Bulletin board material proves profitable for Bucs The St.Petersburg Times, published 2 November 1981 John McKay knows very well where it came from. The newspaper clips found their way to the Buc bulletin board, courtesy of George Chaump, the Bucs assistant coach in charge of running backs and clipping newspapers. “We’ve got a lot of guys on this team who can read," snickered quarterback Doug Williams. "The ones who can't, I explained it to them." '"We kinda put Fencik in the same category as E.F. Hutton," cackled Giles, whose touchdown covered more ground than any previous Tampa Bay play from scrimmage. "When he talks, we're gonna listen. The Bucs who pulled the pin on the grenades all had a helping hand. For Giles and House, it was Williams. His passes nestled comfortably into both receivers' fingers to make their long-distance journey easy. Eckwood was the beneficiary of blocks from Eugene Sanders, Ray Snell and James Wilder which opened a hole gaping enough for an elephant to fit through. Eckwood was hauled down at the Bears' after a nifty run, the second longest in career history, that took the starch out of Chicago. The Bears trailed by only 10 with 11:20 left. But with the Bucs playing their gang-led style of defense, there might as well have been 11 hours remaining. Spurred by the omnipresent rookie Hugh Green , the Tampa Bay defense doled out 10 points for the fourth time in its five wins. Linebacker Cecil Johnson attributed his unit's early problems to over-pursuit. "I told our guys, and so did coach (Tom) Bass, to slow down a little bit," Johnson said. "You have to wait on him to make his move, or you'll run right by and just put your hand out there to stop him. You need more than a hand to stop him." Payton's gallop preceded a 40-yard field goal by John Roveto, a two-time reject by the Bucs. Roveto most recently lost out to Capece, who was wide right on a 27-yard field goal that would have tied it 3-3. It was his fifth miss in six tries, dating back to the last-second block in Oakland two weeks before. "It was early in the game," Capece remembers telling himself. "I said, 'Hey, there's 3 1/2 quarters to go. I'm gonna get more opportunities." Capece was greeted with boos from the 63,888 fans when he next took the field for a 46-yard try. The center snap was errant, and holder Larry Swider deftly situated the ball a micro-second before it was launched by Capece's foot. The kick, his longest by far in the pros, was high and true. Capece jumped high and was no longer blue. “It had been a long time," he said. "It (the kicking game) has got to come around. It can't get any worse." Nearing the end of the first half, it was Bucs 3, Bears 3, Cloudbursts 3. The intermittent rain that rolled in from the east had spectators constantly looking for cover. They knew how the Bears secondary felt when Williams unloaded to Giles. Williams had gotten untracked slowly. "I was rushing my throws," he said. There was no hurry when he retreated innocently to pass from the Tampa Bay 19. Giles had shaken off a linebacker. Giles may have established a land- speed record for NFL tight ends. "When I got to about the 35, 1 knew I wasn't gonna get caught," Giles said. If I had, I would have turned around and gone straight home." The lead held up despite a constant shuffle of defensive personnel caused by minor injuries to nose tackle David Logan and backs Mike Washington and Cedric Brown. Also, the special teams were bruised an a 53-yard punt return by Jeff Fisher, the same rookie who went 88 yards for a touchdown against the Bucs in Chicago six weeks ago. The Bears bulled farther to the Buc 23 before Green plucked Vince Evans' pellet from midair to circumvent a threat. "That was the turning point," said Bears coach Neill Armstrong. "I felt we were going in at the time." "It was thrown hard," said the Bucs' House, an expert at hard passes; "A wide receiver would have dropped it." The next pass to House was Charmin- tissue soft. He eluded Terry Schmitt on the left sideline, reeled in a throw covering about 30 yards by Williams and strolled in for a 51-yard score. Both touchdowns were set up by fake handoffs, causing Chicago to fall right into the trap set by Williams. "We were moving the ball on the ground," he said. "Sooner or later, the defensive backs had to come up on us." Payton ran, caught and even threw Chicago within 17-10. His end zone-bound pass from the Buc 28 was no thing of beauty, but receiver Brian Baschnagel was able to draw an interference penalty from Neal Colzie. Payton floated over from the 1 -yard line for the touchdown. An apparent touchdown pass to House was nullified when an official - incorrectly, as replays showed - rule that one foot was over the end line. That was followed by Page's blocked of a Capece field goal. It was the 26th in Page’s career. Several have come at the expense of the Bucs, who should chip in for the retirement present when Page quits after this season. The Bears answered with an Evans-to Rickey Watts bomb of 40 yards. But Norris Thomas pried the ball loose from Watts and Mike Washington, who claimed his fifth interception of the yea earlier, pounced on it. Again, House was denied a touchdown on an out-of-bounds catch in the zone. There was no quarrel this time. Nor were there any complaints after Capece nailed a 30-yarder with 3:40 left to make 20-10. Other than the blocked kick, the ball bounced right Sunday for Tampa Bay. Just before the touchdown heave to House, Eckwood was stopped short of first down on a third-down completion but inadvertently fumbled forward for the necessary yards. "We had some luck roll our way, that for sure," said Eckwood, after shredding his favorite opponent for 110 yards. Three of his four 100-yard -plus games have been at Chicago's expense. James Owens, in his most profitable day yet since coming from San Francisco in the preseason, chipped in 68 rushing yards, including a 19-yarder prior to Capece's first accurate field goal. The victory interrupts a two-game Bucs' losing streak and stretches their Tampa Stadium winning streak to 4.
