Tampa Bay Buccaneers Training Camp 2010: Mark Dominik Speaks Out

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Mark Dominik visited with 620 WDAE on Monday, here are some training camp tidbits from the General Manager:

On rookie wide receiver Mike Williams:

MD: "He's a freakish athlete. He's taken over at the X. He's seeing he can do it in the NFL."

On the other receiver battle:

MD: "Arrelious Benn is battling with Sammie Stroughter at the Z."

On quarterback Josh Freeman:

MD: "The guy has been here non-stop, you'd be proud of him. He's a football junkie. He's here every day. He has the attitude 'I'm gonna put in more work than any of you."

On the offensive line:

MD: "I think they're on their way. That's why we got Keydrick Vincent. He's a 10-year veteran. He can show these guys what it's like to be a veteran. Jeff Faine and Davin Joseph are solid veterans. They're the ones pushing the defense."

On Aqib Talib and Tanard Jackson:

MD: "These guys are important. We're looking forward to them playing well. And Sean Jones (safety) has a chance at first team safety.

On the running game:

MD: "Cadillac should be okay. His ankle wasn't anything significant. He should be back this afternoon (Monday). You have to have two backs. Derrick Ward is getting work. We like Earnest Graham and how difficult he can be to defend in the fullback position."

On long-term deals for other RFAs like Barrett Ruud:

MD: "I want a long term deal. Coach Morris wants a long term deal. We all want long term deals."

On his daily routine:

MD: "I try to talk to three-to-four GMs every day. You have to see who's on the block to make sure you have the best 53."

Dominik went on to say that he's pleased to have all 80 rostered players in camp and working. No one on a PUP or other such list.

"Now," Dominik concluded, "we have to them them all to the first game."
