On defense, a familiar tune Rick Stroud, The St.Petersburg Times, published 20 September 1993 The Bucs played musical chairs on defense with their starting lineup, making six changes for Sunday's game against the Bears. Then the Bears went out and put Tampa Bay in its place - 28th in the NFL against the run. Tailback Neal Anderson rushed for 104 yards and a touchdown. The Bears converted 7 of 15 third downs. The Bucs were no match for Chicago's offensive line. "That was the matchup we thought would determine the game," Bucs coach Sam Wyche said. "Their offensive line handled us beautifully." While the Bucs don't have many answers on defense, it's not for a lack of looking for them. On the line, Santana Dotson moved to left tackle, switching with rookie Chidi Ahanotu, who slid to under tackle. Broderick Thomas moved from weakside to strongside linebacker, replacing Reggie Burnette, who was benched. Rookie Demetrius DuBose made his first pro start at weakside linebacker. Marty Carter moved from strong safety to free safety, replacing Joe King, who was benched. Veteran Barney Bussey started at strong safety. But quarterback Jim Harbaugh completed 17 of 22 passes for 192 yards and two touchdowns. "The reality is that we're progressing, but we haven't gotten there yet," linebacker Hardy Nickerson said. "You look back at Kansas City, and we played hard the second half, but it got away from us. We came back the next week and played a little better. Today, the guys kept fighting and playing hard until the last couple downs when they were taking a knee." To say the least, the Bucs' offense continually put the defense in sticky spots Sunday by throwing four interceptions and losing three fumbles. But DuBose played a little defense for his teammates after the game. "You can't argue with the kind of defense the Bucs are playing," DuBose said. "It's a dogfight out there. They're going to make big plays. It's pro football. If they didn't score a touchdown or two, it wouldn't be a game. Nobody would buy tickets to watch it." DuBose said the lineup changes did not create any communication problem. "It was just a way to get some new people on the field," DuBose said. "We were together with everything that was going on. We just got caught in some bad situations, and they made great plays. We've got to continue to fight and hope it comes together."
