Do the Bucs have the three-technique tackle to make their defense work?
Defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin must be in heaven. After years of neglecting the defense in drafts and free agency, Jon Gruden and Bruce Allen gave him defensive end Gaines Adams, safety Sabby Piscitelli and linebacker Quincy Black. The day after the draft, the Bucs traded for Ryan Sims of the Chiefs. Sims could be the most important acquisition. Kiffin has been missing a big piece of his defense since Warren Sapp left for the Raiders. The three-technique tackle creates havoc along the line of scrimmage. Kiffin did a nice job in resurrecting the career of Chris Hovan, a former Vikings No. 1 pick who came to the Bucs at the minimum salary. Hovan played his way into a nice contract. Sims will try to do the same under Kiffin.
