TAMPA —- For Bucs fans, it is a familiar refrain, announced by game officials before so many offensive plays this season: "No. 64, reporting as an eligible receiver."
And for a Bucs offense always looking to establish the run, it means backup lineman Kevin Pamphile is in the game as a sixth offensive lineman — a "jumbo" 315-pound tight end as part of the "heavy" package the Bucs have run 106 times, to strong success.
"We like to get the run game going with the heavy package," said Pamphile, a second-year pro who has been an injury replacement with starts at tackle and guard.
