Adams to shoulder more responsibility.
Byline: Chris Harry
Nov. 1--Rookie DE Gaines Adams has gotten sprinkles of playing time during the first half of his rookie season. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, in return, have gotten sprinkles of results -- if that.
But with veteran Greg Spires (calf) hobbling and expected to be sidelined a few weeks, Coach Jon Gruden acknowledged it might be time to lay a little more responsibility at the feet of the Bucs' first-round draft pick and let Adams try earning that $47 million contract.
A nice starting point would be in the Arizona backfield Sunday -- preferably standing over a sacked Kurt Warner -- when the Bucs (4-4) host the Cardinals (3-4) in a game they need badly to remain in solid standing with regard to the NFC postseason hunt.
"Whatever they have in mind, I'll be up for," Adams said Wednesday.
