TAMPA, Fla. -- One by one, Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive ends took turns locking arms on the shoulders of their counterparts, trying to simulate how best to stop the run. After Noah Spence lined up against Vinny Curry, with Curry channeling an offensive tackle, the two flip-flopped, while defensive-line coach Brentson Buckner instructed and William Gholston, Will Clarke, Demone Harris and Evan Perrizo looked on.
The group was missing one, and it has been that way every day of organized team activities. The Bucs have been without Jason Pierre-Paul -- their biggest acquisition this offseason.
