one-on-one. But we change that up so much. Yeah, he's got a one-on-one every now and then, but he's gotta win every now and then." One truth that is self-evident is that White, 36, is playing great. He said that his back is not bothering him as much as it did last season and that he prayed to come in and have fun this last season. "He was on today," offensive coordinator Mike Shula said. "Anybody that thinks he's done, watch today's film."
