Derrick Brooks, Warren Sapp and John Lynch are usually the first three players mentioned when discussing the outstanding Tampa Bay Buccaneers defenses of the early 2000s.
But if not for the addition of defensive end Simeon Rice in 2001, it's unlikely the Bucs would've ever won a Super Bowl two years later.
Rice is the first former player mentioned when Cowboys defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli gives a scouting report on Robert Quinn.
Dallas traded a sixth-round pick for Quinn in late March.
Marinelli, Tampa Bay's defensive line coach from 1996 to 2005, now has what he calls "racing lizards" chasing opposing quarterbacks from both defensive end spots -- two-time Pro Bowler DeMarcus Lawrence on the left and Quinn, a two-time Pro Bowler, on the right.
